Keyport, NJ

At Marlboro Montessori Academy, our Toddler Program welcomes children as young as 18 months from Keyport and the surrounding area into a nurturing, structured environment. This stage is all about discovery, and we create a safe space where toddlers can explore with confidence while developing independence.

Through purposeful, hands-on experiences, toddlers begin to strengthen fine and gross motor skills, expand sensory awareness, and build the foundations of early language. Our dedicated teachers gently guide each child, encouraging curiosity while fostering patience, focus, and social interaction.



Daily activities include age-appropriate puzzles, art projects, and music, along with introductory practical life lessons such as pouring, sorting, and caring for their environment. These experiences not only spark joy but also prepare toddlers for the next steps in their Montessori journey.

Our Preschool Program provides children from Keyport and nearby communities with a thoughtfully structured setting where early academics come to life. At this stage, young learners are eager to absorb knowledge, and we guide them through hands-on lessons that introduce the building blocks of math, language, and science in an engaging way.

Using authentic Montessori materials, children explore concepts at their own pace, transforming abstract ideas into concrete understanding. The classroom is designed to spark curiosity, encourage independence, and build confidence as children move toward kindergarten readiness.



Equally important, our preschoolers grow socially by learning how to share, collaborate, and problem-solve with their peers. Each day, they not only strengthen academic foundations but also develop the joy of discovery that makes learning a lifelong adventure.

Our Kindergarten Program provides children from Keyport with a strong academic foundation while nurturing the independence and confidence they need for elementary school. Each day blends essential subjects—reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies—into interactive lessons that encourage curiosity and exploration.

Because every child learns at a unique pace, our teachers adapt instruction to match individual strengths and needs. This approach not only builds critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also helps children develop focus and resilience.



Beyond academics, students enjoy enrichment through art, music, and physical education, ensuring a well-rounded experience. By the end of kindergarten, children are prepared both academically and socially for the transition into elementary school, carrying with them a love of learning that lasts well beyond the classroom.

At Marlboro Montessori Academy, our Elementary Program guides Keyport students through the crucial first years of formal education, building a strong academic and social foundation. Rooted in Montessori philosophy, the program empowers children to take an active role in their learning, fostering independence, curiosity, and responsibility.

The curriculum spans essential subjects such as mathematics, language arts, science, geography, and history, presented in ways that make abstract concepts meaningful and accessible. Students explore topics through hands-on lessons and creative projects, allowing them to see connections between subjects and apply knowledge to the real world.

Children work both independently and collaboratively, strengthening focus while also developing teamwork and communication skills. The classroom environment is structured yet flexible, designed to adapt to different learning styles and encourage every child to progress at their own pace. This approach not only prepares students for future academic success but also instills confidence and a lasting love of learning.
