Who We Are
We are DPK, the newest addition to The Learning Nest Schools!
Developmental Preschool and Kindergarten, or DPK, is a school devoted to the development and growth of children in a healthy, inclusive, and intriguing learning environment. DPK opened its doors in 1989 and has since provided a well-known and well-respected learning environment in the Plantation community. In November of 2018 DPK was acquired by TLN Schools Group.
TLN Schools comes to DPK with a prestigious record of success. Our flagship school, The Montessori Institute of Broward in Davie, FL, is a Gold Seal school in operation since 2006 and The Learning Nest in Downtown Miami, has been operating successfully since 2011. TLN Schools brings its high standards in education while maintaining DPK’s strong community presence.
Our campus features several classrooms, with beautiful outdoor and covered spaces for different types of student activities, and a fenced-in pool. Our loving and professional staff – many who have been with the school for over ten years – are committed to the safety, well-being and education of your children.
