I m looking for preschool for my 2 yr old son in New jersey,USA?

Answer 1

the US system of education starts when a child is 5 years old, and the child starts Kindergarten (sometimes only 1/2 day), when they are 6 they go into first grade etc...

Elementary school is a term for Kindergarten though 5th (or sometimes 4th grade); Middle school is the term for 5th (or sometimes 6th) grade to 8th (or 9th) and High School is until 12th grade (entering at age 17). College (4 year comes after that).

So your 2 year old will not attend elementary school forr 3 years.

If you want you child to attend a sort fo school  that would be "Day Care", at age 4 they could enter "Pre-school". Both pre-school and day care are offered by private groups... The Government provides Schooling starting at kindergarten (for the most part)

Montessori is a teaching method. The standard method is taught at most elementary schools. Morissorri is just another way of teaching preshcool or kindergarden. (some people beleieve is it better for the very young (3-6 years old). However some montessori schools will not allow children who are still in diapers (nappys).

I think that your best option would be a yahoo seach, (like below) to find what would be possible.

Keep in mind there are waiting lists at some schools, talk to them early.
