Cornerstone School of Summit

Cornerstone School is a nonprofit preschool in Summit, NJ, dedicated to providing high-quality early childhood education in a nurturing, play-based learning environment where children grow socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. Recently recognized as the Best Preschool in Summit for 2026 based on Google reviews from our families, Cornerstone School is proud to be a trusted part of the Summit community. We are also the first preschool in Summit to earn a Grow NJ Kids Quality Rating, New Jersey’s quality improvement and rating system for early childhood programs. This distinction reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence, professional development, family engagement, and research-based teaching practices. At Cornerstone School, we believe children learn best through hands-on exploration, meaningful relationships, creativity, and purposeful play. Our classrooms are designed to encourage curiosity, problem-solving, independence, and collaboration while helping children build confidence and a lifelong love of learning. What makes Cornerstone unique is our dedication to providing rich educational experiences that go beyond traditional preschool activities. Children engage in art, science, literacy, outdoor exploration, sensory experiences, technology integration, music, movement, and project-based studies that support the whole child. Our educators stay informed about the latest research in child development and early learning to ensure our program continues to grow and evolve in step with the needs of young children and families. Families consistently share that they value the warmth of our community, the dedication of our teachers, and the strong relationships built between home and school. Cornerstone School currently has limited openings available in our Preschool and PreK programs for Fall 2026. Financial Aid is available.

Guiding Smart Moves With Real Numbers and Strategy

Laura Deutsch - Realtor at Keller Williams

Buying or selling a home is a big decision, and it shouldn’t feel rushed, confusing, or transactional. I believe it should feel informed, intentional, and fully supported from start to finish. I’m a New Jersey–based real estate agent who specializes in helping buyers and sellers navigate today’s market with clarity and confidence. Many of my clients are families and professionals who know what they want next, but need help understanding how to get there strategically. Whether that means moving up, moving closer to town, or deciding if staying put actually makes more sense, my role is to guide you through real options using real data. What sets my approach apart is a focus on education and strategy. I don’t believe in pressure or one-size-fits-all advice. I take the time to understand your goals, walk you through the numbers, and help you evaluate decisions based on facts rather than assumptions. That includes collaborating closely with trusted local partners, from lenders to inspectors, so nothing feels like a guess. I’m deeply connected to the communities I serve and pride myself on knowing not just the market, but the nuances of each town, neighborhood, and lifestyle. My clients value honesty, responsiveness, and a process that feels thoughtful and organized. If you’re looking for a real estate experience that’s grounded, transparent, and tailored to how you actually live, I’d love to connect.
