The Westmont Montessori School is located at 577 Route 24 in Mendham. It offers the Montessori method of education, which ‘fosters children to build upon their own successes, thus building a foundation for future exploration and a love of learning’. Their focus is on fostering a child’s self esteem and independence, with each child progressing at their own developmental level.

The program has been in operation in Mendham since 1964, but moved locations twice before settling in their current facility on Route 24. The building is beautiful, light filled and spacious, with two levels of classroom and activity space, as well as two large areas for outdoor play. In addition to the traditional preschool program, Westmont offers many enrichment programs, such as Movement, Spanish, Music, Science, Art and Cooking. There is also an Extended Day program for parents looking for extra time. A new program being offered is ‘Montessori & Me’ for children 18 months and up.

Westmont is having an Open House on January 23, 2010 from 10:00am-12:00pm. They also offer private tours of the facility. Check out their website by clicking here or give them a call at 908-879-6355.
