We are so grateful for this daycare and the incredible community they have created. All of the teachers are kind, caring, and guide the children with so much patience and love.
Ms. Gabby, Ms. Nicole, Ms. Alee, and the NIDO2 team clearly care deeply about each child. From day one, we have had complete trust in them to care for and nurture our son.
Ms. Yelena, Ms. Naveah, Ms. Hannah and the CH2 team have been so kind and patient with our daughter. They are her biggest cheerleaders every day and have helped her immensely through big milestones like potty training. We feel very lucky to be part of such a wonderful community.
Step by Step Maple Grove is absolutely wonderful. Our children love being at school and the staff are incredible. It's amazing to see how much our kids have learned in their early years of life and so much of that is done at Step by Step. The environment is calm and safe, and the children learn at their own individual pace/style. We can't thank Step by Step enough for being such a great place for our kids to grow and form their independence.
I am constantly impressed by how many skills my child learns at Step by Step - Maple Grove. All of the staff at the school are exceptional teachers who genuinely care for the children. My child has thrived in the Montessori environment, and absolutely loves going to daycare each day. I’m so thankful to have SBS-MG as my child’s daycare center and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a daycare center.
We have been going to SBS for many years now and we love it. Great teachers and my kids have learned so much. They have so much fun and I love that they do so many different fun activities.
The entire school is so welcoming and excited to have us! I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. They treat my baby with so much care and respect and LOVE.
Ms. Gabby and Ms. Nicole were fantastic with our youngest. His face lit up every morning when they would open the door. You can tell they genuinely love what they do.
Ms. Andrea and Ms. Pam are great with our oldest. They provide a safe environment to learn and be curious. He loves all the work cycles they do and coming home and sharing all the new things he has learned.
We have been here for 4 years and have two kids there and have loved all the teachers and staff. They communicate great, the lessons/play are perfect for the children. It is a great environment to learn and grow. Ms. Bre and Ms. Gina in NIDO-1 are the best! I get tons of updates and pictures and communication on activities. You can really see the effort they put in to care for the kids and go above and beyond expectations. I know my kids are safe and cared for!
How intentional the teachers are with activities and interactions with our children. We love that our children’s curiosity and interests are developed and encouraged. Also that they won’t “outgrow” the activities/work in the classroom as all the materials can be used in a more challenging way. Most importantly, our children feel loved and feel emotionally safe at school.
The teacher is so friendly and helpful these first two days! Viola seems to be having a good time and I feel valued as a parent. I'm also convinced that she's well cared for at the preschool and worry much less about her.
I am thrilled that SBS goes THROUGH kindergarten (which isn't actually required in MN)! I find so many benefits to keeping the individualized Montessori method of instruction/exploration for as long as possible for each child. Integrated ages of students in the class is another foundation not found in other learning models but brings a wide array of learning in itself. Keeping the building, and class size small, as long as possible, is another plus for our family. It is of high value to my family to have the small setting/environment for safety and intimacy factors. Knowing the community that my little one is around is of high importance. Additionally, the promotion of learning outside, as often as possible, vs. a strict schedule with limited outdoor learning, is a huge plus. I want my precious 'sponge' to soak up as much of what is good as possible and SBS creates the ideal environment for that.
