Hello! We are planning to move to the area early next year and are looking into the Montclair Mini-Mounties Pre-K program through the district. Our daughter is enrolled in a Spanish immersion preschool where we currently live and are hoping to keep her speaking Spanish in school.

I'd really appreciate any information from parents who have had kids go through the program.

- Waitlist / acceptance info?

- General experience?

- Transitioning from Mini-Mounties to Montclair Public Elementary Schools?

- Anything else we should know?

Thank you!

Thinking of moving to the area from Manhattan with my husband & infant. Not looking for any negative comments but more experiences from anyone who has made a similar move & why Montclair vs. other local suburbs. For reference, I'm fully remote but my husband has to commute into the city 5 days a week. TIA!!

Hi! We are moving to a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment near Watchung Plaza. Does anyone have a recommendation for a house cleaner we can have come about every other week? Appreciate it!

Hi all, I’m planning on building a new home in the area. I’m looking for recommendations for an architect, home builder, interior designer to help streamline the build process.

Thanks!

Hi all, my husband and I just moved to Montclair and I’m hoping for some recs for the following, I’m open to anywhere in the surrounding area not just in Montclair proper:

Italian Market
Seafood Store
Butcher
Favorite Pizza
Favorite Chinese Delivery

TIA!

Also today I learned places in the Montclair area are on Too Good To Go. Anyone have positive experiences to share?

I may try an Obagel to see what they give in a bag

They had delivered to the MC Montclair 20 pizzas from Bagels by Jarrett in West Orange; including one with peppers/onions/raw garlic/jalapenos.

Was this the move? Where could they have ordered from that's better? And judgement on the one custom pie I'd consider a monstrosity?

Hello, does anyone have any daycare selections in the Montclair/Bloomfield/Glen Ridge/Nutley area? Even if you have negative feedback, I'd appreciate it! I've asked Facebook groups but figure I should check Reddit too! Ideally, daycare should be near NYC transportations (bus or train) but priority is quality of care/environment.

I had read on Facebook fireworks in the area may already be cancelled. Anyone find any official announcement on this?

Does anyone know what TV / Movie may be filming over on Gates Ave? I’ve seen them there for a least a week now, was wondering what it is they’re filming

Every year it seems like the number of 4-way stops in town proliferates. I'll leave the efficacy of them to a different post, but I did want to mention the wide variance in driver behavior at a 4-way stop.

It seems unclear to a lot of people whom at the stop has the right-of-way. Depending on arrival time and where you are, right-of-way varies and can be confusing.

I put together a little infographic for how to handle different scenarios. Hopefully this helps demystify how to act.

There was a temporary no-parking restriction for a small community event, but we honestly didn't see the notice because a large SUV parked in front of us blocked our view. The event itself was small and our car wasn't blocking traffic.

The ticket is payable online, but I also have the option to request a virtual hearing. I called the court, and the clerk said that whether any court costs apply is ultimately up to the judge, although they generally don't see additional court fees for non-moving parking violations.

I'm mainly trying to understand the risk of contesting it. If the judge upholds the ticket, would I typically just pay the original $55, or are court costs commonly added in NJ (or specifically Montclair)?

Also, has anyone had a judge reduce or dismiss a first-time parking ticket under similar circumstances?

Thanks in advance!
