Papillon Montessori

"First off let me start by saying my daughter has been at Le Petit 4 years and it continues to be the best decision we ever made to ensure her future success. Not only is she happy, but her reading and math skills are incredible. She just took her first state exams and she did amazing, scoring in the absolute top percentile. While my daughter is smart, we very much contribute those results to her learning at Le Petit. My wife and I could not be happier with how the school is run. The children are treated as the number one priority with love and care for their education. It's about the kids and the kids are happy and learning there. With all the craziness that has gone on in school systems around the country and even in Florida, we could not feel any safer with our daughter attending Le Petit. That's a big deal if you ask me! School is not supposed to be the place where the parents try to bend all the rules any way they like just because everyone has some money. School is supposed to be a place of education and structure to teach our kids reading, math, science, history and the social skills needed to succeed in life. Le Petit provides our child the surroundings to feel confident, secure and excited to attend school every day to learn and interact with children of all ages."

"I would highly recommend Le Petit Papillon Montessori School. Our family's experience at the school has been filled with academic excellence, incredible, skilled teachers and happiness. My children have made lifelong friends at LPP. I love the new carpool line. It is extremely efficient and makes morning and afternoon drop offs and pick ups a pleasure. Each year I am amazed by how much the school grounds seem to get better and better. This year I was so impressed by the amazing tree house, rock climbing wall and zip line that was added to the school yard. The environment inside the classroom is peaceful, clean, organized, beautiful and smells great. Outside the grounds are beautiful and exciting from the flowers, the greenhouse and the animals (rabbits and monkeys to pot belly pigs) to the play areas, set up for all age groups, and the gorgeous art murals. We always can't wait for the school's Art Basel event where the kids display unbelievable and creative works of art, the Science Fair and the Fun Filled Carnival. The school's Director has been extremely helpful and kind throughout my 12 years at the school and has created a school that has allowed my children to grow into productive, positive, caring, creative and well prepared young ladies. Thank you Le Petit Papillon."

"My son has been at this Le Petit Papillon for the last 4 years. It has been an amazing journey of learning, development, and self awareness. When he started at the school he was a shy little boy whom was more of a follower. Through the years he has developed into an assertive and brilliant leader. Just this year he tested a grade higher then the grade that he attends. The ever loving staff led by the principal Ms. Damarys constantly show how they care for all the children. It is beautiful to see my son grow in such an incredible atmosphere."

"My two children have attended Le Petit Papillon Montessori school since they were 4 and 2 years old. I love the nurturing and adventurous learning environment that is Papillon Montessori School. My oldest child graduated in 5th grade, it was sad to have her leave the nurturing, safe environment we found at Papillon but I believe that the years she spent there with truly knowledgeable and engaging Montessori teachers really shaped the calm, confident and inquisitive student she is. My second child equally thrived as a result of attending Papillon, being more hyper and impatient than her older sister, I realized that these instructors and the Head of School truly understand children in the way they were able to mold my second child into an organized student with great time management skills and leadership qualities . They truly applied the Montessori way of "teaching by teaching and not correcting". The school's campus is one of the most beautiful and well cared for. The level of security at this school is the best I have seen . The fact that the school is closed to visitors and gates are locked means that no one can come into the campus unless checked in at the gated entrance. This is not the case for the majority of schools I have toured. The personnel and teachers personally pick up your child in the car line at drop off and pick up. This gives me piece of mind that my children are safe . We are so lucky to have such a wonderful school in our beach community."

"I've worked at Le Petit Papillon for over 2 years now and from day one I knew that this was where I belonged. Ms. Damarys has given me the opportunity to grow and better myself not only as a teacher but as an individual too. She is incredible! My coworkers are amazing and are supportive, educated and passionate about their work and are always willing to help each other. The School itself is beyond beautiful and it is evident every day how happy the children are to be there and how much they love to learn. I can't imagine being anywhere else!"
