Our School
Rooted in Montessori, growing with purpose since 2005.
“Whoever touches the life of a child touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs toward the infinite future.”
— Maria Montessori

Reviews
"Our 7 year old son started at Miami Shores Montessori School when he was 2.5 years old. We cannot emphasize enough what an absolutely amazing school this is! The teachers are great and the director knows how to run a school that encourages children to thrive. Our son has had great academic achievements as well as grown emotionally through the years. The teachers have been able to individualize his lessons so that he enjoys learning and have taken him to his utmost potential. The school community is also extremely caring and nurturing. We are forever grateful!"

"We have had an amazing experience at Miami Shores Montessori. Our daughter joined the school at 18 months and has now been there for six years. She is learning so much as the teachers are exceptional. Most importantly, our daughter is an extremely happy girl and a big part of that has been the love the teachers have shown her and the friends she has made at the school. Our experience has been wonderful."
