Evergreen Kids Academy is a highly praised Montessori-based center in Closter, NJ where parents report excellent teacher quality, strong academics, and individualized attention. Parents consistently highlight the welcoming environment, effective communication, and the school's ability to prepare children for kindergarten. Multiple reviewers compared it favorably to other local daycares and preschools.
This Montessori-based academy is truly one of a kind. My son attended from age two through the June before kindergarten. We tried two other daycares/schools in the area prior to Evergreen and struggled to find the right fit in both structure and environment. Evergreen stood out as top-tier from the moment we walked in. The teachers are incredibly welcoming and clearly understand the responsibility that comes with caring for our little ones. Their consistent communication and photo updates made me feel like my son was still a part of my day, even when we were apart. They foster a family-friendly environment while also teaching strong foundational skills. My son left Evergreen extremely well-prepared for kindergarten. I would recommend Evergreen 1,000%.
My kids have been attending this school for 2 years. I highly recommend this school. Firstly, I visited a lot of schools prior to going here and my kids have attended a few in the area and I will say this is the best one! The teachers are so lovely and kind. I have not had issues with any teachers. The activities the children do are of high quality and my kids have made so many friends. They learn so much as well. I recommend all of my friends and family to come here.
Evergreen Kids Academy is a wonderful school, filled with some of the best teachers you’ll find around here. They are loving, nurturing, and really make learning exciting. They are Montessori based, but not fully, so there is more structure, while still having independence and learning through play in Montessori. They offer the best of both worlds. They are always willing to help with any concerns. My kids were very shy when they started. When Ms. Lisa saw how quiet my daughter was, she would periodically group her together with another child while working, so she could get more comfortable with other kids in the class. She ended up being everyone’s best buddy. Ms. Jeannie has also helped my son overcome a lot of anxiety/socialization obstacles (being a Covid baby/toddler). The teachers go the extra mile to help kids with what they need. Both Ms. Jeannie and Ms. Lisa (the main teachers) are passionate about their job. The TA’s are amazing too, especially Ms. Kate, who is always has a big sweet positive attitude! My daughter who is in first grade, went to preschool here. She and her friends from EKA are at a reading level of 2nd-3rd grade because of the love of reading they developed at the school. Imagine a preschooler asking about chapter books! This review is long overdue. EKA may not have many reviews, because they never ask parents to write them, knowing parents already have enough on their hands. I can’t rave enough about this school!
Our children love the school and the teachers so much. Simply the best.
Awesome school!
