The Montessori Approach
“The hand is the instrument of human intelligence.”
— Maria Montessori
At Montessori School of Miami Shores, we believe learning should be joyful, purposeful, and rooted in respect for each child’s unique rhythm. Montessori education gives children more than knowledge—it gives them space to grow into themselves. With freedom to explore, guidance from thoughtful teachers, and an environment designed just for them, children develop confidence, curiosity, and compassion that lasts far beyond the classroom.
Because childhood deserves more than a race to the next grade.
A Home for Your Child
Our school is not just a place to learn—it’s a home where your child is seen, valued, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. Every classroom is intentionally designed to spark wonder, independence, and meaningful engagement, laying the foundation for academic growth and emotional resilience.
Whole-Child Development
Montessori is an education of the mind, heart, and hands. From the earliest years, children are supported in becoming self-motivated, respectful, and responsible individuals. Through hands-on learning and real-world skills, students build the focus, creativity, and inner discipline they need to thrive in life—not just in school.
Learning with Purpose
Children are naturally driven to understand their world. The Montessori approach nurtures that instinct with carefully sequenced materials, multi-age classrooms, and freedom within limits. Teachers guide—not lecture—allowing learning to unfold through discovery, repetition, and connection.
A Community Rooted in Respect
We are a diverse, inclusive community where every child is encouraged to contribute, collaborate, and care for one another. Lessons in grace and courtesy are part of daily life. Our students learn not only how to share space—but how to listen, lead, and live with empathy.
Prepared for the Future
Montessori students leave our school with more than academic readiness. They carry with them the ability to think critically, solve problems creatively, and meet the world with confidence, kindness, and a sense of purpose.
Choosing Montessori means choosing a path that honors who your child is—while helping them discover all they can become.
