Small World Montessori (Miramar)

My child was enrolled in this school for 7 months and unfortunately the overall experience was negative. I waited about 3 weeks after our son was kicked out to write this review just to make sure I wouldn’t have an emotionally charged review. First, I will echo what one reviewer said and emphasize that you do not want to send your child here unless they are perfect because they will find a reason to kick your child out. While my son does have a delay the way they kicked him out would be traumatic for any parent. The simply called me in for a meeting and dismissed us. This was abrupt and right before school was starting so we didn’t have time to find another daycare, which left our family in frenzy. Not to mention they didn’t not suggest helpful next steps or another daycare, indicating their clear lack of care for our child’s future well being.

But beyond my own personal situation with this school I did observe several other points of concern that would be pertinent to any parent. For starters, they have frequent turn over. My child’s teacher changed several times within the 7 months and the last teacher did not express even a basic desire to communicate with us as parents. My child was also sent home with vomit on his clothing even though he had a change of clothes that his teacher didn’t bother to look for. The directors are impossible to communicate with via any means of communication. I sent numerous emails and left message sometime for days without response. They are money hungry and use your payment method meant for tuition auto-payments to charge additional fees for random events even if your child does participate. As an example I left a message to speak to the director and had called for 4 days requesting a call back only to receive a call from the front desk on day 4 asking if I wanted to participate in a mothers days event that was $10 per person. When I pointed out that I still hadn’t gotten a call back they apologized and said that someone would get back to me but they never did. In additional my child was sick the ENTIRE 7 months and they had several outbreaks of hand-foot-mouth virus in their school while he was there. When my son was unfortunate enough to catch hand-foot-mouth the last time they gave me a hassle sending him back after I kept him home for 10 days and he was cleared for return. Just to add context I am not a first time mother so I know kids get sick when they first go to daycare but this was outside the range of normal as my child was never well in the entire 7 months. I’m conclusion, though the school looks nice on the inside the quality of care your child receives is questionable. In the end they did themselves and my family a favor by dismissing us early ( we were looking for another daycare anyway) but if I can save another parent the emotional trauma from enrolling here then I hope this helps. There is a reason why this school has some of the worst reviews in the area!

As a mother of two children attending the Small World Montessori school, I must say I am very happy and pleased with the School. My son now 6 just completed kindergarten at a charter school and moving into 1st grade attended the SWMS and my daughter 3, currently still attends. They have enjoyed their days at school especially their teachers, Ms. Christina, Mr. Vayani and the entire staff. They are caring, thoughtful, nurturing and attentive. They give us a great sense of security and peace of mind when we drop them off each day. The school provides a very extensive curriculum that has allowed my son to achieve all his Kindergarten educational goals and my daughter is really excelling in her PreK class. If you’re looking for a school with caring teachers and a strong academic curriculum you should consider Small World  Montessori school. We Love them!

Great Montessori school. This is the second one my daughter has been at and she is extremely happy here. She loves being at school, enjoys her teachers and friends. The school does a great job at getting parents involved, hosting events to meet other parents and kids, and hosting events year around for the kids.

My daughter started Small World at the age of 2. She did fantastic here. The staff is awesome, and administration is always available to parents. Location could not better. There is no line up. She recently graduated from VPK and I'm very happy with her learning experience. This small business went thru covid-19 restrictions and provided clear guidance and vigilance with low positive rates which from my experience no other school around the area did. Yes, although
they required periodically testing, I believe it helped prevent spreading covid in school. Would recommend without reservations.

Enrolling in this school was the best decision ever for everyone! All teachers and staff genuinely care about the children and their growth. The emphasis on academics and curriculum is apparent from Day 1. As a parent it is great to know your child is in an environment that will allow them to thrive and get better everyday.
