These were truly the best three years my daughter could have had! Banyan Day School is a hidden gem — a place where the staff treats every child like their own. It’s not only a loving and nurturing environment, but also a fantastic place for early learning and development. We are forever grateful for the care and foundation they provided. Highly recommend!
Best school in town! Enrolling your kids at banyan is a decision you won’t regret the staff and teachers are extremely professionals and they truly care about the children’s safety and wellbeing, my daughter loves going to school and that’s the best sign of all. The teachers listened to me and help us get through the process of adjustment to the school and the new routine. 100% recommended.
Our whole family is very happy with this school, and their staff. They genuinely care for each kid and they work hard to bring up the best in them. We have seen the progress in our son and he seems very happy every morning when we drop him off. It is extremely important to us that the school is bilingual, and kids learn a lot while having fun. They will do the best to accommodate every single request we have as parents, which I love. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this school. It's been 10/10. Keep it up!
Banyan Day School is truly a warm and caring environment for children from toddler age through kindergarten. They have a strong focus on traditional learning, which helps children build routines, social skills, and early academics in a structured yet loving setting. It’s the perfect foundation for growing minds and hearts!
As self-employed business owners and involved parents, it was incredibly important for us to find the right preschool to entrust the care and early education of our two sons and daughter. Each day brings us peace knowing that our beloved Banyan consistently excels in: - strong open parent to teacher communication - safety and wellbeing (the campus is simple, homey and beautiful, located in the heart of Coral Gables with a high fence and single entrance accessible only by keypad) - a loving and nurturing staff with quality year-round care including summer camp (the director truly empathizes with working parents as she is one herself!) - appropriate routines with respect to authority and rules (very important nowadays) - a traditional creative curriculum with an emphasis on the whole child development (thorough report cards evaluating social/fine/motor skills given per semester with teacher check-in’s) - small class size (no more than 8/9 students with one principal teacher and one assistant per class) - inclusive learning styles (yes, for those who need extra help especially pandemic kiddos— shoutout to Banyan’s accommodations and the therapists who come to campus) - a solid introduction to academics (with Spanish) that prepares them well for competitive entry to any elementary school - clean classrooms, learning equipment, playground and bathroom settings (bless all of our amazing teachers who help with potty training) - and most importantly instills an excitement and love of learning with fun and play The preschool is managed by three sisters who have extensive experience, knowledge and a whole lot of passion for education since 1986. We respect, trust and admire their guidance. While their success is seen daily in the kids’ happiness, it also lives in the generational students and families who have been at Banyan for many years. You’ll hear and see that Banyan graduates from the 80s/90s return to enroll their own kids. This speaks volumes to their important work…they are building a legacy! Next week marks the start of our third year. Their curriculum unfortunately ends in Kindergarten, but we are thrilled (and relieved) to still call Banyan home for several years to come. We are thankful for the lifelong friendships, childhood memories and their commitment to instill a strong academic and social foundation in our children. Banyan Day School is THE blessing we needed for our family. All said with a grateful heart, we simply could not do this journey without them.
