For our final week of Summer Camp, Little Schoolers found their magic lamps and took a trip with Jasmine and Aladdin on a magic carpet ride! Campers journeyed to the great Sahara and explored the mystical Arabian Desert. Our camp transformed into a royal palace as we went in search of hidden treasures. Little School of Waldwick Campers had a special Story Time visit from two of our wonderful alumni, Marlie and Taylor! We used our magic carpets to travel in search of jewels and gold and even had a visit from Princess Jasmine!

1, 2, 3 come and sing along with see! During our Music with Elmo week, Little School of Waldwick campers learned that Elmo has a family and so do musical instruments! We made our own musical instruments and played together in The Little School band with a visit from Cookie Monster and his Sesame Street crew!
Little School Campers even participated in a child focus group run by Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit organization behind Sesame Street and more! Sesame Workshop travels all over to gain insight from child audiences to better their content and interview their target demographic. As an award-winning preschool, The Little School of Waldwick was the only school chosen in New Jersey and our campers were the lucky subjects!

Ahoy Maytees! Join us in looking back at this fun filled pirate and mermaid adventure, or walk the plank! We had a blast for this under the sea fantasy as we swam with mermaids. Our little scallywags were on the hunt for buried treasure with their telescopes in hand! Campers climbed aboard The Little School Pirate Ship with a real Pirate for some adventure on the high seas! Yo-ho me hearties, Let’s Go!

Grab you partner and do-si-do on down to The Little School Farm to see how much fun we had! Little School of Waldwick Campers were amazed to see The Little School transformed in to a Barnyard Bonanza! We learned how to milk a cow, explored animal sounds, planted crops, tasted our homegrown vegetables and much more farm fun! Campers took part in a milk taste test and graphed their favorite. We even had a visit from some barnyard friends with a live petting zoo at the end of our theme!

Oh say can you see… how much fun we had as we celebrated our nation’s Independence Day. Yankee Doodle rang through the halls as Little School of Waldwick campers sang their hearts out to a selection of classic patriotic tunes. The campers learned about Betsy Ross, the creator of the very first American flag, as well as the flag’s significance. We created a flag of our own, learned all about the Statue of Liberty and explored the symbols of America. We played games and even had a water balloon relay race! For our finale we marched in our very own patriotic parade!

On Wednesday, June 12th, students of our graduating class hosted a special Donuts with Dad event to celebrate Father’s Day. Students showed their dads how much they ROCK by singing special songs and creating projects with a Geology theme!
Graduates impressed their dads with their knowledge of Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks and layers of the earth. After the show, Dads and grads enjoyed donuts and other treats while playing construction-themed games together!
At The Little School, our Dads truly ROCK and we are so thankful to have them in our Little School family!

We had an absolutely wonderful day at the annual Little School of Waldwick Circus! The weather was beautiful, the children excited and ready, and all of you wonderful parents, family and friends gathered under the big top to watch the magic unfold.

On Friday, May 3rd, The Little School graduating class treated their mothers to an elegant brunch and performance.
Students sang songs filled with words of love for all their mothers to show their appreciation. Our students created special handmade hats and necklaces for the mommies to wear during the party. The walls were adorned with decorations made by the children, including a hand-drawn portrait of their mom! After their performance, students invited their mommy to sit while they served them muffins, fruit, cheese and crackers, and of course iced tea! A real treat for all of our hard-working, amazing Little School moms!
The Little School’s Director and educational staff strongly believe that there is an important connection between family and school, especially during the early years. As your child’s primary teacher and first educator, a parents role in their child’s early education is critical to their success!
Each year, we celebrate mothers at our Annual Mother’s Day Tea Party, a special event for students of our graduating class.

Our son entered The Little School in 2009 and as he graduated this spring, we could not be happier with how far he had come both academically and socially. When I first toured The Little School and met with the school director, Maria Stavrou, and her staff, I knew I came to the right place. Her passion for education, her enthusiasm and commitment to the children under her care, and her cheerful and warm personality truly permeates through the school and her wonderful teaching staff do mirror and…
My three children have all been students at The Little School and are so well prepared for elementary school that it almost seems as if they were home-schooled. In fact, Maria, the director, and the extraordinary teachers treat every single student with love and personalized attention which fortifies their strengths and gently addresses the needs of every child in each area where he or she requires a little extra help. Each teacher is carefully selected and trained by Maria. They all bring the s…
My two children attended the Little School of Waldwick. First of all, when I walked in I was amazed. The school looked like a country club for children ! It was colorful, big, with great play areas, both inside and out, and on top of everything else, it is immaculate ! The teachers are warm and very professional. The projects my children did at the school were amazing. They were so prepared for kindergarten, they could even read. This is THE place to take your children !
The Little School of Waldwick is a terrific school. The director, Ms. Marie is a wonderful person who is dedicated, caring and enthusiastic about creating a nuturing environment for children to learn and develop. The staff at the Little School are great with the kids. They are attentive and provide wonderful learning experiences. They offer many enrichment programs and fun activities for the kids to participate in. They make learning fun and exciting. My little boy is always so eager to go to sc…
We absolutely LOVE the Little School of Waldwick. I recommend this preschool to everyone I know. I have sent both of my children there and can not give everyone there enough praise. They are so loving and caring my children love going to school everyday and come home bragging about all of the wonderful things they have learned. My daughter went onto kindergarten with a huge advantage and it’s all thanks to The Little School. I know see my son following in her footsteps.
The Little School of Waldwick is the best nursery school out there. The director, Miss Maria does a super job with her program. Her children do all sorts of terrific projects as a group, like building a cave for polar bears while at the same time learning all about winter animals. She puts on grand show, like a circus at the end of the year and a mother’s day brunch. Once you walk into the school, you’ll see what I mean. It’s a spectacular place for kids. Love it.
We feel so fortunate to have discovered the Little School of Waldwick. What an amazing place. Our daughter has been there for 2 years and we do not want her to graduate! It is such a creative environment with multiple, themed rooms which the children circulate throughout each day – and the teachers and director Maria S. make every child feel so special and loved. We especially like the half-day and full-day options which make it a great place for working and non-working parents alike. And the su…
My daughter Katiya had gone to The Little School for 3 years and she LOVED it. She came home everyday and shared something new that she had learned. She had grown & matured so much within days, weeks, and months from the experience that, that school has taught her, it was AMAZING!!!! Maria and the staff have showed so much love to my daughter, they were like our extended family. I also loved the anatomy project. All the holidays that they taught the children was superb. I had tears in my eyes at…
The little school has changed are lives in so many ways,I could not believe all the different things they do for my son. From spelling and reading(that’s right reading and he’ just turned five) to all the little shows the kids put on for us. He all ways tells me about his teachers and the fun things they do together. makes me wish I went to a school like this when I was five, But even better my son gets to. Thank you little school!!
I agree the Little School is really “Bergen’s Best -Kept Secret”. This school is awesome, from the Mother’s Day Tea Party, Donuts With Dads(Father’s Day), the Circus Show, Movie Nights (1 night per month), Thanksgiving Show just to name a few. The teachers are very warm, loving and dedicated.The love and the attention that the children receive is wonderful. Go Little School!
