Scotch Plains Montessori

We are incredibly grateful to the Scotch Plains Montessori team for taking care of our Avery for 3 years, fulltime. In parent years, that is a lot of valuable support. The teachers connected with her on a nurturing and educational level. We value SPM’s intimate setting, their balance between independent play and teacher lead instruction, customizable lessons, and the interaction between all age groups. I will never forget the support we received when our girl fractured her arm or when we needed to jump in last minute this past summer. The team keeps parents engaged with volunteer opportunities and will host family events. We are truly grateful that our daughter started here. The team’s passion truly shines. Thank you SPM for all of your care and always prioritizing safety.

Although I don’t have children enrolled at Scotch Plains Montessori School, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know the school, the owners, and the work they do in the community. It’s clear that this is not just a school, it’s a place built on care, dedication, and a genuine passion for children’s growth and development.

The owners are warm, thoughtful, and fully invested in creating an environment where kids can thrive. Every conversation I’ve had about the school reflects their commitment to excellence, from the way they approach early childhood education to how they support families and staff.

Even from an outside perspective, it’s easy to see why so many parents trust Scotch Plains Montessori. It’s a nurturing, well-run, and inspiring place for children to learn and grow.

Scotch Plains Montessori is truly exceptional! The staff is warm, dedicated, and genuinely invested in every child’s growth. The facility is beautiful, safe, and thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming environment for learning and exploration. The Montessori curriculum is outstanding—children are encouraged to be independent, curious, and confident. It’s clear the kids are thriving here and parents feel supported, connected, and so grateful to have such a nurturing school in our community. Highly recommend to anyone looking for the very best start for their child!

My son attended SPM for a year as his introduction to school and socialization with peers. The Director and teachers embraced him with such care, compassion, and met him where he was developmentally. I love that they did not have a one size fits all approach to teaching the students. While at SPM, my little one made such wonderful strides with his milestones and looked forward to attending daily. Thank you Ms. Brandi and Team for your commitment and wonderful work you do.

I can’t say enough great things about SPM. The teachers and staff are warm, caring, and truly treat the children like their own. My son has been at this school since he was 18 months old. He’s now 4. One of the things I value most is the consistency; the teachers have remained the same since we started here. That stability is so important at this age, as children form meaningful bonds with their teachers and classmates.

SPM provides a wonderful balance of fun and educational activities, along with family nights throughout the school year that really bring the community together. Communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel informed about my child’s day and progress. We are so grateful to have found SPM. It truly feels like a second home for our little one.
