La Piazza Academy, Miami FL

Great school where kids get to exploit their full potential through the Progressive education curriculum. Highly recommend to everyone.

My daughter Has been in the school since she was 2 years old, she’s now 5 and I absolutely love it. The learning environment is one of a kind. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and caring to the kids needs. Ms. Maria is the best! Love the whole staff.

Our daughter has only been a student at La Piazza for a few months in the 2-year-old class, Saplings, and we have already seen her grow into herself so much. We couldn't be happier with how she has come into her new routine and how close she has become with her teachers and the rest of the staff. She walks into school happy as can be, greeting everyone and leaves with stories of how her day has gone.

You can tell that Ms. Anely and Ms. Wendy care very much for the children and that they give them the tools and space to become more confident and independent. My daughter especially loves her Mandarin classes with Ms Nana. She is always coming home with a new word or phrase, which we try to repeat and she giggles at us for mispronouncing the word! She also loves her music and art classes- and is often singing songs she learned in school.

The school itself is beautiful, with lots of lovely spaces for the children to learn in. The parent events that we have attended have been lovely and unique. The school has a great sense of community.

Unfortunately the school follows the Miami-Dade Public School calendar, with week-long breaks and teacher workdays. As two full-time working parents, that leaves us with a lot of days searching for alternative care, which has been difficult. But if your lifestyle can manage that, then this is a great school for your child!

Our sons age 4 and 3 go to La Piazza since this year. La Piazza is a fantastic environment for kids. We have seen great development since they started attending. Kudos for teachers Marcia, Marlene and Helenne.

Our son had an amazing PreK experience at La Piazza - the teachers and staff are wonderful. The school is very focused on educational development and also making sure your child gains confidence and really enjoys the school / learning environment. I would recommend this school to anyone and have no doubt it's going to become a very well known school in the Grove.

Outstanding-my son is on his 3rd year now at La Piazza. We couldn't be happier with the teachers and staff. The mandarin classes and enrichment programs are a huge plus. We're so pleased that our youngest son will be attending in the fall. The pick-up and drop off are hassle-free.

Our child has been at La Piazza for 2 years now, including summer camps. We are very pleased with the supportive and nurturing environment of the school. We are definitely planning to come back for year 3!

The teachers and staff at La Piazza are warm, loving and welcoming. Every day I receive videos and photos of my pre-school-aged son in school via a shared app for all parents/teachers, and I'm so impressed with the creativity in the classroom. From music and language to science, counting and art I know my son is enriched and learning every day. The school does a great job of connecting parents through regular school-wide events and performances. We've recommended LPA to many friends.

Our daughter has thrived in this atmosphere where she has grown to become more and more confident each day about learning and taking-on academic challenges.
We have seen so many positive changes not only in the way she approaches learning but also values that are instilled. The way the school handles community awareness is wonderful as it is helping the children to understand their role in society, their responsibilities and to feel proud of their school. This is also giving them a huge sense of belonging. We love this school and are very grateful.

My daughter has attended La Piazza for the past 3 years, since she was in Kindergarten, and it has been more than I could have ever asked for. She is excited about school and loves to share the details of her projects and classroom activities with us. She is also proud to have started playing violin and piano. Her teachers have all been lovely and have each made a connection with her. Being at La Piazza has been a wonderful experience, and I whole-heartedly recommend this school!

This school is the real deal and worth every penny. If you are new to the area or have already lived here and considering LPA for your kid (s) then rest assured you're making the right choice if you enroll here. Everything about the school is first class and we've had nothing but positive experiences so far. You even get an app that keeps you updated on what's going on with your child throughout the day and they even post photo updates so it's cool to see what your child is doing while you're at work. The best!

My son started PK1 at La Piazza when he was 16 months old and became a strong walker. The past 3 years have been incredible watching him flourish into his own and develop an early love for learning. His teachers and staff have always been so incredibly loving, supportive and nurturing. For a child so young, I truly believe LPA was the best decision we made to introduce him to structure and the daily routine of going to school. The culture at LPA is so warm and safe as if he had a second home. He truly loves being part of something so special. He loves his school, friends and teachers. I would whole heartedly recommend La Piazza as a wonderful first school experience.

La Piazza Academy is truly a second home to my kids! I am forever grateful for everything that my kids have learned. All of the staff is very warm and go above and beyond, especially with the new normal. My kids have been safe and happy! 100% recommended!

We love La Piazza. We couldn’t be more pleased with the love, care and attention my child receives from the amazing staff. It feels more like a good family. The school itself is also extremely clean and welcoming. I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

La Piazza Academy is a truly special place. We could think of no where else to start our child's early emotional and cognitive learning experience. The diversity, the commitment of the teachers and the commitment to community are truly inspiring. Would highly recommend La Piazza Academy!

We have had such a great experience at La Piazza Academy since our daughter began earlier this school year. Although enrolling in school was a huge decision, especially during COVID, they did their absolute best to make us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire process.
My daughter loves her class and teachers and comes home every day with a new story or experience to share. I can honestly say La Piazza has been a blessing for our family during this time. I highly recommend this amazing school.

We have been a part of the LPA community for almost 4 years, since our oldest son started soon after the opening of the Coconut Grove campus. We have seen our son thrive in a caring and loving environment with incredible teachers and caregivers. When the pandemic started, we weren’t sure about what decision to take but we ultimately decided to continue because we realized that LPA is a big and important part of his life. We also decided to enroll our youngest who is now turning 18 months and it’s incredible to see how quickly he is adapting. The pandemic has proven difficult for all and although there are no guarantees the school is taking appropriate precautions to limit the risk of exposure. In addition to the wonderful teachers, staff and administrators we have made great friends with the other parents. For us, LPA is a big part of the Coconut Grove community and would highly recommend it.

My son absolutely loves La Piazza, we are glad we made the decision to send him back to school this year. He talks about his teachers and friends all the time and throughly enjoys the learning environment. Thank you!
