School Reviews
5 9/12/2026
We''ve had a fantastic experience at the Montessori Learning Center in Ridgewood! Our toddler has grown so much in the past year at MLC. It''s been amazing to watch his confidence, independence, and practical life skills develop. The teachers and staff are caring, patient, and truly dedicated to their students. We love the Montessori approach and the way they encourage the children to to explore and learn at their own pace. Furthermore, they were also understanding and flexible, as we needed to navigate the right schedule for our son, as it was his first preschool experience. We''re so grateful to be part of the MLC community and would highly recommend the school to any family looking for a warm, supportive Montessori preschool and transitional kindergarten.
