About

Atelier Kids is a Montessori and Reggio Emilia inspired preschool in Miami, between Miami Shores and North Miami, for children from 18 months to 5 years. Our approach blends the independence and order of Montessori with the Reggio Emilia belief that children learn through curiosity, creativity and relationships. Classrooms are calm and thoughtfully prepared. Children choose meaningful work, explore with their hands, and express what they learn through art, music, movement and conversation. Our atelier, the art studio that gives the school its name, sits at the heart of the day. Classes are small, with no more than 10 children per teacher, so every child is truly known. Outside, children spend time on our playground and in the garden, where nature becomes part of the curriculum. Programs Toddlers (18 months to 3 years) and Preschool (3 to 5 years) Half Day, Full Day and Extended Day schedules Early care and after care for working families Florida VPK for 4-year-olds Enrichment in art, music and yoga Visit us 1253 NE 112th St, Miami, FL 33161 Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 5:30 pm We’d love to show you around.

Is this an accredited Montessori school?

No accreditation or membership from a recognized Montessori body (AMI, AMS, or Montessori Canada) is on file for this listing. Because "Montessori" isn't a protected trademark in the US or Canada (a 1967 US trademark ruling put the term in the public domain in the US), any school can use the name regardless of how closely it follows the method. That doesn't mean this school isn't authentically Montessori; it means accreditation status isn't the way to check here. Ask the school directly about their teacher training (look for AMI or AMS-trained staff) and ask to observe a classroom work cycle.

Accreditation is not the same as an operating licence. A provincial/state child care licence or private school registration only confirms a school is legally allowed to operate — it says nothing about whether the teaching method is Montessori.

Teacher credentials matter too. Ask how many lead teachers hold AMI, AMS, or MACTE-accredited teacher training — a strong signal independent of the school's own accreditation status.
