Because we offer one-on-one interaction for specialized attention and we operate with smaller class sizes. Florida's standard ratios allow six (6) 1-year old students to 1 teacher, eleven (11) 2 year-olds, fifteen (15) 3 year-olds, and twenty (20) 4 year-olds, per teacher. At SBM, we promise to inspire a joy for learning, encourage your child's independence in a healthy manner, provide milestone developmental observations, and create a partnership with you, the parent and caregiver. We are accepting children 1 year of age - Pre-Kindergarten. Our center focuses on treating others as you wish to be treated, growing socially and emotionally through interactions with students of diverse backgrounds. Early Learning Coalition families are welcome and appreciated, as are all families.

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 son attended this daycare for six months. While most of the staff were kind enough, the…read moremanagement left a lot to be desired. Communication was often challenging, largely due to a language barrier, which made it difficult to address concerns properly. One major issue for us was the use of extremely strong air fresheners. My son, along with all his belongings, would come home reeking of synthetic fragrance that lingered for days. Made me really think why would daycare have to use synthetic material known as endocrine disturbers around young kids??? After doing my own research on the potential effects of air fresheners on children's development and well-being, I raised the concern with the owner--only to be dismissed and told they were "safe." I find this kind of attitude irresponsible, dangerous and disappointing. I would not recommend this place!

I explained the unique situation at hand, which was speech delay and that he needed to be in a smaller class setting for extra support. She ASSURED me that the Fort Lauderdale location would be ideal and accommodating because they just opened up. I took the day off from work to tour the place. I showed up with my child to see it. Red flag number one was that they didn't even know I was coming. Red flag number two was the two idiots in the front speaking in Spanish assuming I didn't understand, going back and forth regarding who was going to show me around. Last red flag, was them rejecting me and my son, lying to my face saying there isn't any space for him. How is there no space and the class sizes are small due to it being a new location? Also, why tour me then? I feel like they just wrote me off because my son was a little fidgety wanting to look around like any 2 yr. old. This place is unprofessional and unkind.

From the owner: Montessori education stands out in early childhood because it is built around how children…read morenaturally learn. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, each child is guided at their own pace, following their curiosity within a carefully prepared environment. This fosters independence, concentration, and a deep sense of responsibility from a very young age. Through hands-on materials and real-life activities, children don’t just memorize information—they understand it. They develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and emotional awareness while learning to collaborate respectfully with others. Teachers act as guides, observing and supporting each child’s unique path rather than directing every step. What makes Montessori especially powerful is that it nurtures intrinsic motivation. Children begin to take ownership of their learning, building confidence and a genuine joy for discovery. In essence, Montessori is not just about what children learn, but how they learn—truly Learning how to learn and loving it—a foundation that supports them for life.
