Before you enroll

Choosing a Montessori school in Miami

  1. 1

    Ask about credentials

    Ask whether lead teachers hold a Montessori credential, and from which training center.

  2. 2

    Watch a work period

    A Montessori room has a long, quiet work period with children choosing materials. Ask to observe one.

  3. 3

    Check the license

    Listings show the Florida license and the state's inspection record where we hold them; a listing with no license record matched says so.

  4. 4

    Ask about cost and hours

    Many Montessori programs run half days. Ask about full-day and extended-day options and fees.

Is every school called Montessori the same?

Are Montessori schools licensed in Florida?

What ages do Montessori programs take?

It varies. Many start at 2.5 or 3 years; some take toddlers or infants. Each listing shows the ages it serves.
