An accredited preschool and elementary school, Le Petit Papillon Montessori School has taught students in the Miami Beach, Florida, community for more than 12 years. The school's campus is comprised of vibrant classroom buildings, an art studio and gathering room, and a brand new science laboratory. The grounds of Le Petit Papillon Montessori School also include lush vegetation, native wildlife, an outdoor play area, and a sports court. Additionally, each class has space for a garden in the school's greenhouse. Every year, students learn about biology and environmentalism by planting and caring for a variety of vegetables and other plants.
Dedicated to helping children understand the importance of caring for the world around them, the school regularly incorporates lessons on environmental awareness into its curriculum. Furthermore, students participate in beach clean-up projects, recycle in the classroom, and learn to reduce energy consumption. Presently, the school is also involved in a local eco-art program called the Reclamation Project.
