We want to foster an academic environment that encourages our students to learn by exploring and asking questions. Our curriculum is built on a foundation of academics and play.
The Facility
Being an early education center built in a COVID world, our brand new facility was designed with our Little Ivies’, community, and staff health and safety as our #1 priority. Our innovative HVAC system and iWave generators are designed to optimize both air purification and ventilation, providing a premium level of air quality. To ensure the safety of our students and faculty, our classrooms are designed with their own exit door. Students are dropped off and picked up directly to their classrooms allowing minimal to no interaction with students from other classrooms.

The Waldo School project came to life when two friends came together because they could not find a school in the area that followed their educational philosophy for their children.
Located in the heart of the Waldo section of the Jersey City Waterfront, The Waldo School sets the standard for leading private education. By adopting and developing a highly innovative curriculum, our students are encouraged to explore and flourish while discovering and developing new talents. Their students are inspired to grow as individuals, with no child forced to ascribe to one specific mold, through equal emphasis on all disciplines and opportunities to explore concepts at his or her own pace.

Where: Luna De Papel: 321 Communipaw Ave, Jersey City
About Luna De Papel:
In a world where everyone is increasingly used to working with electronic devices, at Luna de Papel they take a step back and focus on practical life skills that teach an appreciation for handcrafts. Children today are used to instant gratification, this can stifle the ability to strive for long-term goals. Handcrafts take commitment but they teach children that they can achieve great things if they take them one step at a time. At Luna de Papel, they teach children how to “create”. When they learn to create, they know that they can control their environment, which builds tremendous self-esteem. Their goal is to build self-esteem through more approachable, authentic, and sustainable self-expression than simple art.

A Day Out With Thomas
Day Out With Thomas is a family event that offers children and their grownups the opportunity to ride with classic storybook friend Thomas the Tank Engine. Parents, grandparents, and siblings join their aspiring engineers in the fun.
The Day Out With Thomas experience will engineer miles of smiles for the whole family and introduce a new generation to the timeless excitement of railroading. The train pulled by Thomas leaves every hour on the hour, from 10 am to 5 pm. You may also ride the River Train along the scenic Delaware River to Carpentersville, New Jersey. For an added adventure take the River Train to the Susquehanna Mine, learn the History, and learn how to pan for Gem Stones that you can take home! The trips pulled by Thomas take you along the beautiful Delaware River to North Carpentersville New Jersey, a 25-minute ride. The River Train follows the same route journeying further along the river to Edinger’s with a brief stop at the “Old Susquehanna” gemstone mine. At the mine, you may get off, visit the mine, and learn how to pan for gems. Each passenger receives a bag of mine tiling’s, a brief history of the mine, and use of the sluice to prospect for their very own gemstones they can bring home!
You may also purchase tickets on the day of the event for all trains although we advise that you purchase your tickets in advance. Trains to and from the mine depart every hour. Stay at the mine as little as an hour or as long as you like! Read more about the event here.
