Hoboken Montessori School

nice place

HMS is a bright, clean and nurturing environment. The teachers are talented and loving in equal parts. We have been astounded at our children's academic progress. By just 4 years old, children are reading, doing complex math with manipulatives, and developing a mature understanding of cultures and geography. We also found the Montessori method to be effective in helping our children develop interests and a sense of self. Miss Kendra and Miss Katja are both superb teachers that really partnered with us to ensure the emotional well-being of our children. We feel exceedingly fortunate to have been a part of the HMS community.

We love HMS! Our first daughter attended the school starting in the 2's program and over the years there she made wonderful friendships that she still maintains, she had amazing teachers and learned to read and write before leaving for Kindergarten! Now our youngest is finishing her 1st yr there in the 2's program and we once again are having a wonderful experience. HMS will always remain a special place for our family.

A few years ago, we set our sons to HMS for PK 3 & PK4. The school environment was clean, bright and calm. The staff was dedicated, kind and very professional. Denise runs a ' buttoned up' operation (from strict safety measures...to ....the robust curriculum) . She was completely focussed on serving the children to the fullest degree . Highly recommend.

If I could give HMS more than 5-stars, I would. We are truly grateful for HMS -- the entire teaching and admin staff. Our children have flourished there. They developed a love for learning, curiosity about the world, and kind, respectful hearts of individuals who care for others. They have fun at school and absolutely love it. HMS has been an outstanding experience for the kids (and for parents). The Montessori method encourages the pace and interest of the child while infusing learning across a broad range of foundational skills. Both received attention when they needed it and more challenging materials when they were ready to advance beyond the mean. The staff are super helpful and nurturing, and the parent community is equally supportive. HMS has provided an outstanding foundation for our children that truly made a positive impact.

Excellent School --Our son was at the HMS for three years and we had a wonderful experience. The teachers, administrative staff and all the parents are a wonderful community and everyone works together. The education method, activities, art, developmental support, communication with parents etc. etc. are all top notch and the school successfully strikes the balance between providing the best academically, while still maintaining the wonderful family feel --- which we believe are all so key to help a child develop into confident young learners in these formative years.
