We have had two children attend multiple years of school and summer camp at PCDS. The teachers are fantastic and the facilities are great. The kids love going to school there and the summer camp is wonderful. The teachers and staff are very focused on the children and their learning experience. The school is very good at communicating with the parents. We highly recommend it.

My daughter has attended this school in Closter since she was 2 1/2. We have truly loved the experience here and the staff. My daughter loves going to school and in the summer the camp. She is learning so much and I know she is in good hands. This year we are in the upper school where she is becoming very independent and she is learning so much. She is talking to me about letters and numbers, science and now she is even learning cooking after school. We are so happy we chose this school to send our daughter.
