My son started at Hudson Country a little over a year ago. They have been like an extended family to us. They worked with us in everyway possible to help my son adjust to the school and he has grown so much since he started. They are community oriented and all of the staff devotes so much time and

When a family has any sort of issue whether it be a job loss or medical issue everyone from staff to student pitches in to cook meals for them, raise money for them, anything they can do to help. I have never seen so many people band together to help each other. Read less

I have a daughter in the pre K. I like her teacher. But the school is not that good in teaching the kids. I moved from another State and I wanted to put my kid in the montessori because I like the concept of Montessori teaching and I also have a very good experience in the other montessori school. But
... Read more I am sorry to say that I am little disappointed. It is not worth spending so much money in this school. Whatever my child is learning is just becuase I teach her at home. There is no proper study time in the school. I can understand that they do not want to force the kids in the studies at that early age, but I think if the child in kindergarten you expect little better results from the school as well as from the child as compare to any other public school.

The individual teachers that my daughter had in the 3 and a half years at the school were all wonderful, but the administration was poor. The communication between the administration and the home was lacking, and we were often 'blown off' when we went to the administrators with concerns. The building

The administration speaks of the 'family' of the Hudson community, but unless you are part of a select group of parents, you are excluded from that family. Read less

If you are looking for a strong foundation for your child its a best place. If you are looking for a day care this is not a place for you. You have to give atleast a month before you give up on a school. It worked out great for my daughter who is in the school for more than 6 years.

Hudson Country Montessori was a huge disappointment for our family. I am familiar with preschools as my children have attended childcare centers since infancy. The toddler program was mismanaged and teachers seemed unhappy. The staff was overwhelmed, and there was a lack of individual attention.
... Read more I was present at the school from 9am-3pm daily, observing the classroom. Children would cry and be left unattended. If one teacher was comforting a crying child, that left 15 kids for the remaining 2 teachers. On the 4th day, I walked into the classroom, and was told that my child could only attend 1 hr because she cries too much. The teacher didn't inform me the day before, so that I could make arrangements. After 3 days, I disenrolled and found another school. Read less
