Smoke Rise Cooperative Nursery School

I have two children, one who graduated from this school and one who currently attends. My children previously attended another preschool but we made a decision to switch them to Smoke Rise Nursery School and it was the best decision for us. My children adapted quickly and loved going to school. The staff are wonderful and so loving and nurturing. My oldest is now in kindergarten and she is doing very well and was more than prepared. Their curriculum is play based and the skills that are required for kindergarten are integrated into activities. The children get a lot of attention and one on one as needed. There are a lot of wonderful class trips and visitors that come into the school that enhance their learning experience. Socially the school has been wonderful too. The parents plan a lot of play dates on days they are not in school and just the overall program really has helped my children come out of their shell. I highly recommend it and the school is open to residents from all surrounding towns.

If you are seeking an excellent education for your child in a safe environment then look no further. Smoke Rise Nursery school is a must for your child - best school in the area. You don't have to reside in Kinnelon for your child to attend because the school is open to all surrounding towns. They offer a positive environment with warm and compassionate teachers. The teachers all have impressive academic backgrounds and have such great dispositions and treat the children as if they were their own. The amount of work and effort they put into teaching (activities, music, games, art, field trips guest speakers etc) the children is simply amazing. We have seen such positive growth in our child academically and socially since he has attended. He cannot wait to go to school. The best decision we made was sending our son here.

We moved into Kinnelon in January and I sent my 4 year old son to the Smoke Rise Nursery School. I can't be happier with the teachers, the school and the amazing school/parent community. This school is such a positive, loving and nutting environment for your child to thrive academically. I'm so happy on my sons academic progress from going to the Smoke Rise Nursery School. I highly recommend any parent to send their child to this great Pre-School!

I love the smoke rise nursery school... my daughter goes here now and my son will go next year. First of all, it is within a gated community, which makes me feel good. The classes are small and personal, my daughter LOVES her teachers. The parents are so involved - even on days when my daughter does not have school, the class Mom will send out an invite to the entire class on where everyone can meet up for a play date. The prices are low because they do rely on parents to help out... but it's not a huge commitment. I would highly recommend this school if the hours work with your schedule.

My son attends Smoke Rise Nursery School. He loves going to school. He comes home enriched and excited to share all of what he has done each day. As his parent, I appreciate the feed back I have received from the stellar teachers at the school, pertaining to the socialization and learning that my son is experiencing. I wish my other child had attended Smoke Rise and I am so happy that we have one more year here!
