ECO-SCHOOL
Suncoast Montessori Academy is an Eco-School registered with the National Wildlife Federation. Our school is committed to creating a non-toxic environment to give children the healthiest environment possible. We spend much of our day in the outdoor environment gardening, eating edible plants, observing life cycles, and playing!
Our edible playground is sprouting new life daily. Our butterfly garden is alive with life! We have so many monarchs we can’t keep enough milkweed in the garden to sustain them.
