Our daughter started attending this Montessori school 3 months ago, at 18 mo. of age. I was initially worried because she is quite spunky and has A LOT of energy, but she has learned and evolved so much since starting school and everything has gone well! The toddler room teachers are extremely kind and patient, and our daughter is always excited to "go to school" and play/learn with the teachers and other kids. She is also always happy when we pick her up. We love how the older kids "help" the younger ones, and that there is a huge, shaded outdoor space where the children play at least twice per day. We have had no negative encounters here, and have felt that the school is willing to listen to our suggestions and requests, and work with us to the extent practicable. Of course, the initial transition to daycare from being home was challenging, and every parent has their own preferences and opinions when it comes to childcare, but I would highly recommend this school!
I was going to enroll my son here but had medical problems that caused me to not be able to do so and they charged me for his enrollment anyways and an application fee which I had never turned in. I asked for a refund and they said they would do so but still have not refunded my money and now will not communicate back with me.
Daughter loves her teachers. My wife loves getting daily updates with pictures I would recommend this place to anyone
I am beyond impressed. We searched for over a year for a daycare that was more than just keeping our daughter safe but helped her grow and develop her beautiful curious mind. THIS IS THE PLACE! We travel 45 min and would travel even further for the quality of GBMS. Having taught at a Montessori many years ago, I knew this was something I was interested in but wanted to make sure that this was a place where our girl felt welcomed as well. She did immediately! The teachers and staff are sweet, and knowledgeable. Our sweet girl was potty training within the first 30 days there and while it was not their responsibility we trusted that they would help us during this time away to make sure she stayed on track! They were super supportive and we are so happy to have them on our team. Moving forward, she comes home singing songs in Spanish too! Which is important for us, for exposure. During this crazy COVID pandemic the staff has put together packets FULL of activities for us to do at home, in addition to ZOOM calls where she can interact with her peers! She is only 21 months now and as parents we are thrilled that they understand how important her education is to us at such a tender age. We feel confident that as she continues to attend she will be VERY well prepared for public or private school, although we really hope they continue to add grades to their curriculum. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Our daughter started attending Gulf Breeze Montessori at 18 months old and even at that age we have seen such a difference in her independence. She took to the learning environment instantly and it is clear the teachers are deeply invested in the children's well-being. The first day we picked her up, she was already demonstrating things she learned for us. We get updates on what she is doing during the day as often as the teachers can, which we receive directly to our phones with pictures and captions. We absolutely love this facility for our daughter. I highly recommend them for parents looking to give there little ones more than the typical "daycare" experience while you are off at work.
Our daughter started at GBMS in February 2020. When she was at a previous center, she tended to be extremely clingy at the end of the day. She now enjoys waking into school in her own and is happier at the end of the day. Her vocabulary has increased and we like that the school encourages exploration. The 1-3 year old classroom is larger than any other center we toured and we love the natural concept of their spacious outdoor play space. Some positive changes have been made by the program in the few short weeks we have been there: almost daily pictures and updates are sent via app, a suggestions box for families, and are expanding their outdoor play area. Due to the COVID we have not been able to have much contact with the staff, they took serious early precautions to minimize traffic inside the school. However, the interactions with staff previously have been positive. We have not had any incidents thus far.
We have been there since GBMS opened and love it!!! Great staff, owners and beautiful campus!
My daughter attends GBM & loves her teachers and classmates. We appreciate the ‘warm’ environment being offered as well as the enriching curriculum.
Gulf Breeze Montessori has been a great preschool for our son. He absolutely loves going to school everyday, and wishes he could even go on the weekends! We have also been very impressed with how much he has learned in the short time he has been there!
We absolutely LOVE this school. Our daughter began going around 18 months and has made advancements that we truly don't think would have happened if we had continued with our home day care. She loves her teachers and frequently asks to go see them when she isn't there. I can't say enough good things about this school. I would highly recommend them to any parent looking to do something outside the traditional day care setting.
