The Montessori School of North Miami was founded in 1999 by Evelyn Lopez-Couto, whose journey as a mother inspired a deeper understanding of how children learn and thrive. When her son was diagnosed with dyslexia and dysgraphia, Evelyn discovered the Montessori method and the profound impact it could have on a child’s confidence, independence, and love of learning.

With a vision to create a place where every child could be seen, respected, and supported, Evelyn opened the school to serve all learners — including neurotypical children and those with diverse learning needs.

Today, our school continues to honor that vision by providing a nurturing Montessori environment where children are encouraged to explore, grow, and develop their unique potential.
