Reviews of Montessori Stepping Stones (Kindergarten)

Karen Morrish

How many people can honestly say that they love going to work? Well, I do! Our school is such a warm and friendly environment for the staff and children, and I am thankful to be a part of the amazing amount of learning and discovery that is happening here. At Montessori Stepping Stones, students learn with beautiful materials from certified teachers in an atmosphere that allows them to stretch themselves without a fear of failure. I only wish I knew more about this method when my own children were young. They would have loved this school!

Worst place to take your child they charge you so much to bring your child there to neglect them then told me and my wife that it would be best if we found a different place for our daughter

I fell in love with Montessori Stepping Stones the first moment I stepped inside. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the classrooms were gorgeous and filled with beautiful displays of Montessori materials. That was more than nine years ago and now I have two children that attend Montessori Stepping Stones. Through the authentic Montessori environment, both of them have been able to explore and develop a love of learning in a safe atmosphere of acceptance created by a warm and caring staff. As a result, they have been able to develop into the amazingly unique individuals that they are and are truly valued as people in the classroom community. The Montessori environment, which includes multi-age classrooms, provides a unique opportunity for children to develop life skills including leadership and working with others. It is also an environment which inspires exploration, creativity, and empathy. As a result, my ten year old daughter is an exceptionally well-rounded individual that displays a quiet confidence and has acquired an incredible knowledge of herself. As a parent, I developed such respect and affection for the school that I was inspired to pursue further education to become a certified Montessori teacher and started working at Montessori Stepping Stones over three years ago. My love of the Montessori philosophy and this school continues to grow daily.

I love that my daughter has a smile on her face going to school : ) She has been at MSS for over 6 years and has not once said she didn't want to go! She loves and respects her teachers and receives the same in return from them. I could not ask for a better school for her to spend her preschool, elementary, and middle school years at!! Thank you to all the wonderful teachers and friends we have made at MSS!

I went to this school from preschool to 3rd grade and it was simply incredible. I remember learning all of the capitals in the world. We even learned German! Like what school does that these days. Ms Diane was amazing and I still have a book she gave to me with a personal message. Truly wish we had a school like this where I live.

As the owner and director of Montessori Stepping Stones, I have had the privilege of building and developing our school since 1983. Not only do the staff, parents, and students bring daily personal joy to my life; this school continues to be my work of passion. I hope to meet with you to share the details!

Upon deciding to send my son to a Montessori school I visited several schools. I remember making my decision to enroll him at Montessori Stepping Stones before the end of the tour. I cannot be more happy with that choice. He began in the infant/toddler program and continued into the preschool program. The teachers are wonderful and the environment is beautiful and encourages peace. I am truly thankful for the caring and compassionate teachers and administrators at Montessori Stepping Stones.

During my tour as a prospective parent, I was met with a friendly, positive and informed lifelong educator and a beautifully prepared, authentic Montessori environment. I left knowing that this peaceful, affirming school is where I hoped my children would spend their days. Four years later, I am just as confident in my decision. Each of my three children has a different temperament, and a unique set of strengths and challenges. I can tell that their teachers care for them as people and interact with them thoughtfully - with purpose, respect and understanding. Problem solving is handled with creativity in order to find workable solutions. I appreciate that the lessons can be tailored, so children can repeat difficult concepts without a negative stigma or move ahead quickly if that is the pace best suited to their needs. Additionally, I believe there is great value in the way the Montessori approach incorporates freedom of movement while developing of self-control. This school is faithfully meeting the needs of each individual child with a fabulous teacher to child ratio, and the staff is guiding students toward academic and personal growth.

I hold a bachelors and a masters degree in the subject of music, and have been a teacher for 35 years. I came to Montessori 25 years ago, and I hope to never leave . From the first moment, I could sense something different in the students. They were kind and respectful.This comes from a very highly trained and certified Montessori staff.I myself, was trained in the Montessori music program from Sanford Jones, a certified master Montessorian from Bergamo, Italy. I can tell you that your children could not be in better hands.

I had the privilege of attending Montessori Stepping Stones from preschool through 5th grade. The education I received formed a strong foundation which helped me to succeed in an International Baccalaureate high school, college, and now graduate school. In addition to academic skills and a love of learning, I also left with lifelong friends. The school culture fosters the development of caring, confident, inquisitive, and open-minded individuals. Students leave MSS well-prepared for whatever adventure awaits them next.
