Mrs. Payan's School

For years we had heard Mrs. Payan's was "the best in Miami," and we only wish we had started sooner because it most certainly is! Our daughter, who has attended two other schools previously, began here during the pandemic and it was one of the wisest decisions our family has made. Academically, the school is outstanding. The individualized attention, authentic Montessori approach, exceptional teaching staff, and diverse curriculum, including Spanish, French, and the arts, are superb. Moreover, the warm, compassionate, intimate environment cannot be overstated. Our daughter is thriving and comes home happy and enthusiastic about learning every day. She enjoys being in the classroom just as much as she loves playing in Mrs. Payan's beautiful yard and garden. We have only the highest praise for the school and its wonderful teachers. Mrs. Payan's is an absolute jewel.

Our daughter started at Mrs. Payan's school when she was 3. Mrs. Payan spent a full month trying to find "the key" to fit into the "lock" that was keeping our daughter from integrating into the excitement of learning.
She had the patience of a Saint!
Enrolling in Mrs. Payan's school was one of the best decisions that we made for our daughter!
This is where she learned to love reading. Our daughter continues to be an avid reader and has maintained straight A's throughout her years of schooling at Westminster Christian School, where she is in 7th grade.
If there is a spot open, sign your child up!!
You will be very pleased with your decision, and it will pay you and your child a lifetime of benefits.

My family and I met Mrs. Payan 18 years ago when my oldest son started preschool. She is an amazing educator and all 3 of our children attended Payan’s school and continued on to Sunset Elementary, then Ransom Everglades and now our oldest is at Carnegie Mellon University. We have continued to refer our friends and family to Mrs. Payan school. This school is a true gem and so are the staff and the one and only, Mrs. Payan!!

This pre-school is a gem. The experience with my 4-year old son has been fantastic. He loves this school so much. The teachers are knowledgeable, nurturing and loving. They stay true to the Montessori method while catering to each child’s developmental strengths. To enter the classroom is to witness children quietly engaged in independent learning. The teacher to child ratio is unheard of in this city known for crowded class sizes. Aside from core subjects, the children learn art, French and Spanish, but most of all, they are all happy and well cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend Mrs. Payan’s school.

If you want to send your child to a place where he/she experiences the care and love as with a second family, then you're absolutely right here. Our son started a few months ago and the whole team is taking so much care of him, is supporting and educating him (as they do with all children) in a very individual and fascinating way. A wonderful place with fun, love, patience and a lot of education. Many thanks to the whole team
