Montessori Institute of Broward

"AMAZING. The best institution for 1.5-6 yr olds. Our child has attended this institution since 18 months old, and now at 3.5 yrs old we have been nothing but thrilled at the opportunity for our child to be the part of this community. The facility in itself is a hidden gem -- great location, quaint, yet conveniently located at the intersection of major roads, and not directly on the main road. Always impeccably clean and well cared for. Any institution is not about the building -- the teachers and management are really the heart of it, and the MIB has hands down, the best staff bar none. Kind, thoughtful, caring, inventive, and really, friends and family to our child and us parents. Our child speaks of them fondly outside the classroom, and often misses her teachers on weekends. I've never seen children arguing, fighting, speaking in high voice, or exhibit any of the inappropriate behavior in my two years being here in the morning and in the afternoon. Our three-year-old hums the US Anthem, and puts her hand to her heart when she hears our anthem. She always sings songs at home which they sing in the classroom during the day, and every day brings home drawings, paintings, or other small items they craft in class. The staff helps children value our country, teaches them proper behavior and character traits, and works on motor, logic, science, and arts. Children even grow their own vegetable garden to help them be closer to our Earth. Love this place. Huge kudos!"

"Everything about this school is amazing on paper (since I have yet to go see the school.) Only downfall… you MUST give your child vaccinations. I understand being that they are a private school they can do what ever they want but if you know anything about DNA and vaccinations you understand that not all immunizations shots are healthy for every child. The fact that they do not offer vaccination exemption is unfortunate because may parents nowadays are really opening up their eyes up more and more to this issue and no exemption their are children missing out on the eduction they offer. I pray for much prosperity for the school and a future of vaccination exemption If you need a Montessori school without vaccination: contact Montessori Academy of Broward."

"An absolutely incredible school & environment! We love MIB. The teachers are incredibly attentive and the Montessori principles are truly followed. The transition from being at home to starting school was very smooth for us thanks to the wonderful teachers and their guidance. It’s a shame the 1 star reviews are from people who’s children have never attended because I can assure this is a very fair and transparent school."

"Never had a chance to attend here. Went on a tour and loved the school. Ladies running the front office seemed very kind and caring. Classrooms seemed very organized and cleaned. Why the 1 star? Because I am unable to enroll my 2 year old even with a medical exemption for vaccination. If I vaccinate my kid she can die due to her medical condition. The response? “We are a private school and can do what we want.” Wow just wow..... awful to find a place you think is great but then be told this. I am not sure who the owners are but I hope they read this and understand many people who go along with Montessori delay vaccinate, or don’t vaccinate."

"I am a Montessori trained guide and moved to the area two years ago. I was initially attracted to MIB because of their bilingual program. My experience has been overall fantastic. Mr. Danny, Ms. Amy, and Ms. Claudia have been so kind and loving with my son! He will be in Kindergarten next year and is happily writing and eagerly conducting research for his presentations on Fridays. Thank you Otter team!!"
