The Montessori Classroom Environment Is Rich With Materials Uniquely Designed for Children
Based on years of scientific research, the Montessori classroom is an inviting space rich with materials and furniture uniquely designed for children. From the sinks to the toilets to the tables, all are made to fit your child perfectly, supporting your child’s developing independence and confidence.
Children Learn by Doing
Children are exposed to hundreds of specially designed materials that invite hands-on exploration. They will choose what they want to explore, creating strong neural pathways that contribute to the construction of a strong brain.
The Curriculum Adapts to Your Child
We recognize that children have their own unique timetable for development and will learn different parts of the curriculum when they are ready. We teach to the individual needs of your child, not to the entire class or to a group of children.
We Support Parents Too!
We take seriously the notion that children thrive when home and school work in harmony. To that end, we offer parent education throughout the year.
You’ll not likely find other programs that offer the same benefits. Here’s why:
Traditional School Programs Are Adult-Centered
The teacher or adult in charge of the classroom will decide what the classroom does and when. The child does not have any choice in how they would like to spend their time, and they will not get to explore their unique interests. Some children fall behind because of this model.
Lack of Highly-Trained Staff
Many schools do not require the same standards of training as Montessori institutions. Because of this, they often lack the in-depth understanding and knowledge of a young child’s developmental needs.
Developmental Needs Are Not a Priority
Many traditional models are focused on entertaining the child and filling time. They use toys and group activities to get through the day instead of focusing on the developmental learning needs of the child.
The Curriculum Is Not Adaptable
Many traditional school environments are not designed around how children learn best, nor do they take into account that all children learn differently and at their own pace.
Reviews
"I can not say enough great things about Miami Shores Montessori School. My daughter went there for 4 years and my son for a year until we moved to a different city in the spring of 2020. If you are looking for a school where teachers are top quality and genuinely care about students and their academic success, look no further. It is a beautiful oasis in the educational desert that is Miami. My kids are growing to be independent and well-adjusted individuals in many ways because of the education and values instilled in them by the teachers in Miami Shores Montessori School. Love this school!"
