So we have created a private pre-school? is it just special ed/needs? and assuming it's in the Montrose bldg?

Since it came from the Special Ed parents list, I'm assuming that it is a special needs/inclusion preschool - perhaps similar to the Elli program they had a few years ago ??

Sorry, thought people knew about this. Here is a VillageGreen article with more info: http://villagegreennj.com/schools-kids/montrose-school-track-become-early-learning-center/

There has been absolutely no communication from the school district to residents of the neighborhood surrounding the school, regarding the potential impact of the school's opening on the neighborhood -- increased traffic, on-street parking, buses, etc., etc...

Is there space still available at this school for the 2015-2016 school year.

I have no idea..probably best to contact the district first thing tomorrow morning.
