our philosophy

At The Montclair Academy, we believe that every child is a unique learner with limitless potential. We nurture the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally—through a balanced approach that blends individualized instruction, play-based learning, and a variety of proven educational philosophies. Our enriching curriculum incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM), along with early Spanish language exposure, to spark curiosity, foster creativity, and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

At The Montclair Academy, we understand that every family’s schedule is different. That’s why we offer flexible program options designed to meet your unique needs. Choose from part-day or full-day preschool, with before and after care available from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM. We offer 2, 3, or 5-day per week enrollment options to suit your routine and budget. Our small student-to-teacher ratios ensure personalized attention and a nurturing environment—setting us apart from other preschools in the area.
