What is Montessori?

Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, this educational approach engages children in purposeful, joyful activities, fostering independence and a love for learning. In our mixed-age classrooms, certified Montessori teachers guide students through hands-on lessons in math, language, practical life, and cultural studies, creating confidence and a strong foundation for future success.

Our new address will be 425 Amwell Rd, Hillsborough, NJ 08844.

Built With Curiosity in Mind

Every space in our new building reflects our commitment to a child-centered education. With classrooms for art and music and expanded outdoor play areas, the campus offers all the room children need to make, move, and explore. Here, every element—from the abundant natural light to the dedicated cultural areas—helps children become learners for life.

Our Programs

at a Glance

Stepping Stones

Beginning at 16 months, the Stepping Stones program introduces toddler-aged children to independence and community. Here, children develop essential life skills like toilet training, self-feeding, socialization, and even cooking.

PRIMARY

For ages 3–6, our Primary program inspires abstract reasoning through learning by doing with materials like movable alphabets and golden beads. Mixed-age classrooms allow children to learn from older peers while teaching and leading younger ones.

Elementary

Our upper and lower Elementary programs prepare children for life. Students take ownership of every subject from geometry to grammar, helping create curious minds, problem-solving skills, and a lasting sense of purpose.

Enrichment

These programs extend the learning so students build character and explore diverse interests in everything from Spanish and computer coding to band and physical exercise.

Nurturing Independent Learners

for Over 55 Years

As one of New Jersey’s and the United States’ oldest AMS-accredited schools, we’ve evolved alongside the children we’ve helped become lifelong learners, while always staying true to Dr. Maria Montessori’s vision. Founded as The Carroll School, our Hillsborough roots continue to run deep nearly six decades later, nurturing generations of children as they discover their place and purpose in the world.
