Our Preschool

Winhold Montessori Preschool in Palmetto Bay

Where Every Little One’s Journey is Celebrated

For over four decades, we’ve stayed true to a simple belief: childhood should be a happy place. Here, children are encouraged to be curious, to make mistakes, to feel proud of who they are. We follow the Montessori method not because it sounds good, but because it works — for your little one, your family, and for life.

A Legacy of Love, Learning, and Trust

Since 1982, Winhold Montessori Preschool in Palmetto Bay has been a place where childhood is cherished and learning feels natural. Guided by the Montessori philosophy, we create spaces where children explore freely, develop independence, and grow in a safe, caring environment.

At Winhold, everything is connected. What they pour today, helps them write tomorrow. What they count today, becomes their problem-solving skills later. It’s learning that grows with them. Our mission is simple: to nurture happy, confident children who carry a lifelong love for learning.

Teachers Who Lead With Heart

At Winhold, every educator is more than a teacher — they are guides, mentors, and caring companions in your child’s learning journey.
Our team is certified, experienced, and passionate about supporting each child’s individuality. They don’t just teach; they listen, understand, and inspire.

Classrooms Built for Curious
Little Hands

Our spaces are designed with purpose. From child-sized furniture to open shelves filled with hands-on Montessori materials, each detail invites movement, exploration, and calm concentration. Natural light fills the space, creating a peaceful atmosphere where little ones can learn, create, and grow at their own rhythm. With small class sizes, we ensure that every child feels seen, supported, and safe.

Conveniently located on South Dixie Highway, just minutes from Old Cutler Road — perfect for busy parents in Palmetto Bay.

Nourishing Bodies and Minds

From their first bite to their last sip, food at Winhold is handled with the same love and thoughtfulness we bring to every part of their day.
Families can bring meals from home or opt for our flexible lunch service — always balanced, child-friendly, and comforting. Nutritious snacks are included both in the morning and afternoon.

Rooted in Integrity, Connected to Excellence
