Wow! There are so many good things I can say about this school. As someone who grew up going to Montessori schools, I stand behind the value of Quality Interactive Montessori School. A friend of mine has a daughter who attended this school and I went with her a few times to the school as well as their many activities that they host throughout the year. I was so amazed by the kind and welcoming atmosphere of this school as well as the teachers. The amount of time and effort they put into each individual child is astounding and so admirable. It’s so important to chose a school that prioritizes not only the success but the wellbeing and the safety of our children. As well as understands the importance of self development and building character in children and I can honestly say this school absolutely exceeds expectations on that. Great job you guys, keep up the hard work & we appreciate all that you do!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful Quality Interactive was for our daughter. We enrolled our daughter to begin at Quality Montessori upon returning to work after maternity leave. It was such a difficult transition made so much easier due to the amazing teachers in the infant program. Our daughter was constantly looked after and cared for - it wasn’t long until she burst out in to the biggest smile the second she saw her teachers every morning. If you’re looking for a school, look no further than Quality Interactive. You are in the best hands.

It is really a blessing that my sister found this Montessori school for my nieces, who are very shy. In no time at all it has been nice to see that they both were able to come out of their shells. I truly believe it is due to the homey environment and very caring staff. I am more than happy to listen to the girls tell me all the things they have learned about in school every day. Not only that, but I am also pleasantly surprised by how much their reading and comprehending skills have grown, as they are only in preschool. Thank you Quality Interactive Montessori, you have already made a positive impact on their lives.

Do you spending day and night looking for just the right school for your child? If you are reading this, your search is over! Everything about this school is exemplary. In every way, the staff goes above and beyond for kids. Above all, the school truly sees each and every child as a unique. They meet each student where they are, then nurture and grow them to be the very best they can be. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, the Head of School is hands on, and parents are welcomed. Our granddaughter absolutely delights in this school. WE delight in this school. It has made ALL the difference in her life.

We love this montisori for our two daughters! The teachers are amazing and they learn so much. It has made such a difference in their language and reading skills and they are only 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. We look forward to our son going here as well. The location is wonderful and provides a home like classroom/school. Would definitely recommend this school to any child from newborn to preschool!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Quality Interactive Montessori (QI). We had our son there and I found that every teacher we interacted with was not only very knowledgeable, but extremely caring and dedicated to ensure each child succeeded. Love you Ms. Kathy and Ms. Pam!!!!
Tina Kelly
We LOVE Quality Interactive Montessori. Our daughter has been going to the 56th street location for almost 3 years. Pam is an excellent leader and has built an amazing school with an exceptional staff. Our daughter has grown so much in the time that she has been at QI. She loves going everyday and has built so many friendships. We can't thank Pam, Ms. Patty, Ms. Amy and the rest of the staff for all that they do for our daughter. I HIGHLY recommend QI!

Center Director

Meet Our Director

Hello! I’m Jen Magli, an early childhood director with over 12 years of experience in nurturing young minds. My journey in education began with my passion for teaching, which led me to become Montessori trained. This method emphasizes child-centered learning, allowing children to explore and develop at their own pace, and I’ve found it to be incredibly rewarding to witness the joy and curiosity children exhibit as they discover the world around them.
 
As the director, I aim to create an enriching environment that fosters not only academic growth but also social and emotional development. I believe that every child has a unique set of skills and interests, and it’s my job to guide them in finding their passions while providing a solid foundation for their future. Over the years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with families, helping them navigate the early stages of their children’s education, and it’s a role I cherish deeply.
 
When I’m not at school, I’m busy being a mom to two wonderful kids and a wife to my supportive partner. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and I strive to bring the same kindness and dedication I show to my students into my home life. We love spending quality time together, whether it’s reading books on a lazy Sunday afternoon or heading out to the movies for some family fun.
 
In addition to my family time, I have a soft spot for coaching softball. It’s a great way for me to engage with my community and share my love for teamwork and sportsmanship with young athletes. Watching my players grow and improve, both on and off the field, fills me with pride and reinforces my belief in the importance of encouragement and mentorship.
 
Whether I’m working with children in the classroom, cheering from the sidelines, or cuddling up on the couch for a family movie night my goal is to inspire others and create a positive environment wherever I am. I’m excited to continue this journey, fostering a love for learning in my students and my children alike, and I’m always looking for new ways to connect, create, and contribute to the wonderful world of early childhood education.

Programs

Choosing a Montessori environment for your child has many benefits. Known for individually paced learning and fostering independence, the Montessori Method also encourages empathy, a passion for social justice, and a joy in lifelong learning. Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. They think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity. Learn more about our programs below:

Infants and Toddlers: (Ages 6 weeks- 3 years)

Montessori Infant & Toddler programs lay the foundation for lifelong learning by nurturing your child’s curiosity, self-confidence, and intrinsic desire to learn from birth. A Montessori environment offers so much more than childcare for the youngest learners.

Montessori Infant & Toddler programs offer a curriculum that emerges from each child’s unique skills and interests. Based on daily observations, teachers introduce new materials and activities that pique curiosity and stimulate learning. Learning objectives for your child at this age include developing skills such as language, concentration, problem solving, visual discrimination, and physical coordination.

Preschool (early childhood) ages 3-6

Montessori education is student-led and self-paced but guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable and caring teachers, the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.

Within the community of a multi-age classroom—designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability—children embrace multi-sensory learning and passionate inquiry. Individual students follow their own curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized learning goals.

Kindergarten

Kindergarteners are introduced to progressively more advanced Montessori materials and sophisticated, fascinating lessons. They experience an important period in which their previous learning from working with concrete Montessori materials begins to become permanent knowledge. A Montessori Kindergarten student sees and feels their personal growth as they watch others learn information, they have mastered themselves.

Kindergarten is the culmination of the Early Childhood program. Children exhibit the independence, critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership that they have been practicing during their previous years in the Early Childhood classroom, exercising them independently at their own pace, as they prepare to transition into an Elementary program.

Elementary

Our Montessori Elementary program empowers children to take greater ownership of their learning. Lessons are designed to spark curiosity and challenge each child at their individual level, blending academic rigor with opportunities for exploration and creativity. The curriculum integrates core subjects—language arts, mathematics, science, and cultural studies—with hands-on projects, collaborative problem-solving, and real-world applications. Students are encouraged to research topics of interest, present their findings, and engage in meaningful discussions that build communication skills and confidence. In this stage, children deepen their ability to think critically, manage their time, and work both independently and as part of a team. They grow into responsible, motivated learners who are prepared for the challenges of higher education and life beyond the classroom.
