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.
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.
By focusing on the individual, our programs consider the Whole Child, including social-emotional development and life skills.
As one of the few AMS-accredited schools in the region, our curriculum upholds the highest standards of Montessori education, ensuring children receive only the best learning experience.
Our experienced faculty is the foundation of everything we do. Bringing an average of 10 years of experience to the table, our teachers are committed partners in your child’s growth, helping them feel seen and truly thrive.
Families often describe CBM as a second home—faculty know their child, communication is effortless, and the environment is just as supportive.
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.
We are currently accepting applications for the 2025-2026 school year. To schedule a remote Open House/Tour, please sign up and our Admissions Director will contact you.
Our daughter joined CBM at 2.5 years old, and she is now almost 5 years old. We could not be happier with our selection of a preschool for her. CBM is a wonderful learning environment, and fosters creativity, education & academia, co-mingled with practical life skills.
This is our first year and I have three children in different classrooms at this school – Lower Elementary (6 yo), Primary (5 yo) and Stepping Stones (3 yo). My children come home every day happy, healthy and excited about school.
We have been going to Cherry Blossom for seven years now. Our oldest daughter is in elementary, and we have one son in primary and another in stepping stones. We drive an hour every day to bring our children to school at Cherry Blossom simply because it is the best school we found, hands down!
My son started at CBM since he was 18months old. What we love most about the school are the teachers and the staff. The teachers are passionate about their work, care about the school and most of all they are genuinely concerned about the kids.
Throughout these past five years at CBM, we continuously remain impressed with the knowledge, experience and communication of the teachers and administration. The academics our children are exposed to and learning on a daily basis and at this young age, is extremely impressive.
What we love about the school is the staff and teachers that really care about the children. We like the honest “family” environment CBM provides us. We look forward to continuing our journey here and eager to see facilities improve with move to a new building soon!
Our oldest learned to read so well already in Kindergarten, and we couldn’t imagine switching schools. Beyond the academics, the teachers and staff are just so kind. They really provide a loving atmosphere where kids can be kids. We feel very fortunate to have found this school, and to be a part of its community.
For the past 4.5 years, Cherry Blossom Montessori has truly been a second home to our kids. We’re so grateful for the enriching experiences they get to have every single day. Honestly, they love school so much that pickup time is often a struggle because they never want to leave!
Love the teachers, staff, students, and other moms! Warm welcome from everyone as soon as you walk in the door that really makes it feel like a second home for the kids.
We are so grateful to have found Cherry Blossom Montessori! Everything about this school – the amazing, nurturing teachers, the wonderful administration, the Montessori learning environment, the fellow students and parents – make this the perfect place for our little girls to thrive and grow!
