On January 8 a district wide information session was held for the Mini-Mounties Pre-K program. It was well attended by Montclair families who came to the Wally Choice Center to hear from representatives of all providers about their locations who also were on hand to answer questions.
Montclair Public Schools is excited to announce the expansion of our Pre-K program for the 2025-25 school year. Funded by the NJ Preschool Expansion Grant, this initiative provides high-quality, free early education to eligible families. The program is designed to give Montclair children the best start in their educational journey offering classrooms at both in-district locations and through strong community partnerships.
For 2025-2026, Montclair Public Schools is partnering with five outstanding community providers—MCDC, MCPK, MSU, NICICC and YMCA, along with four district locations including DLC, Nishuane, CHB and Hillside. This expansion brings the total number of classrooms to 29, ensuring that Montclair families have access to a wealth of high-quality early education options.
