The Purpose of Montessori Education
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that each child has a special gift and we should follow the child to unlock their potential. A truly educated individual continues learning long after the hours and years they spend in the classroom because they are motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge.
Dr. Montessori felt, therefore, that the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate their own natural desire to learn.
The Absorbent Mind
Dr. Montessori wrote, “The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For this is the time when man’s intelligence itself, his greatest implement is being formed.”
The equipment that the students use in our prepared environment will help them develop the concentration, order, independence, coordination and work habits needed in their future academics.
We foster an environment where the children can flourish and grow. A place where they can feel at ease and safe to further the development of their self-esteem , independence, respect for themselves and others.
Executive Director
Muss Montessori has been home to all three of our children. We researched every school under the sun and found Muss the best fit for our family. The school truly excels in nurturing little minds, creating a solid foundation for the future, both academically and personally. Our kiddos came home happy, rattling off new songs and facts they learned that day—one of our best decisions.
I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Muss Montessori. From the moment we enrolled our first child, we knew we had made the right choice. The dedication of the staff to fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment is truly exceptional. All four of our children have had the pleasure of leaning at Muss. Each child has thrived academically, socially, and emotionally under their guidance. The Montessori method has provided a unique and enriching educational journey, tailored to our children’s individual needs and interests. We are continually impressed by the level of care, passion, and expertise demonstrated by the teachers and staff. Muss has not only exceeded our expectations but has also instilled in our children a lifelong love for learning. I wholeheartedly recommend Muss to any parent seeking a truly exceptional educational experience mixed with LOVE for their child/children.
Muss Montessori is so much more than a school; It is a family, a home away from home, a place where our children experienced so many wonderful firsts! The teachers and administrative staff are beyond devoted, caring, creative, and professional. Muss helped our children excel both in and out of the classroom and turned them into the advanced students they are today. You will always have such a special place in our hearts!
Muss Family Montessori is such a special school located in the heart of Miami Beach. My daughter attended Muss from 3 years old through Kindergarten. She loved Muss so much she is now in 2nd grade and still asks to go back for summer camp. The teachers and staff are amazing. If you are looking for a warm and nurturing environment where your child will learn and grow in a safe, happy place then Muss Montessori is the school for you.
We were so happy to see all three of our children thrive at Muss Montessori.
Using children's natural interests and activities rather than formal teaching methods, Muss gave our children the space to grow, each in their own individual ways. It was the best education any child could have, especially under the guidance of Ms. Rebecca and Ms. Debbie!
