Really warm staff, teachers are hands on and wonderful. This school is light years ahead of another private school we were at last year. There are always celebrations going on, the kids are involved in projects, plenty of outdoor time, the teachers stay in touch, and no drama!

We are very happy with Hopscotch Montessori. Teachers are amazing, with personalized approach to every single child. Jeff and Iryna (educational director and owner) always know what’s going on with every single child and always ready to help. Kids learn something new every day and we constantly get updates/pics from teachers. Overall the program is very well rounded. We highly recommend Hopscotch Montessori without any reservations.

Now that my youngest is enrolled, I can review Hopscotch. In my opinion, every other nursery I have toured is a day care, while Hopscotch is a school. My older son has learned valuable life skills and is learning to put himself into purposeful, independent and focused work. Even compared to the other Montessori programs I looked at, including a shiny new one downtown, the program here has exceeded my expectations. The teachers are devoted and hands on when needed. The protocols for learning align so wonderfully for children of this age range. The community is warm and unassuming, valuing our children over fund raising and position. From discipline approaches to team building, while working on the individual, I can not offer enough praise.

Hopscotch is a real, accredited Montessori school. The teachers have the expertise to guide the children through the work sessions using the amazing Montessori approach to education. Important to us, the teachers and staff are genuinely caring people that emphasize a respectful and peaceful environment that promotes learning, individual development and collaboration. Our daughter is excited to go to school everyday. We are blessed to be a part of the Hopscotch community.

My daughter has been at Hopscotch Montessori for almost 2.5 years and my son started this summer. We have loved our experience at the school. The teachers are engaging, warm and work as a team with you to ensure your child is learning the skills they need while also developing a love for learning. We toured a lot of schools on the UES and Hopscotch was our favorite by far. It is unpretentious, clean, organized and welcoming. Our nanny also sees the kids at the playground with the teachers during the day and has commented on how the teachers play and engage with the children while making sure to keep them safe. Overall, picking a preschool for your kids is a hard decision and we are happy that we picked Hopscotch.

Amazing school! My son is thriving because the teaching staff took the time to understand him and his needs. They are kind and giving and as a result, we could not be happier!

My daughter has been in Hopscotch Montessori for almost 2 years. Wonderful school with caring staff and knowledgeable teachers. Im constantly amazed by how much teachers and staff know about each student. Highly recommended!

Great, true Montessori school! Amazing and knowledgeable teachers, personalized approach to each child, great flexibility for parents. Weve been with Hopscotch for 2.5 year and could not be happier.

Both of our kids go to Hopscotch and we couldnt be happier. Everyone from Iryna to Jeff and our teachers have become a mini extension of our family. My wife and I are continually amazed at what our kids are learning and how independent and creative they have become over the last couple years of exposure to the Montessori philosophy.

We couldnt be happier with our decision to choose Hopscotch for our 2 year old. Our son needed more time to work on his separation anxiety, and the teachers (Justin, Marien, and Adrienne) and the administrative staff (Jeff, Iryna, and Tania) not only helped him in adjusting to his changing environment but also made sure he was happy and comfortable while doing that. They work/ed at his pace! We also get frequent pictures and videos of his daily schedule that help us in knowing about our childs day and activities. His vocabulary has erupted immensely and he has become more independent. In short, the teachers know that every child is different and adapt to a childs need/s. This school is really amazing if you are looking for something more than a daycare.

Great Montessori option right in the heart of Upper East Side. Much better than other pre-schools in the area. Its brand-new, priced right, with great staff. I highly recommend.

Our daughter has been with the school since the day Hopscotch opend. The faculty couldnt be more caring and patient with our little one who was transitioning to full time school. We rescinded applications and placements (along with deposit) to other more established schools in the UES, since our daughter felt comfortable here and it mattered so much for us to find a school willing to work with, and through, our daughters transition time. Shes now comfortably settled and has fun every day, and as working parents, we thoroughly appreciate the extended program which runs till 6 p.m. Thank you, Hopscotch staff, for your love, care and continued guidance to Baby Grace. Were forever grateful!!

Amazing place. Id definitely recommend it.

Great knowledgable stuff, love it
