Montclair Community Pre-K
Share
Educational Excellence * Diversity * Community Spirit * Nurturing Families For Montclair residents we provide sliding scale tuition based on family income.
Montclair Community Pre-K offers a curriculum that emphasizes each child and the way he or she learns best in a warm, welcoming, and encouraging environment. We are NAEYC Accredited, which is the highest possible quality rating a pre-school can achieve. For the convenience of our families, we operate on a flexible daily schedule with a daily half-day program from 8:30 am -12:30 pm OR a full day option from 8:30 am-2:30 pm with extended hours from 7:00 am-6:30 pm. We have a full-time registered nurse as well as a daily on-site Family Services Director, both here to assist our children and their families on a case-by-case basis. We have 11 classrooms, serving a total of about 200 children per year. We offer a bilingual Spanish option for our three, four and five year olds. We are a full inclusion model in collaboration with the Montclair Public Schools and the Developmental Learning Center. Our classrooms mirror those your children will see in Kindergarten in Montclair Public Schools. For more information please visit us online at www.montclairprek.org, or in person at 49 Orange Rd. Montclair, NJ 07042 or give us at call at 973.509.4500. We’d love to hear from you and your child.
