Mountain Way Elementary School

My experience as a parent at Allegro School has been extremely positive. The teachers are very dedicated and focus on the development of each child, both academically and emotionally. The atmosphere at the school is warm and welcoming, making the children feel safe and comfortable. The curriculum is modern and tailored to the individual needs of the students, which makes my child excited to participate in class. Communication with teachers and school staff is very efficient, and I can always rely on their support. I am grateful for all the initiatives that help develop my children's passions and prepare them for the future.

I recently attended an event for the Red Oaks School and I was reminded of the many years our family spent at this fantastic school. Our family's experience at the Red Oaks School was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment our children walked through the doors at age three until they graduated from 8th grade, the school was a beacon of academic excellence, personal growth, and community spirit. Today, our children are well-rounded, confident, and academically strong students at Northeastern University. Their success is a testament to the exceptional education they received at Red Oaks and the critical thinking skills, work ethic, and passion for learning that were nurtured from a young age.

Sending my daughter to Apple Montessori of Morris Plains was the best choice we have made in her young life so far. This school has significantly contributed to my daughter’s early learning and development. At the heart of the classroom are her dedicated educators: Mrs. Rasdell, Mr. Wagner, Mrs. Platt, Ms. Docherty and Mrs. Llanos – who bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to the classroom each day. The Montessori approach to learning has nurtured my daughter’s curiosity and independence, equipping her with both academic foundations and vital life skills such as cooperation, respect, and self-discipline. The long tenure of teacher Mrs. Rasdell at the school speaks volumes about the stability and enduring values upheld here. She, along with the rest of the staff, including the great administrators Ms. Rathjens and Ms. Yun, make sure everything runs smoothly and that the kids are happy and safe.I trust this team immensely with my daughter’s education and well-being. The growth I have witnessed in her—academically, socially, and personally—is a testament to the effective and nurturing environment they provide. I am confident that this school is not just teaching her what to learn, but crucially, how to learn.I wholeheartedly endorse this school. It's a place where kids truly thrive, supported by a team that really cares about them.
