About Our School
Founded in 1996, Community Montessori Academy celebrates our 15 Year Anniversary! Beginning with one classroom and eight children, we have grown to 4 full classrooms while maintaining the integrity of Maria Montessori’s methods. With two of our original teachers on our staff today as Head Teacher and Staff Supervisor, along with the rest of our teachers, we are proud to boast longevity among our Montessori staff.
We are located in a beautiful residential neighborhood of Verona, NJ, but within walking distance to public transportation to NYC.
Inside our school you will find a buzz of content engagement among the students as they work, grow and learn in their classrooms. It is our passion at Community Montessori Academy to provide the highest quality environment, staff and opportunity for each child and family.

The Montessori methods and philosophies we follow make sense, work with each child’s own patterns of development, and encourage self-worth, respect and autonomy.
As a result, the children develop a concrete understanding and basis to learn academic concepts for years to come. Children also learn life-skills, grace and courtesy, peace and respect .
Their early life experience at CMA allows them to reach their full potential cognitively, socially, emotionally, physically and academically, while encouraging them to value themselves and others, and gain solid decision-making skills.
Children leave CMA to go on to first grade or kindergarten with the knowledge, confidence and readiness they need for success. In the bigger picture, our society reaps the benefits.
