Garden Montessori School is a unique accredited educational experience for students 18 months of age through Kindergarten.
GMS is accredited by the Florida Kindergarten Council (FKC). We are also a Full Member School with the American Montessori Society (AMS) meeting all standards of excellence in accordance with the national guidelines. GMS became the first “Gold Seal Level II Certified” Green preschool in the state of Florida in 2009 by a National Third Green Audit Program. We are proud to announce our elevation from a Level II certification to a Level III after our 2013 audit.
It is the objective of GMS to provide many opportunities for a child to develop social and emotional skills necessary for solving problems respectfully. We encourage using freedoms wisely to make good choices, help develop an organized approach to critical thinking skills, and finally, most importantly, nurture their love for learning.
Our Mission is to provide a nurturing environment with an encouraging, stimulating program based on the teaching principles of Dr. Maria Montessori allowing children to develop the skills to be responsible, productive, independent, and respectful to themselves, others, the community and the world as future leaders.
