From the moment we contacted Montessori Ivy League to schedule a tour to the moment we decided to…read moremove our son to a different school, we had such an overwhelmingly positive experience with the entire staff. The enrollment process was like none we had ever experienced before. They offered us an observation where our son went to the classroom for the teacher to get an understanding of his current level of functioning then we also had an opportunity to speak with a current parent of another student who was very helpful. The teacher is amazing and we saw the difference in our son at home. He came home showing us that he learned how to peel an orange himself and he became more independent overall. The only reason we decided to leave is thw distance. We live in Dania Beach and with the traffic and school zones in the morning, too much time was being taken for traveling. Otherwise, we would happily keep our son enrolled. We love Ms. Salma and her entire staff who are highly professional.

I am so excited for my new role! We have a great group of students, parents and teachers and now I have the chance to guide and help all of them. My goal is to stay here for many more years, continue learning, and continue doing a job that I love. When you come to our school, I will be the first person you will meet.

Montessori Academy of Broward is an amazing school in many aspects. The staff in the front office,…read morethe administrative staff, and the teachers are all so supportive and welcoming. They are very good at communicating everything to the parents. I love that everyday that I go to pick up my daughter at school her teacher always tells me how her day went from the smallest detail to the more important things. I felt very confident in enrolling my two and a half year old at Montessori Academy of Broward because I knew she was in the right school.

I would strongly advise others to think twice before enrolling in this school. My experience was…read moreextremely disappointing and concerning. Communication is a major issue-most of the teachers do not speak English fluently, my husband is always upset because, the teacher has to use Google Translate to give him report for our son. Even more troubling is the way students are treated. There is a clear sense of bias and unfair treatment, especially toward darker-skinned students. It creates an uncomfortable and unwelcoming environment where not everyone feels respected or valued. My son was 18 months old and the teacher Daniella would call me several times a week to te me to pick him up because he refuses to sit he refuses to take a nap (he is a baby!). I was paying $1600 per month, and they treated my family unfairly as if we weren't a paying customer. They don't care about teaching ! They only care about getting paid! they are scamming people. A school should be a place where all students feel safe, supported, and included. Unfortunately, that has not been the case here. I would not recommend this school to anyone looking for a positive and fair learning environment.

Our son Jack has been part of the Montessori Institute of Broward community since he was two years…read moreold, and it has been an incredible experience for our family. The school truly nurtures independence, curiosity, and confidence in its students. Over the years we've watched Jack grow not only academically but also personally, developing strong communication skills, responsibility, and a genuine love of learning. One of the most special opportunities recently was his participation in the MMUN (Montessori Model United Nations) conference in New York. Seeing students represent their schools and countries on an international stage at such a young age speaks volumes about the quality of education and encouragement they receive at Montessori Institute of Broward. The leadership at the school is exceptional. Ms. E, the principal, creates a warm, supportive environment where students feel valued and inspired. She truly leads with heart and vision. Jack's Grade 4 teacher, Ms. Kay, has also been outstanding--patient, dedicated, and deeply invested in her students' growth. She challenges them academically while also nurturing their confidence and character. We are incredibly grateful to be part of such a thoughtful and inspiring school community. Montessori Institute of Broward has played a huge role in shaping Jack into the curious, confident young person he is becoming. Luke aged 5 is also thriving at MIB and i cant wait to see how he progresses.

My two boys have been attending MIB for almost two years. I must say that enrolling them here was…read morethe best decision that I could have made for my children. I have seen so much positive growth academically, which I completely expected in this Montessori environment. What I did not expect was that my boys would gain so much independence and self-confidence. The teachers at this school work very diligently at empowering the children to work independently. All of the teachers are very committed to their students and to keeping the parents informed about their childrens' progress. If you are a parent that desires to be involved with what goes on at school, this is the place for you. There are a number of parent driven committee's that welcome parent's to donate their time and talents to the betterment of the school. MIB also conducts several informational workshops for parents so that we have the opportunity to see how the montessori process works and to ask questions about this learning method. I could go on and on about how wonderful this school is and how much my children love it here!

I recently inquired about enrolling my child at this daycare and was disappointed with my…read moreexperience. When I contacted the front office, I was told they would not provide any information unless I scheduled a tour. As a working single mom with limited availability, it is very difficult to commit to an in-person visit without first knowing basic details such as tuition, program structure, and availability. I have never encountered a policy where absolutely no information could be shared prior to booking a tour. It felt unreasonable to expect parents to invest time away from work without confirming whether the program would even be a good fit financially or logistically. After reading other reviews, I noticed similar comments about the school being very "private." While I understand and appreciate maintaining security and privacy for the children, there should still be transparency and open communication with prospective parents. Feeling informed and included is essential when making decisions about our children's care and education. Unfortunately, the lack of openness made the environment feel unwelcoming rather than inviting. I would have loved the opportunity to explore becoming part of their community, but first impressions matter -- especially when it comes to our children.

Since our daughter started here, we've seen amazing development in her communication, confidence, and social skills.

Whether it's updates, events, or just a simple check-in, we always feel connected to what's happening in her classroom. We're truly thankful for the positive impact this school has had on our daughter's early education. We couldn't have chosen a better place for her to begin her learning journey.

MUST READ!!!!!!! GREAT SCHOOL!!!!!!!!! After reading the…read morelast few negative reviews of this school, I felt absolutely compelled to write this!!!!!!!!! I could not be happier with this school! My child started this school when she was 3 and has grown SO MUCH since then. We would have stayed at Three Village Montessori until 4th grade if we could, but unfortunately business has relocated us. They are a true Montessori school with certified teachers. The facility itself is clean and organized. Classroom sizes are spacious and the materials on the shelves are so inviting for children. I love the Montessori method of independent learning and that my child was constantly working to her potential. We received MONTHLY progress reports about how she was doing in all areas: socially, academically, etc.which was so great because both my husband and I work such long hours we feared we wouldn't truly know how she was doing in school. This was never the case. The director Ms Vivian is always there greeting the children in the morning and is so warm and welcoming to everyone. Her assistant Romina is kind and helpful. Their cook Ms Aurora is the sweetest lady and makes the children lunch from scratch with so much love. If my child didn't like what was served that day, she would go back in the kitchen to see what else she could make her instead. This school truly is an extension of family. I have personally witnessed a child start crying for their mother and right away Ms Vivian or Ms Romina go to investigate where the crying is coming from and why. They truly love and care about every child at that school. My child always came home telling me all the fun she had in Ms Peggy's classroom. I was so shocked to read the review below because my child LOVED Ms Peggy so much and misses her to this day. Not once did I get a negative report from my daughter and even I admit she could be challenging at times. We spent a very happy three years at Three Village Montessori and genuinely recommend that you go check it out for yourself. You wont regret it!
