Emerging Minds Montessori Academy (EMMA), founded in 2008, is an authentic and private Montessori school serving children ages 2 through 8th grade in Delray Beach, Florida.
Our program is designed to fulfill the needs of the whole
child. We strongly follow the principals of Dr. Maria Montessori,
which is based on the philosophy that children learn best when
engaged in purposeful activity. It is our position that every child
is an individual who deserves to be respected and honored and
should be given lessons according to his/her unique style and
potential in a clean, safe, well-equipped environment.
Our teachers, staff, and families are partners in promoting
good character and values, such as kindness, compassion, respect
for all living things, as well as respect and care for the
environment. Together we are committed to helping the child become
aware of his/her responsibility and importance within the
community. It is our goal to provide every child with a strong
academic foundation, to help build a positive self-image, encourage
continued community service, and to inspire them to become
self-motivated independent, lifelong learners.
Emerging Minds Montessori Academy fully embraces
diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of gender,
race, national origin, religious beliefs, age, marital status,
sexual orientation, or disability.

After moving to Florida, we tried two other preschools briefly before landing at Emerging Minds Montessori Academy. It came highly recommended from a professional colleague in education whose judgement I trust. We were not disappointed! We're currently in our fifth year, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. My son started here in the toddler room and is now in 1st grade in the Lower Elementary classroom, and I have a daughter starting there this fall. The teachers are outstanding, the staff is fantastic, and the school just attracts the nicest kids and parents. They've really created something special here -- an environment that is warm, loving, fun and engaging, and filled with truly happy kids who have developed an intrinsic love for learning. It is definitely academically oriented and challenging, but it is child-led and at their own pace. Emerging Minds is the real deal as far as truly authentic Montessori (AMS member) schools go. I love that they go up to 8th grade and continue the mixed-age classroom and Montessori method of teaching.

This school is very loving and warm. It was the perfect place to send my children. My first and second graders had attended one of the most competitive private programs only to feel "my teachers do not care about me". Not here at EMMA. We truly value and appreciate the warmth of the teaching style at Emerging Minds.
