Montessori School of Fort Myers

"Montessori School of Fort Myers (MSFM) is a fantastic accredited school that follows the Montessori method emphatically. The environment is warm and peaceful, and the staff are respectful, caring, and attentive. Ms Joyce is fantastic with the infants and the class size is small with 2 teachers for 6 children (at least when we were part of the Infant class). Ms Livia and Ms Pam are the dynamic duo in the Toddler class, and all the Toddler teachers are wonderful. They guide and love each child through the many milestones they will have in their toddler years. The Primary teachers are top-notch as well. Ms Ana is the epitome of benevolence. Your child will grow immensely in the Primary classes here and will be ready to venture into the next step of their scholastic experience. Additionally, the administrative team is supportive, helpful, and devoted. All the teachers and staff exemplify the patience, perseverance, kindness, steadiness, and dedication to teach. The school not only stresses academic excellence, it also emphasizes kindness and respect. Children are taught conflict resolution and respect for themselves and others. MSFM is the best school in Fort Myers for infants, toddlers, and primary-aged children!"

"MSFM provides a loving and supportive environment, and the classrooms, playgrounds, and curricula are designed to build students' independence. It's clear that the staff and teachers are experienced and genuinely care about the kids. The school has a flexible schedule (offering optional aftercare and summer sessions) as well as workshops and events throughout the year to build community. Our two-year-old has loved it for the last year, and we plan to keep him there through preschool."

"Our child has been attending MSFM since he was 6.5 months old. We loved the small infant room so much. Now in toddler, he comes home with new skills everyday and is always excited to go to school. The teachers seems to genuinely love their jobs and the children. We couldn't imagine sending our baby anywhere else."

"This is such an amazing school. I was nervous sending my kids to school after using a nanny at home. However, this school made the adjustment so easy on me. The teachers and staff are incredible. They treat the children as if they were their own. My son has grown leaps and bounds in the toddler room. There is absolutely nothing around like the infant room at the school. The way everything is structured is so thought out. They even do these units just like the older rooms. I can’t say enough great things about this school!!"

"Recently toured the school and spent an hour observing a classroom. I have heard incredible things about this school including meeting people who have kept their children there for a few years bc of how pleased they are. The staff was extremely personable, kind, accommodating and helpful to us. The classroom was calm, organized, and the children all demonstrated a very high level of independence for 3-6 years! Certainly not what you expect to see in a room full of young children. The director is a very kind person and we are really excited for our son to start this summer."
