Our Campuses

Downtown Miami & Edgewater

The Learning Nest is a bilingual preschool in the heart of Miami that embraces the Montessori philosophy and principles, and provides its students with a personalized and enriching learning experience.

Since we opened our first school in 2006, our dedicated and experienced team of educators has been committed to creating safe educational environments that foster the holistic development of a child, encompassing physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual growth.

We offer two locations in the Downtown Miami area:

  • Downtown: 103 NW 8th St, Miami, FL 33136, 
  • Edgewater: 1801 NE 2nd Ave, Miami, FL 33132
 

Plantation

Formerly known as DPK, our Plantation campus has been a well-respected preschool and kindergarten within the Plantation community for more than 30 years. In 2018, it proudly joined the TLN Schools Group, which also includes the Montessori Institute of Broward in Davie and The Learning Nest Miami campuses. After extensive renovations, the school was rebranded as The Learning Nest Plantation in 2023.

We offer two distinct curriculum options to cater to the unique learning styles and preferences of our families:

  • Center-Based Learning
  • Montessori Philosophy

Our Classes

Downtown Miami & Edgewater

Montessori education is a hands-on, child-centered approach, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.

This method recognizes that each child is a unique individual with their own interests, abilities, and pace of development.

Our Montessori-trained teachers guide and support children as they work with specialized materials, fostering concentration, independence, self-confidence, critical thinking, and a love for learning.

We have two classrooms with mixed-age groups (where children of different ages learn together):

  • Toddlers: 18 months to Three-years-old.
  • Children’s House: Three-years-old to Five-Years-Old.

Having mixed-age classrooms fosters a supportive social community, promotes cooperation, and allows younger children to learn from older peers, while older children reinforce their knowledge by teaching and mentoring younger ones.

Each classroom is carefully prepared to meet the developmental needs (and challenge) children, while also allowing them to learn and succeed on their own. They are calm, orderly, and inviting spaces, with child-sized furniture, materials, and activities arranged on low shelves. This encourages freedom of movement, choice, and independent exploration.

Plantation 

At our Plantation campus, we offer a dynamic and engaging, center-based learning approach to early childhood education, grounded in the principles of active learning and play-based exploration

Our center-based approach ensures a well-rounded education that supports holistic development and prepares children for future academic success.

Our classrooms are thoughtfully organized into a variety of learning centers: blocks, reading corners, sensory, language, math, science, art, music, and dramatic play. 

Classrooms are divided by age groups:

  • 18 months to two-years-old.
  • Threes.
  • Fours  (Pre-K and VPK )
  • Kindergarten (Fives).

Our experienced teachers facilitate learning experiences, encourage problem-solving, and promote critical thinking through hands-on engagement.

We also have a Montessori classroom with mixed-age groups (where children of different ages learn together):

  • Toddlers: 18 months to Three-years-old.

Stefani Lozada

The Learning Nest is a fabulous preschool. Our little one started at just 18 months and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. Not only was our daughter super happy, she learned and grew so much during her time here. They run a great Montessori preschool that I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff and teachers are amazing. Everyone knows everyone and everyone helps everyone. It’s more of a family atmosphere which we loved. Ms. Ivonne who had our daughter from the very start was just incredible! She really brought out the best in our daughter. The director, assistants, and school coordinator are all wonderful and communicate so well with parents. 10 stars!

Amazing school. My son is 2yrs old. He wakes up every morning super excited to learn. His teacher Ms. Marianna and assistant teacher are both great; as well as the other staff. Everyone is helpful, informative, kind, professional. I love that they keep a log throughout the day of when my son ate, potty trained or diaper change, nap time. They send pictures often. I have seen that they do lot of daily activities that educate such as eating, washing hands, cleaning up after themselves. School teaches them to be independent in there own way. The school also goes with the same pace the child is going. Of course doing these things at home also help, but the children being surrounded with other children close to there age help a lot more. My husband and I are beyond grateful!
