The Montessori House is a Full Member School of the American Montessori Society (AMS), and has commenced the 18-to-24 month process of becoming a school with AMS Accreditation.

As a Full Member school, The Montessori House is required to have all classes lead by an AMS credentialed teacher. 

While the school already meets the objective standards for accreditation, the AMS accreditation process requires documentation of critical processes and an examination by an AMS accreditation team. 

As you can see by following these AMS links, few schools in New Jersey are Full Member schools, and only a handful are accredited by AMS:

• The Montessori House AMS Listing
• AMS Accreditation

The Montessori House is also licensed by the State of New Jersey as a stand-alone Child Care Center. 

All our school credentials and licenses, and all our teacher credentials are available for inspection in the Credentials Book in our office.

Our Numbers

The following chart provides some useful statistics about The Montessori House. Please note the following: 

• The full-day Pre-Primary Enrichment program is new in 2009.  Please compare total Pre-Primary students from year-to-year.


• For many of our Pre-Primary students, local public schools will only guarantee a spot in a neighborhood school for children who start in kindergarten , accounting for the relatively lower rate of children moving from Pre-Primary to Kindergarten.


• The percentage returning reflects children not returning for all reasons, including relocation out of the area.
