Licensed by the State of New Jersey

Mindful Montessori is a WOSB

I have been fortunate to teach and direct Montessori schools around the world, including Canada, England, and the USA, for over 20 years. It has always been my dream to open my own Montessori school. At Mindful Montessori Old Tappan, we are committed to providing a nurturing educational environment for children.

 

I hold a Montessori certification from Montessori Center International in London, England, for children ages 3-6, and an American Montessori certification from the Center for Guided Montessori Studies in Sarasota, Florida. Additionally, I have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and a NJ certification in Special Education from Montclair State University.

 

I live with my family in Ridgewood, NJ. We have 3 lively children, and 2 large dogs.

​

I look forward to meeting your family and sharing my passion for Montessori education.

Mindful Montessori is a beautiful carefully prepared environment designed to balance freedom and structure.
At Mindful Montessori School, we continuously strive to provide a welcoming and inviting learning experience by following the Montessori method of education.
"We’ve been part of Mindful Montessori since it opened—our oldest started there, and we were so blown away we kept her through kindergarten and couldn’t wait to enroll our younger child. This is not a daycare; it’s a deeply personalized, top-tier educational experience. The educators are not only fully trained in the Montessori method—they are inspiring, compassionate, and the best role models we could hope for. The director’s warmth, thoughtfulness, and attention to detail are unparalleled. It truly feels like a second family, where every child is known, supported, and empowered to thrive."    Bella G
