Reviews of Apple Montessori Schools & Camps - Cliffside Park (Kindergarten)

The teaching methods develop patience, and clear the basic concepts. Being with elder kids helps

This school is falling apart , no go area of you are looking for compassionate teachers and efficient management . They are after the money and no quality or work ethics . Not a nurturing environment for young ones .

Amazing Amazing Amazing! This is all I have to say. My child is so happy and this school is really a school, not just a daycare! She is learning so much since she started at Apple and she has made so many new friends. My daughter even started setting the table at home and has learned to say thank you and please. She has been so polite, all lessons of grace and courtesy learned at Apple. This is her second year at AMS and I couldn't imagine sending her anywhere else. I endorse this program and feel that it is the best care offered in the area.

Greatest staff ever, children are well taken care of and everyone is so friendly the secretary Mrs. Morales even has come to our car to help me carry out my child. The teachers and advance curriculum are the best. We have been so lucky to have found this school! I recommend to everyone!

The teachers are the best. I am editing this post. I have to say the school considered our request for relocation out of country and is helping us to the best way to manage this relocation. My Son has learned a lot. He is forcing us to clean up things before leaving our house. The biggest change we are seeing is his assertiveness. I am not talking about tantrums but clearly communicating and being assertive about what he wants. We have no second thoughts if we come back to US that we will take up Apple MOntessori

I really like the email communications & photos sent of the children participating in the class activities.

This is my fourth year at Apple Montessori and whats stands out the most is our teamwork. Directors, teachers, and assistants alike treat each other like family instead of just coworkers. this is the quality i have always appreciated and has resonated with me since my first day of work

It’s been truly a pleasure that our son is part of Apple Montessori Cliffside Park. We are very happy with the school and especially the warmth and greeting we received from the staff at the Cliffside location. It’s been two weeks and we see good improvements in my son. I will surely recommend this school to my other friends. All the best !!!

The first time I visited the school , It was amazing to see a multi-aged grouping of children working and cooperating in such a harmonious way. I must admit that at first I was doubting this method but after enrolling my 3 year old I am a true believer. We have been at the school for about 8 months and I will also be enrolling my Toddler as soon at he is 18 months. I love this school and they are super attentive and most importantly CLEAN!!!

I only gave one star for the montessori system itself and valuable teachers who did well with my kid within the last two years. Other stars could not be gained by the school's main executive team for their ongoing mistakes and wrong handlings. I definitely do not see them as professionals and believe that they are not capable of handling multiple locations. Executives/owners use Cliffside Park location as a feed to all other locations. They do not take CP kids as priority and they can change the main teacher twice a year if there is any teacher needs in other locations! In CP location, within the last 2 years, the main teachers were replaced four times and manager of the location was replaced 3 times, I did not even count the assistant teachers.. Not worth the money and time..

Literally no oversight. Over promise, underdelivery. Teachers are unhappy. Administration not qualified and misleading. Turnover after turnover in staff, teachers and administration. School set up is poorly done. Have to cut through classroom to go anywhere in the building and distract the flow of everything. Not aligned or talented enough to understand childrens psychology. In fact, teachers talk about the kids, make fun of or judge and intuitive kids certainly feels the discomfort of that. Many parents are mislead and pay the heafty fee every month only to find out that immature administration and rooky teachers are not able to deliver. Most teachers don’t have proper education degrees. In fact, most of them never tought anywhere else but at Apple. Save your sanity and money and really really think twice before enrolling into this school. My 2 cents.

The graduation ceremony was great. Filled with adorable songs and gave the kids an Opportunity for public speaking. The gifts bags were over the top great and unexpected. We loved the personalized books and the framed class photo. It was really nice. I am very confident my daughter will do well in first grade. She is excited to learn. Thank you.

Our daughter is in the toddler room with Mrs. Weinstein and we couldn't be happier with the level of care and attention she receives. She's starting to eat on her own with a spoon and fork and she pushes in her little chair when she's done eating. We came from another daycare in Manhattan and were a little nervous to switch her to a new center but our daughter took to the class and the work very easily. Whats better, with the apps and the video streams I get to see and read about what she's learning everyday. So impressed!

What a lovely schools my kids love it.

Thanks a lot for sharing information and photo emails with us It really motivates us and makes us feel proud to hear and see everything our child is doing at Apple montessori schools. We love the school.

I will always remember you as my first teacher, like you said first is the best!.

My son is in Mrs. Weinstein's class - toddlers - since January. I am very happy with the experience. He loves going to school and I can see the difference. He learns new things every day and has become much better behaved since starting. Ms. Weinstein and the assistant teachers are great. You can tell that they really care about our son. I'm so glad we chose this school.

It starts with the friendly, bright and joyful atmosphere that greets you in the morning, the diversity and thoughtfulness of each activity, day and week, and wonderful staff that I have come to trust. I love the weekly updates, and the opportunity to be a part of my son's growth, development, and enjoyment, thank you for being there- accessable, available, and affordable, thank you!

When touring the owner gave us individual attention this was amazing, even though I have a 5 month child they still gave me the information and treated me as if I were enrolling that same day. I was impressed at the level of work I saw the children doing and I will be sending my child here as soon as she is of age. They start at 18 months so I know the time will come sooner than I can imagine. I might even go to their Hoboken location to see since they begin at 6 weeks old. If their infant program is as amazing as their toddler and preschool programs are I will sign up ASAP!

we have had an amazing experience at Apple, Zoe started at Apple in. She had been in daycare until the age of 9mo but because of multiple infections leading to respiratory complications she was transferred over to having a nanny at home. This left her a bit sheltered. Despite the fact that she has/had a small community of playmates in our building, Zoe was awkward making friends and in dealing with social situations. This betrayed her at home personality, which as Ms. Wojick can tell you, is typically loud, brash, silly, bossy and overall awesome. We had a new baby on the way and so we decided to enroll to give her nanny a break and also to get Zoe to be more social with other children. We were frankly hesitant to send her to school because she is horrible with transitions but we were determined to find the right place for her. We looked at every school in the Cliffside Park area. Given that Zoe is very independent we thought that a Montessori would be best. We checked out a few and frankly liked Apple the most. I remember leaving after observing a class amazed that the kindergarteners could read and well!!! We enrolled Zoe and though it was slow going at first, it was a revelation. She started opening up, becoming more social. Not only that but she was singing, dancing, counting, adding and spelling all before the age of 4. I think she learned more phonics than I knew by first grade. She has blossomed amazingly, and I honestly think that it has a lot to do with your school and her teacher Ms. Wojick. She was just the right person to get Zoe to open up but also knows how to read her very well and keeps her in line effectively when Zoe is misbehaving. Thank you so much again.

The building is so clean and the staff is the best. Everyone is super professional and the children have a great time at this summer camp. I would not send my children to any other camp! I give this school 5 stars!

Taught my child to be independent, to focus, and to follow through with tasks.

I love your teachers and your services. I have recommended two of my friends to your school, and they are very happy. I would definitely bring my child back here if we move back from NYC. We will truly miss all the caring and loving teachers, assistants and service you have shown us

Curriculum brought me to look at the school, but Mrs. V has me sold. She was great with my son on the day we went to see the school. This made me comfortable with leaving my child here.

Seldom do we have or take time to appreciate the brilliance, and magnificence of those who support us and take care of our children. We have only been to AMS this summer and and my son absolutely loves it
