His teacher Ms Sujata is attentive and caring, she is brilliant at observing the child and providing just the right stimulation and support. She played a crucial part in building our son's confidence, developing his social skills, emotional intelligence and broadening his knowledge. She has given us plenty of great tips on how to support our son through various challenges. She is a professional you can trust every step of the way. I really appreciate that the school has a strong value system, so kindness and respect are truly FELT in the classrooms. My son is quite sensitive, so it was precious to have peace of mind and know that he feels safe at school. Last but not least, the school administration has been very responsive and forthcoming to meet all our needs. This kind of flexibility and personal approach is impossible to find anywhere else from my experience. I highly recommend Village Montessori to parents that are looking for excellent early education. It's a classic Montessori school with high standards, the teachers and director regularly advance their education, and we could see how the management are constantly striving to improve things - teachers training, free seminars for parents, events, classroom improvements, etc. We are really grateful to Village Montessori, Ms Sujata, Joan, Mike and the team for creating such a special community and experience during the formative years of our child's life!

You know what they say, when everything is great, not many people come on here to review. Well, as…read morefor me, I've had my daughter at the Montessori Garden since she was barely 18 months old. She has grown now and is almost ready to graduate from Ms. Belkis's class next year. First, let me start with the cleanliness of this school, which is very important to me. The care and love they have for the children are evident, and I'm not just speaking for my own. Even though I know she's the favorite... shhh, let me not say that out loud. lol. The routine and lessons have taught my daughter discipline, independence, and manners. She is in the Spanish-only class, which I feel is very important. She counts 1-15 in Spanish, knows all her basic colors, animals, and much more. She sings, dances, and is pretty much as happy as can be every single day. She loves her friends and visits the ones that have moved on to the bigger class. This is the best investment anyone can make for their kids. I love Ms. D, Ms. Belkis, Ms. Mayleni, and Ms. Isabel, and I also appreciate the other teachers as well. Love,

We are so grateful for our time at TMG. From the very beginning, they treated us like family…read more Always welcoming, kind, and genuinely loving toward my children. My kids thrived here and were truly cared for in every way. My son left this school not only potty trained, but also independent, confident, and full of grace and courtesy. Both of my children now greet others with a warm "good morning" or "hello," something that has carried over beautifully into their new school. I've even been told multiple times that they are model students, and I know without a doubt it's because of the love, hard work, and dedication poured into them here. My daughter also left this school reading and writing with confidence, speaking in such a mature and thoughtful way for her age. The foundation she received here continues to shine through in her new environment. As Montessori says, education is a partnership between teacher, parent, and child and this school lived that truth every single day. I could not have done it alone, and I'll forever be thankful for the foundation they gave my children.

After being in two other day cares in Brickell we finally found the best day care for my son…read more Champs is one of the best day care you can place your children. The teachers are amazing, the premises are clean, and the curriculum is very well designed. My son was an infant when he started, I finally had piece of mind when he was being there.

If you want the best for your kid, then this is the daycare for you…read more We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old at Champs, so we have become familiar with their different classrooms and teachers in the year or so we've been there. I don't want to knock the other daycares in Brickell because they are fine, we toured them all and even had the 4 year old in one for a while, but Champs is absolutely on a league of its own. The first thing I'd like to mention is that Champs will give your little one the most important thing they need in their lives at an early age, lots of love and affection. The teachers at Champs have become family to us, at this point it feels like I'm dropping off my kids at grandma's house where a team of loving aunts are waiting to pour affection on them while my wife and I are at work. Ms. Isabel does a fantastic job running the school, she's on top of absolutely everything, she's kind, thoughtful, prepared, hands-on, and intimately familiar with every child like they are her own. She's also constantly updating us and sharing pictures through the Dojo app. Ms. Cuca has been amazing at showering the girls with love and distraction those tough mornings when they are sad to stay at school. Ms. Ana, Ms. Yeni, Ms. Carmen, Ms. Lisandra, and Ms. Maria are spoken about in our home the way we speak about family, we are incredibly grateful to this fantastic team for taking care of the two most important things in our lives all day, we drop off our girls every morning with peace of mind that they are in the best possible place they can be outside our home. Both our girls have also thrived in their development, regularly my wife and I notice and are impressed with the new skills they are learning and we give all the credit to this wonderful team. Our four year old has been able to write her own name for almost a year now, she can identify the first letter of any word she's given, as well as write any word we spell for her. Our two year old is communicating at least 6 months ahead of her age, and both girls have developed wonderful social skills and manners, showing lots of care for others, sharing, and love being helpful and kind to others. We also love that Champs doesn't use screens to distract your children, instead they play music, read, go to the playground, do Yoga, and other activities all day. One thing you might find off-putting is that they have one (and sometimes two) teacher planning days a month on average, while this may seem inconvenient at first for us working parents because we have to find care for our kids that day, they are actually a blessing. They use these days really well, our kids are constantly doing really fun, educational activities, they decorate for the different seasons and holidays, and a lot of the activities are holiday-themed. The teachers all seem very happy as well, one of the biggest issues we had with other daycares is that our daughter kept getting new teachers every 4-6 months because the turnover was ridiculous. At Champs, all but one of the teachers has been there for years and years, that speaks volumes about about how they are treated, and I cannot stress enough how important this stability is for children. There is nothing worse than when your kid bonds with a teacher and they are suddenly gone from their lives because they switched jobs. We also have become good friends with some of the parents at Champs, we'll sometimes have dinner together after picking up our kids, or we'll hang out on the weekends. Miami is not great at promoting a sense of community like you get in smaller towns, but Champs has provided that for us. I really cannot recommend Champs enough to every parent, our kids are there because friends we trusted recommended it, and in the year+ we've been there two other friends have also put their kids there on our recommendation. It's one of those places that you know is a loving, welcoming, special place as soon as you walk in.

We've had our son at PreTech Academy since he was just 2 years old, and I can confidently say this…read moreschool has been an amazing experience for our family. He has gone through Pre-K2 all the way to VPK, and the growth we've seen is incredible. The teachers are truly nurturing, caring, and very engaging with the kids. They make learning fun while still focusing strongly on academics, which is very important to our family. My son can write his first and last name, is learning how to add and subtract, and is leaving VPK already writing words and understanding letter sounds (which is so important!). He's also doing very well with CVC words and scored highly on the Florida VPK assessments, which really shows how well they prepare the children for kindergarten. The staff in the front office are just as amazing they know not only my child's name, but also his siblings who don't even attend the school. That personal touch means so much. The director is always present, greeting families and knowing parents by name, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment. Another huge plus is how clean everything is. The school does an excellent job maintaining cleanliness, and my child rarely gets sick, which speaks volumes. Overall, the entire staff is warm, caring, and truly invested in the children. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and strong educational foundation our son has received here. Highly recommend!

Over the past few months, I've encountered repeated instances of misinformation, poor…read morecommunication, and a clear unwillingness to take responsibility for avoidable mistakes. When I addressed a billing error (which the school initially confirmed would be added to my tuition), I was sent an email falsely claiming I hadn't paid. When I questioned this, I was met with dismissiveness and conflicting information. I later confirmed -- through the parent group chat -- that I was misled about the nature of the email distribution. Instead of owning the error, the director chose to deflect. Even more concerning, Ms. Rodriguez has attempted to tell parents we are not allowed to discuss issues with the school in our WhatsApp group chat -- a platform completely unaffiliated with the school. This attempt to silence feedback only adds to the feeling that leadership is more focused on controlling perception than actually resolving concerns. After raising my concerns via email, I was also blocked from viewing the school's Instagram Stories -- a move that felt retaliatory and unprofessional. Additionally, despite respectfully requesting that all communication remain in writing, one of the school's owners refused and insisted on a phone call. When I declined for documentation purposes, I was dismissed and never contacted again. Another owner, the Principal of Pinecrest Glades Academy, never responded to my message at all. It also appears that Ms. Rodriguez may be attempting to downplay or hide issues from other families -- potentially due to the fact that her own child attends the school. This presents a troubling conflict of interest, especially when decisions and communication seem more focused on image management than transparency or child well-being. This is not the type of leadership I expect from an educational institution. Parents deserve accountability, open communication, and professionalism -- not censorship, avoidance, and retaliation. I'm sharing this review in the hope that Pre Tech Academy leadership begins to value the trust families place in them.

St. Matthew's Cooperative Preschool is not your regular preschool. Six years ago, after visiting 14…read moreschools of different types: Montessori, Reggio Emilia, traditional, and even Waldorf, I chose this one for my first child, who attended all his 3 years of preschool there. Four years later I chose it again for my second child, who is now about to complete his preschool stage. Not to say that I didn't like any of the other schools I visited. We are lucky in Miami to have so many great choices for preschool. But this little gem spoke to my heart. It truly is a place where families experience learning together. As a cooperative preschool, parents work along side the teacher, who by the way has been there for about 20 years and is truly dedicated to her mission. The children learn, and learn to love learning, by doing a lot of what they do best: play...inside and outdoors. They also have daily structured art, math, science, reading, pre writing, and writing activities. Because of the class size, the teacher is able to assist each child at their own level, and there are about two field trips each month!!!, so as a group you also get to know Miami and what it has to offer the community quite well! You get to truly meet the parents of the other children, since it's not just a drop off place, and your family finances don't suffer, because it costs a fraction of what all other schools in Miami cost (plus VPK4 year is completely free!). My second child graduates in less than a month, but my entire family will carry this little place forever close to our hearts. We all are better people because of the five years spent at this little treasure we found.

I have not found this in any of the classes I've taken from other providers in the past. Thanks to Heathermarie's guidance, I have developed and continue to build, practical strategies for resolving conflict and connecting with my daughter, even when we are rushed for time throughout the week.

KLA Schools of Coral Gables is a truly exceptional preschool. From the moment you walk in, you can…read morefeel the warmth, care, and dedication of the teachers, assistants, and administrators. They are nurturing, vigilant, and genuinely invested in the well-being of every child. Many teachers have been at KLA for years, and because they clearly enjoy being part of this community, they are able to build lasting bonds with children--even when they are no longer in the same classroom. This creates a uniquely special atmosphere for families. The approach to learning is thoughtful and intentional at every stage of development. Children are supported in reaching their milestones through meaningful experiences, social-emotional practices, and engaging class activities. The curriculum is comprehensive and balanced--covering academics (numbers, shapes, language), art (with a dedicated atelierista), physical education, and an impressive range of enrichment programs like dance, Spanish, soccer, and martial arts. KLA is also a wonderfully inclusive community, bringing together families from all around the world. It is not unusual to hear four or five languages spoken within a single class, always in a spirit of benevolence and respect, where everyone feels welcome. Another thing that stands out is the attention to detail and commitment to continuous improvement. Everything feels carefully considered, and it is clear the leadership values feedback, making thoughtful changes while also supporting teachers in their own professional growth. If you are looking for a place that fosters independence from a young age and prepares children to transition smoothly and confidently into school, there is no better choice than KLA Schools of Coral Gables.
