Marlboro Montessori Academy

I feel so fortunate that our family has been a part of Marlboro Montessori Academy.  The teachers are outstanding and really focus on the individual child.  My children have been at MMA since they were 3 years old and now they are attending their kindergarten and 1st grade programs.  MMA is an incredible school that has provided both a challenging and nurutring environment for my children.  MMA has given them the love of learning, and have prepared them to face the challenges of the future.  I can not thank MMA enough!

Erin C.: Marlboro Montesssori has a thirty-year track record of educating self-directed life-long learners. I can attest to this because I graduated among the first graduating classes and have two ivy-league masters degrees! I believe the critical early learning stage is when Montessori can integrally impact and define the future academic paths our children take. At Marlboro Montessori, the staff combined with the curriculum make it the superlative learning environment that it is. All three of my children presently attend Marlboro Montessori and I am thrilled, especially with their language and reading acquisition. I highly recommend MMA, their staff and administration. In a word, extraordinary.

Dina: With all due respect to the previous reviews, you don't make an assessment on the performance of a school based on what the payment options or the number of tuition installments are.  You wouldn't send your child to a terrible school because they have a terrific payment plan. My daughter has been in the Marlboro Montessori pre-k program and the school is terrific.  The teachers and staff here are great, and my daughter loves her teachers & the school.  I feel that as a parent, they keep me engaged with what is happening with my child, but also with what is happening in the school, with regular e-mails and written communication to my home.  It is a bit more costly, but look at the student to teacher ratio, and your child is in a true, structured learning environment as opposed to "daycare/babysitting".  Having looked at many other alternatives, there no question this was the right place to settle our daughter.

This is a good school, have a good environment and friendly teachers and nice administator, however, the tuition is very higher than another competitive Montessori and Academy schools.  Also the tuition is very confusing as the school is only for 9 months class, but you have to pay for 10 payments.  You need to circulate the tuition very careful as you need to read the calendar to figure out when is the end of the school year.  You will find out the end of the school is on the begining of June.  However, they break down the payment for 10 mth installments, it seems you pay less.  Actually you pay more and pay for 10 mths class, but it is only for 9 mth class for your kid to attend.
