Founded in 2022, Honeypot Montessori is Newark’s first nature-based Montessori school, where children ages 2.5–6 can explore, discover, and grow in a joyful, culturally-affirming environment. By blending authentic Montessori teachings with nature-based experiences, we nurture curiosity, independence, and resilience, helping children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our 4,283 square-foot facility, thoughtfully designed and recently renovated, houses classrooms, a Nature Learning Lab, and a Family Resource Library. Honeypot Montessori is also a lab school in partnership with Rutgers University–Newark, ensuring that every program we offer is research-backed and innovative. Beyond our core curriculum, we offer parent education workshops, community programming, and enrichment experiences, creating a vibrant hub for families and children to learn, connect, and flourish.
