From the moment we contacted Montessori Ivy League to schedule a tour to the moment we decided to…read moremove our son to a different school, we had such an overwhelmingly positive experience with the entire staff. The enrollment process was like none we had ever experienced before. They offered us an observation where our son went to the classroom for the teacher to get an understanding of his current level of functioning then we also had an opportunity to speak with a current parent of another student who was very helpful. The teacher is amazing and we saw the difference in our son at home. He came home showing us that he learned how to peel an orange himself and he became more independent overall. The only reason we decided to leave is thw distance. We live in Dania Beach and with the traffic and school zones in the morning, too much time was being taken for traveling. Otherwise, we would happily keep our son enrolled. We love Ms. Salma and her entire staff who are highly professional.

We watched in the lobby camera as she got in line to walk from one room to the next, went to her spot in circle time, and sat/participated as needed. Its not just her, the other kids behave the same and that tells you it's not just her or an accident. The school has an effective system that works. She comes home repeating alphabet songs english and spanish. During visits she takes us around to different stations. MILA does a fantastic job of giving latitude to the kids interests while providing boundaries and structure. 10/10 would recommend.

I would strongly advise others to think twice before enrolling in this school. My experience was…read moreextremely disappointing and concerning. Communication is a major issue-most of the teachers do not speak English fluently, my husband is always upset because, the teacher has to use Google Translate to give him report for our son. Even more troubling is the way students are treated. There is a clear sense of bias and unfair treatment, especially toward darker-skinned students. It creates an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment where not everyone feels respected or valued. My son was 18 months old and the teacher Daniella would call me several times a week to te me to pick him up because he refuses to sit he refuses to take a nap (he is a baby!). I was paying $1600 per month, and they treated my family unfairly as if we weren't a paying customer. They don't care about teaching ! They only care about getting paid! they are scamming people. A school should be a place where all students feel safe, supported, and included. Unfortunately, that has not been the case here. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a positive and fair learning environment.

Our son Jack has been part of the Montessori Institute of Broward community since he was two years…read moreold, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. The school truly nurtures independence, curiosity, and confidence in its students. Over the years we've watched Jack grow not only academically but also personally, developing strong communication skills, responsibility, and a genuine love of learning. One of the most special opportunities recently was his participation in the MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) conference in New York. Seeing students represent their schools and countries on an international stage at such a young age speaks volumes about the quality of education and encouragement they receive at Montessori Institute of Broward. The leadership at the school is exceptional. Ms. E, the principal, creates a warm, supportive environment where students feel valued and inspired. She truly leads with heart and vision. Jack's Grade 4 teacher, Ms. Kay, has also been outstanding--patient, dedicated, and deeply invested in her students' growth. She challenges them academically while also nurturing their confidence and character. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and inspiring school community. Montessori Institute of Broward has played a huge role in shaping Jack into the curious, confident young person he is becoming. Luke aged 5 is also thriving at MIB and i cant wait to see how he progresses.

I recently inquired about enrolling my child at this daycare and was disappointed with my…read moreexperience. When I contacted the front office, I was told they would not provide any information unless I scheduled a tour. As a working single mom with limited availability, it is very difficult to commit to an in-person visit without first knowing basic details such as tuition, program structure, and availability. I have never encountered a policy where absolutely no information could be shared prior to booking a tour. It felt unreasonable to expect parents to invest time away from work without confirming whether the program would even be a good fit financially or logistically. After reading other reviews, I noticed similar comments about the school being very "private." While I understand and appreciate maintaining security and privacy for the children, there should still be transparency and open communication with prospective parents. Feeling informed and included is essential when making decisions about our children's care and education. Unfortunately, the lack of openness made the environment feel unwelcoming rather than inviting. I would have loved the opportunity to explore becoming part of their community, but first impressions matter -- especially when it comes to our children.

The teachers and staff have created a place where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to learn and grow. Since our daughter started here, we've seen amazing development in her communication, confidence, and social skills. She talks about her teachers and classmates with so much joy, and it's clear she feels loved and understood at school. I also really appreciate the way the school keeps parents involved. Whether it's updates, events, or just a simple check-in, we always feel connected to what's happening in her classroom. We're truly thankful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter's early education. We couldn't have chosen a better place for her to begin her learning journey.

I cannot express enough how wonderful Pine Island Montessori has been for our family. My son has…read morebeen attending since he was 12 weeks old, and my daughter since she was two.

Sadly, as we are moving, today is their last day at Pine Island Montessori, and we are going to miss it tremendously. Thank you, Pine Island Montessori, for creating such a loving and nurturing environment for our children!

We withdrew our child when our child told us Ms. Peggy (teacher of the blue room) spanked our child and the other students in the class. She SPANKED our kid very hard. Our child told us she especially spanks the younger kids in class. My child told me there was a young boy that get punished (spanked) several times throughout the day because he doesn't listen well. Not only she put her hands on our child she told our child to keep it a secret because she would also punish the parents if the kid was to tell. Our child also mentioned the assistant arguing and yelling at Ms Peggy for spanking students. The school has cameras in each classroom. The school administrators have to know Ms.Peggy spanks kids. She is a horrible person. I am glad my child was able to tell me. It would kill me if my child never told me. If you love your kid DO NOT consider this school!!! The world is already a crazy place. School should be a safe zone and I hope no parents have to ever experience what we been through. We are putting this horrific event behind us. We just wanted parents to know about the school!! You been WARNED!!!! Don't take a chance or any risk when it comes to your kids!!!

We will forever remember all the memories made in this school! During his last year, we enrolled him Superhero sports (basketball) and SuperHero swimming with Coach Ivan. He is incredibly talented and has an upbeat positive energy and the kids love him. My son did a total of 3 months of swimming with Coach Ivan and he had him swimming by the end of 2 months. My son has skin allergies and sensitivity so the chlorine in the pool can be very harsh. However the pool and chlorine level in the Cambridge pool is treated well so that is is not so damaging for the skin. We are so grateful Ivan helped him overcome his fears and helped him be confident swimmer in the water! Needless to say my son absolutely loves Coach Ivan! We love Cambridge and everyone in their team!
