Montessori Ivy League

This is an amazing and loving school environment for preschool and younger students. My first child has been through the program from age 2.5 - 5, and has come out a confident, more mature and independent young lady. The school has loving teachers and administrators that facilitate a safe environment that encourages self control, and respect for others and for the students themselves. Our second has begun the same journey at this institution and already has more self discipline and confidence since the beginning of the year. I continue to recommend the school to other parents in the community and fully believe the cost is very appropriate for the setting. It was a wise investment in our childrens' future education and general development.

We can’t thanks Ms Salma and her phenomenal team enough for caring for their students in the greatest way! Sadly, this school is so underrated, especially from the perspective of very satisfied parents. As a parent, finding a safe, supportive and loving learning environments for our 3–year-old is our top priority. She is our life, and we can’t put her in any school with seemingly nice strangers due to our previous horrible experiences. She was physically abused by a caregiver when she was only 13 months old, by a woman who was also a mother to her own grown children. We were traumatized by the experience, despite the caregiver and director were both fired after the incident. After keeping her at home for six months, we learned she needed to interact with kids her age. She attended two different schools with mediocre experiences. One school ended up having 28 kids with one teacher (thanks to access to camera footage), instead of 10 kids per teacher as we were told during our tour, that’s why she was having ear infections every week. Another school had a boy who bullied and constantly pushed and hit classmates, but there was no discipline from the teachers. As a mother, my heart aches while witnessing these incidents a few times, I know that also not the right school for us, yes, finding a good school is hard, we wasted great amount of registration fee, but our baby is priceless; after all, we finally found a great school; she was there for 2 months, which was the best 2 months of school experience before this school. Then my husband’s job sent us to Miami, and my heartache for our daughter to leave her school. I was nervous during the school hunt when we got here. Montessori Ivy League wasn’t on our list due to the low-rates reviews on YELP. After nearly 10 tours of different schools, we decided to ignore the low-rated reviews and scheduled a tour. During our tour, we could feel the positive vibes from the moment we stepped in the door, then the final decision was easy. Montessori Ivy League is a safe and nourishing community for the little ones. We saw tremendous positive growth of our baby in the last 10 months. She loves her school; she won’t look back at us when we drop her off in the morning, and she doesn’t want to leave when I pick her up.😂 She learned to take turns, stay in line, push chair back, closed cabinet doors, and know to put trash in trash can, and more. She is patient, sweet and gentle, which is the hard work of her teachers. 🙏🏼 She put her hands behind her back, stood tall, look into my eyes, and said “sorry” when she dropped eggs on the floor. She told me “ that’s ok” and grabbed a towel to clean the floor when I told her eggs are not toys. It made me tear up as I wrote this review. Because I know she is in a loving environment, growing and learning, despite being still delayed in speech, but teachers are patient with her, and she can read a lot of advanced words and count to 20, and knowing the colors. Thanks to Ms.Rubina and her assistant teachers, by the way, she always came home with a fresh hairdo, small details shows the teachers are patient with the students. If you are a new parent reading this review, know your precious baby will be in good hands at Montessori Ivy League. Also seeing the retired teachers coming back to help at the front desk when they need help tells the character of the director Ms.Salma; she is a truly amazing and caring leader. Maybe someday you might see me there as a volunteer. We are forever grateful that Montessori Ivy League accepted our daughter to be part of this wonderful community! 🙏🏼

Was looking for a Great loving School to send my child, by reading the reviews, I thought that this would be a great school for my child. It has been one of the worst experience. The teachers/ staffs are so unprofessional …..

I just had a our with my toddler and was absolutely fantastic! From the warm welcome to the engaging classroom environments, we were so impressed. The teachers were clearly passionate and interacted beautifully with the children. The facilities were bright, clean, and thoughtfully designed for little ones. We left feeling incredibly confident and excited about the possibility of our child learning and growing in such a nurturing and stimulating setting. A definite 5-star experience!

My son started at 19 months and I credit this school for his discipline when it comes to sitting still and taking naps as scheduled. But it wasn't the right environment for him and we had to make the tough decision to remove him. My daughter started at 15 months and has ABSOLUTELY thrived in the Montessori environment. She is so excited to go to school everyday and loves the teachers. There is good communication between the administration and parents about the child's progress. The facility maintains a clean and safe environment. I would recommend for prospective parents, but keep in mind that your child has to be the right fit for the environment to progress and do well.
