The school is very clean and the materials the kids work with is clean and in good condition. The facilities are kid friendly and the playground is very nice and well maintained. They have a very good curricula and a very structured method which help kids learn and be organized while having fun. The teachers are very nice, friendly and always willing to help the children improve. The owners are very friendly and very professional. They are the heart of the school, providing the best work so our children can get the best learning experience. I've seen such a big change on my kids in a positive way since I enrolled them to the school, they have become very independent and willing to do things by themselves, progressed rapidly in their learning and the mastering of new skills, and learned so much vocabulary and the recognition of letters. My older daughter by the time she entered pk4 she was writing her name already and could recognize some words. It's a great find that school. I consider it like a little hidden gem.

I have been struggling with the idea of writing this review but then I thought some parents could…read morebenefit from our experience so maybe this ordeal won't have been for nothing. We moved from our country in January 2018 as soon as we got to Aventura this school was the best option to us. We Know about the Montessori philosophy and we like it. On the day of the interview, we informed the principal of our situation, we just moved from another country, my son spoke no English and he had a 6 months old sibling. Our 5 years old son started on March because we believed he could benefit from being with other kids, learning how to share, practicing english and having a routine while we organized the family affairs. After 1 week, we got a call from the principal who let us know that they decided to reevaluate the admission because our son had a bad attitude. He didn't cooperate with activities or would not listen to the teacher (he didn't speak English at the time) We asked her to be patient because of the circumstances and the principal gave us another chance, but it sounded like an ultimatum. The following month, April, we had to travel to our country. We where there for two weeks and when we came back he wasn't better. I think being exposed again to his old life, friends and the family wasn't easy. One morning the principal called me again, she was screaming. She informed us that she put our son out of school! I was crying and felt really sad. My husband called to speak to her and tried to reason with her, this wasn't the ideal solution. She said that our son was not a good fit anymore and he was going to be given two weeks to adjust to the school or else he would be dismissed. Mind you this was also the end of the school year. My son was going through a lot, a new sister, a new country a new language. This school treated him as if he was a juvenile delinquent, as if his presence in the school was a problem. This principal prizes herself for having 23 years of experience in childhood education and that is the way she decided to handle a child who was going through a challenging time in his life? We were made feel as if there was something terribly wrong with him. My son was silly and exuberant experiencing an incredible amount of change all at once, that was his fault. Never did the teachers though help him navigate transitions (the most frequent times for behavioral outbursts), or never was he given time to familiarize himself with the Montessori rules which they claimed he was not following. He was defiant but like a 5 year old can be, a 5 year old who is going through so much change in his life. We were given an ultimatum in a very cold and unsympathetic way. After that call, my husband and I decided to get him out of this horrible school right away. Never in my life have I experienced such lack of compassion and understanding in an early childhood education setting. My son wasn't violent or aggressive or dangerous he was anxious and rambunctious. There must have been other ways to deal with this, some basic childhood psychology and more respectful interventions. You see I could have dealt with the idea that my son wasn't a good fit for this school if the principal had been communicating with us in a compassionate manner, but that never happened. Do yourself a favor, steer away from this place and their cold hearted management. These people should not be educating anyone since they lack basic human empathy. Now, a year later, we are so happy. He is in kindergarten, he is an excellent student, he loves his teacher and has made a lot of friends. He only needed TIME !!

She consistently performs at a high level, and I can clearly see her development over the years. What stands out the most to me is that she is not just another student. She is known by name, seen as an individual, and genuinely cared for. That makes a big difference, and it's something that not every school offers.

I absolutely do not recommend this school. It is a very small institution where the principal shows…read moreno concern for the children's well-being. Whenever parents raise serious concerns or propose improvements, she either ignores them or responds rudely. The children are afraid of her, which creates unnecessary stress. Teachers cry during class because of the mistreatment they receive from the principal, and staff turnover is constant--most teachers leave after a year. The outdoor spaces are extremely limited, so children can't even run around. The main bathroom is almost always broken, and instead of fixing the plumbing issues, they threaten children with punishment if they use toilet paper. When I transferred my son to another school, his new teachers told me he had been taught to hold a pencil incorrectly. We are still retraining him on this, which has affected his handwriting. The school also lacks diversity--there are no children of other races--and bullying is not addressed at all. One day, another child grabbed my son by the neck and threw him to the ground, and the principal never even called to check on him. In summary: this school is poorly managed, does not care about children or teachers, and provides a very negative environment. Most children do not last more than one year here. It has been the worst educational experience we've ever had.

After a year of nightmares was finally over and we were looking at new schools. We started to look at Montessori's, went through 3 interviews.

Our 3rd interview was with Mia Piccolo, after 5 minutes we knew our choice was made up. We are finishing our second year and I can't say I had 1 complaint.
