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.

We have been fortunate to have experienced many great teachers throughout the years in both Parrot and Otter rooms and will continue with the school until sixth grade (or more if they open a middle school).

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. We have truly loved every moment there. The safety and security I feel when sending my children is unmatched, and the staff have become like a second family to them. From the very first tour, I had a great feeling about this daycare, and my confidence in that decision has only grown over time. 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!

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 are very kind and caring, as well as all the staff, including Ms. Carla, Ms. Margaret, Ms. Bibi and Ms. Ali. The campus is clean and well run.

This school has saved my son. He was previously enrolled in another private school where the…read moreteacher kept calling meetings to point out everything "wrong" with him at just 3 years old. They had no desire to work with him and only cared to collect their money. He cried everyday. At Montessori academy, he is LOVED! The front desk staff, teachers and TA's work with him to mold him just like a school should. They make me feel secure knowing that he is happy and comfortable. Incredibly pleased with MAB and looking forward to witnessing his growth to a middle schooler :)

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.

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.

Even for a toddler, our daughter didnt follow directions very well but within about a month, she…read morewas putting toys back and cleaning up after herself. 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.

As a first time mom finding this school for my 3 year old was a blessing. He has learned so much in one year, and all thanks to Mr. Jo. She is an angel on this earth, her patience and love for the kids is a virtue. My son loves to go to school, because of Mrs. Jo. She creates a nurturing environment for the kids. All of the staff at the learning nest is exceptional. Laurie and Cynthia are amazing they always great you with a smile and answer all your questions. I always felt my son was safe and in good hands here. Staff has been working there for 10+ years. Communication amongst staff members is great. The building and location is beautiful and so clean. I love the drop off and pick up process. They do fun activities with the kids. You cannot go wrong with this preschool! The Cavalie Family

We knew she was ready for more than we could offer at home. So we wanted to make sure she was in an environment of learning, creativity and top notch care. After touring many schools and montessoris in our area, we finally got an appointment at DPK. We were so pleased from the moment we pulled up into the parking lot. The school is in a beautiful and lush area, with so many trees and beautiful greenery. No heavy traffic or too many buildings around. Everything was super clean and NEW! We were greeted by Ms. Laurie the school Director, who also gave us our tour. She was sweet, energetic and funny. The school has been completely remodeled . All the class rooms are New and immaculate. It's not too big, which we loved!! They had everything we were looking for. A music room, library, and great gym with all new kids equipment and toys. The class rooms were beautiful, organized and soooooo clean! They even had a Viewing Glass area, were we could stop by and peek into the class without the kids seeing us. This gave us so much peace of mind. We were also able to meet the teacher Ms. Sabrina, and speak with her about her experience and teaching philosophy. We knew right away we had found our School! Thankfully there was a spot available and we got our little one registered right away! After 4 months of going to DPK our kiddo has blossomed in so many ways! The growth is amazing to watch. She is talking so much and is always happy and excited to go to school. The entire DPK team is truly the BEST. They are caring, experienceed, and knowledgeable. They are always available to speak and give us feedback on how our little one is doing. Ms Laurie, Ms Cynthia, Ms Sabrina, Ms Gabby, these ladies are such a blessing! We am so happy we found this little Gem in Plantation!!!

Ms Catalina and all the Teachers are incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely care about every single child. They create such a welcoming environment and it's clear how much love and dedication they put into their work.

It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our son is in such a nurturing and supportive place. All the areas are calm, engaging and beautifully prepared, encouraging curiosity, independence and a genuine love of learning. It's amazing to see how excited my 5 year old is to go to school every day. My 3 year old will join this year too and he can't wait. We feel so lucky that our children are growing and thriving in such a positive and inspiring Montessori environment.

I regret this choice as it was a school that did not offer my daughter the love and respect all children deserve. Our experience: My daughter was under constant threats ( they would tell her that I would not be back to pick her up if she did not stop crying). She was verbally abused: I personally observed this along side the director and owner Mr. Garcia (who had no way of justifying this behavior). We saw how one for her teachers yelled at her in a loud and threatening form to go to the bathroom (when my daughter said she did not have to go); my daughter was terrified and crying. I reported this issue and the school to the Department of Children and Families (DCF), so they could investigate. As if this wasn't enough, I later received a call from MRs. Garcia owner, wife of Mr. Garcia (as she introduced herself) in a loud threatening voice telling me that I was prohibited from talking to any parents at the school. If this is the way the directives treat other adults (who are able to speak up and fend for ourselves) how do they treat the children whom can't do so and will just be afraid of that adult figure.
