We moved to Montclair half way through the school year and needed to find everything. PSA was a godsend. Our kids (17 months apart) found a community there and so did we. The parents were so welcoming and supportive and the administrators made everything easy. Now that our youngest is leaving, it's bittersweet to go, but we know the community will last. And PSA prepared our kids so well for their next academic hurdles. We couldn't speak more highly of the school.

This school has a lot of heart. Our son had a wonderful experience and he (and we) made great friends!

My twins started at PSA right their 3rd birthday. Until then, because of COVID and waitlists etc, they had both been home full time with a nanny. Needless to say I was worried about their transition out of the home into a school setting. Remarkably, on their first day of camp (and every day thereafter), they walked right in and started their day with no tears. I credit that 100% to the amazingly fun environment and warm teachers who make going to camp/school a fun and non scary place. Since that first summer we have done two more summers and two full school years. Our twins have learned so much academically and socially. The amount of knowledge my kids have bestowed upon me from what they learned at school is astonishing- from facts about Georgia o’keefe to insects facts to music theory (mom do you know what forté means? LOUD!), it’s truly amazing (in addition to their abcs and math of course). Socially, they thrived as well. Making incredible bonds with their teachers as well as the other children. We are certain that we have all made some lifelong friends from being at PSA and it has been incredible to see both my kids grow their confidence over the years and enjoy the gift of friendship and community. As we make our transition to kindergarten and leave PSA, it is bittersweet to leave the community of parents, teachers and kids that have made the last few years so rich and special. Highly recommend PSA for anyone looking for wonderful place to start their school journey and also find a place within the community. Thank you PSA, we love you!

My family and I have had the absolute pleasure of sending our children to PSA for the past four years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this incredible school. From the moment we first stepped through the doors, we knew we had found a nurturing and enriching environment for our kids.Located in the heart of Montclair, PSA is a true gem in the community. What sets this preschool apart is its unwavering commitment to the growth and development of every child who walks through its doors. It definitely fosters a family environment.The teachers and staff are exceptional. They treat every child with love, respect, and individualized attention. It's evident that they genuinely care about the well-being and success of each student.The school is always clean, secure, and well-maintained. We are very pleased with their response to the pandemic and sent our kids back with ease. Additionally, the classrooms are filled with age-appropriate toys, books, and materials that encourage exploration and creativity. My little ones loved the imagination play!If you are looking for a preschool that values your child's growth, happiness, and overall well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend Park Street Academy. It truly is a place where families become part of a loving and supportive community. Thank you, PSA, for four amazing years, and for laying the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success for our children.

Many years ago, we had our children (daughter and son), enrolled at Park Street Academy (PSA). As a new mother who had arrived from NYC with my family, excited to embrace the suburban culture. I had blown up expectations of what preschoolers needed to learn and made comments without completely understanding the day to day realities of running a preschool and keeping such a young population safe.PSA has remained open, contributing to the community because it is an authentic learning and nurturing environment first, and business which strives to keep it’s promise to safe guard children as parents and caregivers run other aspects of our lives.I am grateful to have stopped by the school recently to share my gratitude and respect for what they do.

Both of my daughters have attend PSA for the past three years and we have had a fantastic experience. Firstly, in my experience, there is an extremely limited number of preschools in the area that offer full-time care and PSA is one of them. The curriculum is play-based and grounded in "The Nurtured Heart" model, which means it's all about building empathy and compassion in the kids. The facilities convey a heart warming sense of community, which is obviously a core value of the organization. As stakeholders, have always felt seen and heard by the administration. Most importantly though, the PSA teachers are incredibly caring and devoted to their important roles in the children's lives. It shows up in everything they do; from the authentic joy on their faces when they greet the kids each morning to the loyalty with which they hold these positions for many many years, to the way they address us during their extremely informative bi-annual parent / teacher conferences. The teachers at Park Street Academy truly care and that makes all the difference.
