Our Community and Promise
The Little School of Waldwick is more than a preschool — it’s a community built on trust, connection, and shared joy. For over 23 years, we’ve proudly served families throughout Waldwick, Ho‑Ho‑Kus, Ridgewood, Midland Park, Allendale, Saddle River, Upper Saddle River, Ramsey, and the surrounding towns. Our school has become a home away from home where children feel safe, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
At the Little School of Waldwick children are encouraged to explore and discover while playing which fosters problem solving, language development, imagination, and coordination.
Playing is crucial for a child’s emotional, physical and social development. Playing and learning happen simultaneously for young children and cannot and should not be separated. Play experiences lay the foundation for successful academic learning. Play is the work of little children.
Our teachers nurture each child as they gently encourage exploration in our exciting environment allowing them to explore and discover the world around them as they play and use language, math, science, art, movement, music, and their imagination.
