Take a peek at all of the fun students had during Orientation! Seeing old friends and meeting new ones, Little School of Waldwick students had a blast on the playground, in the play room, using paint, making colorful creations and much more!
We are off to a great start and cannot wait for the fun and learning in the year ahead! Follow the link for more fun photos:
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.
We had ringmasters, tight rope walkers, lion tamers, silly seals, dazzling dancers, acrobats and so much more! We loved sharing these wonderful preschool activities with you all and creating all these special memories together.
Below are some photo highlights from the day! Enjoy!

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.

The Little School was an extension our family. Not only did they always feel loved, they were challenged to try new things. They developed a love for learning that cannot be replaced. My favorite story is the anatomy project. At 5, the entire class created paperbag “bodies” with a set of lungs, stomach and bladder, veins, etc. made of plastic bags and strings. They could blow in a straw and make the lungs blow up or drop a nickel down to the stomach. One day in the summer, the kids were playing …
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…
Any parent would be lucky to find The Little School of Waldwick for their child. Having experienced another preschool with my oldest child (now at TLS) I now know that not all preschools are created equal. For my children, TLS has been an amazing environment — a day of flowing through theme-based classrooms leaves little room for toddler distractions and the children come away with real learning experiences that set a crucial foundation for the future. The teachers are incredibly caring, enthusi…
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!
My daughter attended the Little School of Waldwick and they are great. My daughter has a learning disability and Miss Maria was great with her. She improved so much and did great when she moved onto kindergarten. Thank you Little School of Waldwick !
My granddaughters are both very bright but were immature at the time that they were ready to go to pre-school. After their first year at the Little School they were not only even brighter-but they had matured incredibly. The teachers did a wonderful job. They are very gentle with the kids and readily praise them. The projects and art work that I see sent home are just wonderful. This is a very creative environment which is evident the moment you walk through the front door!
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 provides a terrific education to young children. The director, Miss Maria is so involved with the education of each child. My son learned so much in the 2 year she was there. the teachers are wonderful too.
My twin girls are students at The Little School of Walkwick, and I can say that there are probably other pre-schools that are very good, there is no school that is better than The Little School. The owner and teachers ensure that each child learns globally as well as specifically depending on the child’s needs. The productions — thanksgiving show, winter show, and annual circus to name a few — provide the children with a wonderful learning experience and self-esteem. The learning environment is …
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…
