Every member of our team is more than just a teacher. We are facilitators of learning, advisors, guides, learners, and friends. As members of the academic community, we are passionately committed to cultivating the strengths in each child as students embark on the path to lifelong learning. Working in teams, our teachers value the responsibilities for academic excellence.
We believe children are unique, highly capable beings who develop at their own pace. It is the role of educators to nurture, support, and celebrate each child as an individual. We cultivate the ability to wonder, to question, to explore, to discover, to think critically, and to be compassionate as students pursue their interests while mastering the skills required to be happy, effective members of society.
The strength of our village is directly linked to a child's success in school. Parents, teachers, peers, and the community all contribute to the well-rounded education of a child. Every parent in the school is a valued member of our parent volunteer organization. The parent volunteer organization provides numerous opportunities in which every parent can find a comfortable way to offer their time, talent, energy and ideas in support of the school.
Our preschool is a four-year learning community that is home to joyful, nurturing, creative learning experiences. Our highly-qualified teachers work closely with parents to create a curriculum that grows from the children's own interests and immerses them in the joys of discovery. Our education program tracks closely to developmental stages of early childhood.
Learners first become mindful of their own socioemotional wellness - their feelings, emotions and how to channel their energy into positive outlets. Then, the focus shifts to being mindful of our community - understanding it's unique needs while respecting the diversity each member contributes to our group.

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

Both of my children have attended La Piazza Academy where there is a strong community of parents and children. The owners, faculty, and staff foster a warm community experience that enrichens learning and kindness. My children savored the time there with their teachers and friends enjoying going to school and when it applied remaining in the after care school program. I never had to worry about my kids when they were there because they were looked after well and really liked “staying in aftercare”. Most of the time, my 6 yo would ask me to pick him up later because he has so much fun with his

We have had a wonderful experience with La Piazza for both our children and I would strongly recommend this school for the early stages of childhood education. The staff is very caring and the main teachers have been great with the children. The pre-school facilities are nice given the school size, with spacious classrooms and plenty of natural light. We are big fans of progressive education and the Montessori & Regional’s Emilia approach has worked well for our family. After the successful summer camp experience with demanding COVID protocols, we’re happy to be starting our 3rd school year

Everything about LPA is amazing! The school provides an ideal enviromental for its students. Not only teachers, all the staff go above and beyond for the kids. The parental involvement is top notch. The food is delicious and healthy. Right now due to this difficult time we are going through, LPA is doing everything to keep the children safe and stress-free. THANK YOU!!!

I could not be happier with this school. Both my son and daughter attend. I started them at 2 years old, had a brief stint at catholic school and then returned. My kids are happy and thriving at this school. They are actually EXCITED and EAGER to learn. Everyone from the administration to the teachers is caring, loving and attentive. The classes are small so your child gets one on one attention that is just impossible in most schools. I can't say enough great things about this school.

We moved from out of town to Miami in November and registering the kids at La Piazza was the best decision we could have taken. They made the transition so easy. The kids fit right in from Day One. From the director, to the teachers, to the cleaning lady, I wouldn't choose any other Pre-K school than La Piazza. A truly special place

La Piazza was a fantastic home for our daughter. We had a challenging situation and had to evaluate several schools in the area due to the previous closure of my 2 year old daughter's daycare. The group at La Piazza exceeded our expectations and made the past year a wonderful growth period for my daughter. They are caring, devoted, kind, and provide wonderful insights and updates regularly. Ms. Luko in particular is fantastic!

Love Love Love this school. I started my daughter here at 2.5 years old and she is 4 years old now. Teachers are awesome and so helpful. My daughters teacher even helped with the potty tarining with more pataience than I had. Just an amzing loving environment and the owner and prinicipal are so involved. Will be sad to leave as they don't offer Kinder.

My son loves La Piazza. He runs to the door every day excited to go to school. The teachers are fantastic and truly care about my child's well-being and education. I also can't say enough good things about Monica, the head of school. She is always present, available, and communicative. You can tell that everyone at the school loves working there. It's a great environment and I am so happy my son goes there.

I heard about this place so went for a quick tour. It's nice and clean but small, the outdoor play area is partially shaded but tiny and lack of play structures/toys. The Artelier is great. The kids seemed content enough. There's no parking except for metered spaces on the street. It's only a 10-months program, and the tuition is about 40% more than the other top daycare schools in the area. They are very secretive about their holiday calendar, wouldn't give me a copy of it; from what I gathered, they are closed on every single holiday, one week for spring break (since

La piazza has a beautiful appearance with little to offer on an educational standpoint. I was so excited to have started there as their doors opened, such a beautiful school however as time went on educational issues along with poor teacher skills became apparent. For the amount of money that is paid in tuition this should be a well synchronized machine ready to offer your children a wide array of experiences and establish educational goals that are met through the Reggio Emilio philosophy however that is not quite where this school is at.
For the future it may be a good idea but for right
