Parent Community
We Grow Best When We Grow Together
Our school thrives because of the connection between home and classroom. Whether you are volunteering at a celebration or sharing a family tradition with your child’s class, your presence matters.
Together, we are building more than strong learners—we are building a community of caring, confident, and connected individuals.
A Community That Grows Together
At Montessori School of Miami Shores, we believe that education is a shared journey—one that includes not only children and educators but also families. Our school is more than a place of learning; it is a community built on trust, respect, and connection.
From the very first day, families are welcomed into a warm, inclusive environment where their voices matter and their presence is valued. We recognize that parents are a child’s first teachers, and we strive to create strong partnerships that support every stage of a child’s growth.
Celebrations & Shared Moments
Throughout the year, we invite families to join us for meaningful moments that strengthen the home-school connection. These celebrations showcase the children's progress and creativity while honoring the unique culture of our community.
Some of our favorite traditions include:
- Family Fun Day – A lively event for the whole school community to gather, play, and build connections—especially welcoming for new families.
- Pumpkin Parade – A playful fall event that brings imagination and joy to life.
- Open House – A special evening for children to share their classroom experiences with pride.
- Winter & Spring Celebrations – Seasonal gatherings that bring warmth and togetherness through music, crafts, and community spirit.
- Be the Child Night – A hands-on experience where families explore Montessori lessons and view presentations at all program levels.
- Cultural Events – Celebrations such as Chinese New Year and Multicultural Week highlight the rich diversity of our school and foster global understanding.
- Family Fun Day – A lively event for the whole school community to gather, play, and build connections—especially welcoming for new families.

Parent Initiative Group: Powered by Community
At the heart of our school’s success is a strong partnership with our families—and our Parent Initiative Group plays a key role in that connection. This group brings parents together in meaningful ways, helping to coordinate school events, offer support to classrooms, and create opportunities for building community spirit.
Whether you are helping plan a school celebration, volunteering in the classroom or garden, organizing a parent gathering, or simply lending your voice to support school initiatives, your involvement makes a difference.
We believe that a connected community creates a joyful place to learn and grow. Through our Parent Initiative Group, families find friendship, purpose, and the opportunity to contribute in ways both big and small.
