At the Montessori
Center of Nyack, learning is a natural and joyful experience for every
child. Education is not regarded as the passive acceptance of other
people’s ideas and pre-existing knowledge, but the active pursuit of
many different experiences--social, physical, emotional, as well as
cognitive. Placed in a supportive environment where individual rates of
growth and development are respected and nurtured, children develop a
healthy, natural curiosity and a life long love of learning.
Founded in 1978, the Center has been serving the community’s children
for over three decades. Our teachers, like our students, come from a
variety of backgrounds and cultures, but all have been carefully chosen
and trained through the Association Montessori Internationale, the
American Montessori Society or other recognized Montessori teacher
training programs. Special teachers are experts in their fields. We
are an affiliate of the American Montessori Society, accredited by the
National Association for the Education of Young Children, and licensed
by New York State as a day care center.
