At Palisades Country Day School, the stated mission is to create a nurturing and family-oriented environment where every child is encouraged to develop and grow at their own pace, in a loving atmosphere built on trust where each child feels valued and supported in reaching their full potential, with personalized care and engaging experiences that inspire lifelong learning and cultivate a sense of belonging, empowering children to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. The Fort Lee campus was established in 1965, and the Closter campus was established in 1993. The school is the only one consistently honored as the #1 Preschool and #1 Daycare in Bergen County.
One parent, Katie K., shares that her child’s love of learning and passion for art and music is in large part due to daily experiences at the school, and that their goal for their child to enjoy going to school every day has been accomplished. Another parent, Carla G., notes that this is her fourth child at Palisades Preschool and describes it as a beautiful, nurturing place where all her children have learned a lot and developed a love of school, and she expresses sadness that this is their last year there. Parents Frank and Lourdes G. state that they have bestowed all of their trust in Palisades Preschool, feel that the school has exceeded all expectations, and describe this trust as the greatest compliment they can give.
