A Unique Millburn Montessori Program
Alpine Millburn's unique Montessori early education program presents Montessori manipulatives within a traditional learning environment. We use the Montessori Method to promote each child's natural abilities and develop their skill set. Our low student-teacher ratios and small class sizes enable us to nurture and assess each child continuously. Because we know it's essential to keep parents updated on their childrens' progress at school, we engage in a high level of personalized communication, including newsletters, regularly scheduled parent-teacher conferences, and the timely return of parent phone calls.

Millburn Preschool
We have two preschool classrooms designated to our 2 1/2- and 3 1/2-year-old students at Alpine Montessori of Millburn.
