The Children's Academy was established in 1981 by Susan Weller, a career educator with over 20 years of experience. Dedicated to the philosophy of Maria Montessori, the Academy's academic goals are to work with the whole child. The children are encouraged by our nurturing staff to reach their own individual potential using their unique gifts.
The Academy employs 8 highly qualified Montessori trained teachers, a French teacher, and a music teacher.
We encourage parental involvement. Children's Academy is proud of our Parents Association, which works closely with our teachers to make your child's academy experience an enlightening and enriching one.
Since 1981, the Children's Academy has grown from a student body of 35 to its present enrollment of 75 students.
The Academy has 3 separate classrooms. The Little Room was developed for pre-primary children, ages 2 1/2 to 3. The Transitional Room is a smaller environment for 3 and 4 year olds. The Big Room serves the needs of children 3 to 6 1/2.
Please take the time to learn more about Children's Academy. The links at the left are a great place to start and our doors are always open.

DROP-IN PROGRAM
This program is available for all Children’s Academy students. A.M. and P.M. students are invited to spend a full day at school. Advance notice is not necessary. Pack your child’s lunch and enclose the fee of $35 for Big Room students and $45 for Transitional and Little Room students. This enables half day students to enjoy a full day Montessori curriculum from 9A.M. to 3 P.M. . (Transitional Room and Little Room students must also bring a blanket for rest time.)
BEFORE AND AFTER CARE
We will be continuing to offer our before and aftercare programs at the lower hourly fee of $10 per hour. We hope this will help some of our families with their difficult schedules to continue a wonderful Montessori education at The Academy. Before care will be available from 7:50 to 8:50 A.M. and after care will be available from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M. Prior arrangements are appreciated but not necessary. We hope this will be a helpful service.
LITTLE ROOM LUNCH TIME ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
Little Room students are invited to enjoy lunch with Mrs. Lombardi from 11:30 to 1:00 P.M. daily. The fee for this program is $20 daily. Please click here for further information. THIS PROGRAM IS AVAILABLE TO LITTLE ROOM STUDENTS ONLY.
KINDERGARTEN AT THE ACADEMY
A Montessori education is a powerful foundation for many future years of learning. Kindergarten at The Academy is an excellent opportunity to have your child continue their growth, both socially and academically. If you are considering this option, please contact Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sarno. They will be happy to discuss the program with you.
