It is located 3351 Matilda St. The school shows some nice arches to the building This school is the ancestor of the first public school (1887) in what is now Miami-Dade County. The original H.H. Mundy-designed building of the present school, visible from Matilda Street, opened in 1911. A new high school addition, designed by Walter DeGarmo, visible from Grand Avenue, opened in 1922. The high school closed in 1926 and the elementary school took over the building.

As self-employed business owners and involved parents, it was incredibly important for us to find…read morethe right preschool to entrust the care and early education of our two sons and daughter. Each day brings us peace knowing that our beloved Banyan consistently excels in: - strong open parent to teacher communication - safety and wellbeing (the campus is simple, homey and beautiful, located in the heart of Coral Gables with a high fence and single entrance accessible only by keypad) - a loving and nurturing staff with quality year-round care including summer camp (the director truly empathizes with working parents as she is one herself!) - appropriate routines with respect to authority and rules (very important nowadays) - a traditional creative curriculum with an emphasis on the whole child development (thorough report cards evaluating social/fine/motor skills given per semester with teacher check-in's) - small class size (no more than 8/9 students with one principal teacher and one assistant per class) - inclusive learning styles (yes, for those who need extra help especially pandemic kiddos-- shoutout to Banyan's accommodations and the therapists who come to campus) - a solid introduction to academics (with Spanish) that prepares them well for competitive entry to any elementary school - clean classrooms, learning equipment, playground and bathroom settings (bless all of our amazing teachers who help with potty training) - and most importantly instills an excitement and love of learning with fun and play The preschool is managed by three sisters who have extensive experience, knowledge and a whole lot of passion for education since 1986. We respect, trust and admire their guidance. While their success is seen daily in the kids' happiness, it also lives in the generational students and families who have been at Banyan for many years. You'll hear and see that Banyan graduates from the 80s/90s return to enroll their own kids. This speaks volumes to their important work...they are building a legacy! Next week marks the start of our third year. Their curriculum unfortunately ends in Kindergarten, but we are thrilled (and relieved) to still call Banyan home for several years to come. We are thankful for the lifelong friendships, childhood memories and their commitment to instill a strong academic and social foundation in our children. Banyan Day School is THE blessing we needed for our family. All said with a grateful heart, we simply could not do this journey without them.

As a parent, you want your child to be in a nurturing environment that encourages play, imagination and learning. Riviera delivered in spades and helped my son to have academic success throughout his life.

Totally unprofessional/unacceptable. Basically the short version. My wife was told 2 days before there will be no after school for pre-k she basically stated she hasn't been happy with the way administration has been handling things ex.

Additionally the children complain about the bread always being stale and the lunch only being good on Friday "pizza day". The pick up line is a nightmare even if you arrive 30 minutes prior to pick up and are the first person in line officers will make you move essentially making you the last in line because they cannot have cars blocking traffic being a two lane street . Additionally the school does not allocate funding properly for the best interest of your Childrens education if your child is spectrum or has any kind of learning disability this school will straight up fail them rather than using the additional resources "charter schools" have to help your child catch up .

I grew a special love for this place, Beth, Piaza, Havrilla, Gentles, Sol, Sinclair (tho she was there for a short time, she sparked my love for writing and reading and photography.

Throughout my twenties, I visited often, give thanks, appreciation and gratitude. This school saved my life. life is still incredible difficult as an high functioning AuDHD person, i dont understand still a lot of things In social norms or cues.

Now, she in the Class of 4's and we are so delighted to see everything she has achieved and learned since she started. Since day one, our daughter loves her school; and not only because of their professionalism, but because of the love and caring she receives from everybody; which for us, as parents, it gives us a piece of mind to know our daughter is being treated as she is at home and most important, that she is in a safe place. At KLA Coral Gables our daughter is not only being taken cared of, she is learning, she is making friends but specially she is having FUN! Their philosophy is amazing, as well as everything else, their staff, their neat premises, their warmth atmosphere, their activities and events, great environment, etc. When you pick up your child everyday to school and they don't want to leave...that tells you something...that's a good sign....it tells you they are happy to be there ;) We highly recommend KLA Schools Coral Gables. For us, KLA is family. They are the best!!

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.
