Miramelinda Montessori School

Miramelinda Montessori School was an amazing experience for child and our family. Lymi and her team of educators create a safe and wonderful environment for the children to explore and thrive. I strongly recommend Miramelinda for any parent looking for a school for their child.

We've sent both of our children to Miramelinda since 2020 (one currently enrolled) and have had an exceptional experience with the school as a whole. The Head of School, Lymichelle, is a gem in our community: a top notch educator with the most solid understanding of the Montessori philosophy of anyone I have met. Her integration of the philosophy is apparent in the measured approach she takes with children's needs; the warm and inviting atmosphere she creates; and of course, the joyful experience our children have had. We chose Miramelinda because every teacher in the room is trained to observe and provide individualized attention to each child as needed. We've noticed that each interaction with each child is respectful, each material chosen is deliberate and each decision Lymi and her team make is intentional, which gives our son a supportive and caring environment to thrive. Joining the Miramelinda community has been the best decision we've made for our two boys, and we couldn't be happier with the foundation of education and care they have received at such a young age.

We were so lucky to find Miramelinda and Lymi for our son! It was our first school experience and the constant communication, love, support, and learning environment were spectacular. At two, we were amazed at how much our son grew in his independence, his appreciation of art, and how proud he was to contribute to helping the classroom community. He was excited to learn to mop, prepare snack, and assist his classmates, whenever he could. The bilingual learning environment is excellent, practical, and a wonderful immersive way for a young person to learn language.

The bilingual, Montessori education that our children received at Miramelinda was nothing short of phenomenal. Lymichelle has a gift for working with children (and their parents) and we could not be more grateful to have had our children be part of the Miramelinda community. We knew very little about Montessori education when our children started at Miramelinda and the parent education nights were incredibly helpful in opening our eyes. After Miramelinda our children continued in Montessori until Kindergy and the foundation that Lymichelle lays for children set them up very well for this.

Miramelinda has a special place in our heart. My daughter attended this school and learned so many critical things. She learned Spanish (some of her first words were in Spanish - “Ayuda!”), she learned how to use the toilet thanks to older students’ examples and her kind teachers patience and guidance, she learned how to put on her jacket by herself (crucial for Boston winters). But most of all, she learned how to be a wonderful, kind, curious, and well adjusted little person. Montessori is a wonderful model for children, but the head teacher Lymichelle is in a class all her own. We are grateful and feel extraordinarily blessed that she was our daughter’s teacher. We don’t live in MA anymore, but every time we’re back we stop at Miramelinda school.
