Montessori Children's House of Hyde Park

"We sent our 2 children to Montessori Children's House and have been so impressed by the school and our children's development. It is an extremely respectful and nurturing learning environment. We are in awe of the focus and internal drive our children have for learning and I believe that is a testament of the school's teaching and philosophy in education. It is a truly Wonderful school!"

"Our son attended MCH for 8 years and it will always hold a treasured place in our hearts. If they had a middle school, we would’ve happily stayed! As a former teacher, I knew MCH was a special environment. There is no rote learning, “teaching to the test”, or excessive homework. Instead the children learn deeply through meaningful work, discovery and discussion, working with their peers, conferring with their teachers, and the freedom to explore their interests. As a result, they develop a genuine love of learning and academics that serves them well when they advance to middle school and beyond. In addition to academics, kindness matters here. Children are encouraged to be their unique selves and to be respectful of others. The concepts of grace and courtesy are weaved throughout daily life here. The older children help and serve as mentors to the younger students. It was always a pleasure to visit or volunteer because the children were so engaged and enjoyable. Lastly, there is a strong sense of community here. Visiting days, performances, field trips, school socials, alumni visits, and parent/family events were always heartwarming and inclusive. MCH was a magical place for our family and we will always have fond memories of our time there. If you are considering MCH, you will not be disappointed."

"I am so happy I found Hyde park Montessori in Tampa. My child was there for 5 years (2-6 grade) and I truly loved watching him and grow and learn each year. He graduated with confidence in his ability to navigate 7th grade. The years before middle school are so precious and i am grateful everyday for the kindness and open minded environment that I got to be a part of. There are not many places today where children find joy in learning, are challenged and nurtured! Hyde park Montessori does all of this and much more!"

"MCH is a magical place for learning and development. Above all, what our children acquired in their journey from K to 6 grade was a love for learning. MCH prepared them to enter middle school with a solid academic foundation and confidence in their abilities. We will always be grateful to this school and its teachers."

"My daughters attended Montessori Children's House in Hyde Park for eight years. They received a wonderful education, developed great curiosity for knowledge and cultivated a lasting love of learning. The environment at MCH is a unique one, which encouraged kindness, respect and care for their peers and teachers. My daughters were both well prepared for the next step in their education, one of the top private schools in Tampa."
