In this multi-age environment, teachers guide each child according to individual readiness, while developing a joyful love of learning at our Montessori preschool Miami campus.
Building independence through purposeful everyday work
Practical Life activities help preschool children develop independence, coordination, concentration, and a sense of order. Through meaningful hands-on tasks such as pouring, sorting, cleaning, and caring for their environment, children strengthen confidence and learn to take responsibility for themselves and their community.
Refining the senses to understand the world
Sensorial learning helps children explore, classify, and make sense of the world through sight, sound, touch, smell, and movement. Using specialized Montessori materials, preschoolers develop observation skills, attention to detail, and the ability to compare, discriminate, and organize information.
Inspiring rhythm, listening, and joyful expression
Music encourages preschoolers to explore rhythm, melody, movement, and self-expression in a joyful and engaging way. Through singing, listening, and participation, children build confidence, coordination, memory, and a deeper appreciation for sound and pattern in our preschool program.
Creativity, exploration, and confident self-expression
Art gives children the freedom to explore materials, textures, color, and form while expressing their ideas in meaningful ways. These experiences support creativity, fine motor development, concentration, and pride in independent work.
Laying the foundation for communication and literacy
Language development in Preschool builds vocabulary, listening, speaking, pre-reading, and early writing skills through rich conversation and hands-on materials. In the Montessori environment, children are guided naturally toward literacy as they grow in confidence and curiosity.
Making abstract ideas clear through hands-on discovery
Math in the Preschool program begins with concrete Montessori materials that help children understand numbers, quantity, sequence, and operations in a meaningful way. This hands-on approach builds logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a strong foundation for future mathematical learning.
Encouraging curiosity, observation, and discovery
Science invites preschoolers to ask questions, investigate, and better understand the natural world around them. Through exploration and guided discovery, children develop curiosity, critical thinking, and an early appreciation for how things work.
Expanding understanding of people, places, and the wider world
Cultural Studies help children develop awareness of geography, nature, traditions, and communities beyond their immediate surroundings. These lessons nurture curiosity, respect for diversity, and a growing sense of connection to the world.
Growing with confidence, empathy, and self-control
Social-emotional learning supports children as they build relationships, manage feelings, and develop self-confidence in a caring environment. Through daily classroom life, preschoolers learn empathy, responsibility, cooperation, and the self-discipline that supports both academic and personal growth.
Active learning through movement and exploration
Outdoor time gives preschoolers opportunities to move, explore, and strengthen their physical development in a natural setting. It also supports social interaction, independence, coordination, and joyful discovery beyond the classroom.
Each day in Preschool at AMS is thoughtfully designed to balance independence, discovery, and joyful learning. While the rhythm of the day may vary by classroom, every experience is guided by individual readiness, nurturing concentration, confidence, curiosity, and a love of learning.

For young learners, progress is understood as an ongoing journey shaped by observation, guidance, and readiness. In Alexander Montessori School’s Preschool Program, children learn in a multi-age Children’s House where teachers stay with them over time, allowing them to follow each child’s continuous development in a nurturing and productive way.
Teachers observe each child closely, adapting lessons to individual readiness and supporting growth at a pace that feels natural and confident. Families are kept closely connected to this journey through parent-teacher conferences, newsletters, Friday folders, and emails, creating a strong partnership between school and home while celebrating each child’s progress along the way.
In Preschool, young learners build essential life competencies that support success in school and beyond. Rooted in the Montessori method and its emphasis on independence, the program helps children develop concentration, focus, social and communication skills, emotional regulation, responsibility, problem-solving, critical thinking, and an understanding of time, routine, and order at our Montessori preschool Miami campus.
At AMS, these abilities grow through hands-on learning, purposeful routines, and guided choice within the Children’s House environment. Children learn to work independently, interact respectfully with others, manage their emotions, and approach everyday tasks with confidence and care. In this way, the preschool experience nurtures not only early learning, but also the personal habits and character strengths that prepare children for lifelong growth.
Young preschoolers begin their language journey through the Spanish Immersion Program, where Spanish becomes a natural part of the day through conversation, songs, routines, lessons, and hands-on Montessori activities at our Spanish immersion school Miami program.
This meaningful, age-appropriate exposure helps build listening, comprehension, and expressive language skills while fostering confidence in communication. In a diverse school community, it also nurtures cultural awareness, curiosity, adaptability, and respect for others.
As students grow, this strong foundation supports flexible thinking, independence, and the ability to connect with people and perspectives from different backgrounds.
Kindergarten Program
Our Montessori Kindergarten in Miami is the Preschool year where children build independence, deepen learning, and prepare confidently for what comes next. In a Montessori environment, learning is cumulative, so this final year builds on the strong foundation developed through earlier hands-on experiences in the Children’s House.As children move from concrete exploration to greater abstraction, they deepen their understanding across subject areas, strengthen independence, and gain the confidence to apply what they know in meaningful ways - while enjoying milestone experiences such as their first field trip to see The Nutcracker.
Spanish Immersion Preschool
Our Spanish Immersion Preschool in Miami helps children build bilingual confidence through joyful, hands-on learning. Available in select Preschool classrooms, this Montessori preschool in Miami introduces Spanish naturally throughout the day with native-speaking teachers, while staying rooted in the Montessori approach that nurtures independence, curiosity, and social-emotional growth.In our warm and engaging environment, children develop early language skills, strengthen communication, and discover the joy of learning from the very start.
English for Speakers of Other Languages
Pre-Kindergarten students who are developing English proficiency receive targeted support through Alexander Montessori School’s ESOL program.Designed for students learning English as a new language, ESOL builds key communication skills including listening comprehension, oral expression, pronunciation, early reading, and writing. The program also supports cultural integration and is coordinated with classroom instruction, helping children grow in confidence as they participate more fully in daily learning and social routines.
My husband is an alumnus, so choosing Alexander felt like a natural decision for our family. Both of our children are now above grade level in every subject. My five-year-old is reading first-grade books. But more than academics, we've built lifelong friendships here.
