This is a wonderful school. The principal is so nice and hard worker. My Daughter was in kindergarten last year with a awesome teacher Ms. El-Khatib. My daughter loves her.

Posted by a parent on 12/27/2019The new principal Ann Taylor is extremely rude. I was at work and unfortunately did not know it was a half a day because we never received my notice home. Either because my daughter was sick for two days last week or maybe she just left that folder at school. The new principal proceeded to take pare

They feel safe, their homeworks are challenging and they are able to bond and make significant relationships with their friends.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageRainbow Montessori in Clifton has been a blessing for our family. My children are not only learning—they are growing into confident, curious, and kind little humans because they are truly loved here. The teachers treat every child with patience, warmth, and genuine care, and it shows in the way my kids run into school every morning with excitement.Academically, the Montessori approach has helped them become independent and proud of their work. But what means the most to me is how safe and supported they feel. Their teachers celebrate their strengths, guide them through challenges, and make them feel seen and valued every single day.As a parent, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are in a place where they are both learning and deeply cared for. Rainbow Montessori has given my children the foundation and the heart to thrive, and I’m endlessly grateful for that.Other Review6mo ago - Northeast Christian Academy
