Our Learning Experience
Learning at Secret Garden Montessori is an exciting process of discovery, leading to concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a lifelong love of learning. A typical day at Secret Garden Montessori begins with a three-hour uninterrupted work period, during which time the children are free to concentrate on activities of their choosing. The children spend part of each day outdoors and when weather permits, bring their lessons outdoors.
Our History
Secret Garden Montessori has its roots in
a home-based cooperative founded in 2006
by a group of families in the Delaware River Valley. In January 2010, we were delighted to open our doors in Frenchtown, NJ. We have expanded our classroom space twice since 2010 and continue to grow.
