We love the structure of the Montessori school day and truly believe it’s helping our kids develop in the best way.
One thing that we would love to see is a one pager or something similar, especially transitioning, on best practices for each room. Sometimes it feels implied that we know things that we haven’t ever been told. There is some information in the packet that we fill out when they move out. But a separate one pager would be amazing to continue to reference.
The environment for my kids is not only well-organized but also warm and welcoming. It's a place where they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
The staff at Step-By-Step in St. Anthony are absolutely phenomenal. I'd like to specifically mention the director, Sheri. She is so incredibly good at her job and gets to know every child and family personally and makes sure each child is thriving. My child has flourished at this school. He often displays skills and knowledge that I didn't know he was learning. I can't recommend this place enough.
Are child is very engaged with learning and excited to go everyday. It has been a really good experience for her and great prep for going to kindergarten.
I like how engaged the teachers are. They seem to really care about the kids. I really enjoy all the activities that are structured, and how clearly it encourages growth with our son.
I love the toddler room teachers, how they genuinely care for each student in the room and knowing that my child is loved while I am at work. My toddler loves school. I also like that the school leader personally knows my kid and occasionally can include him in a special activity. We also appreciate that school is open most of the time and doesn't not take every bank holiday off.
My child has absolutely thrived at Step by Step. The staff and teachers are phenomenal and are clearly passionate about the work they do. I would recommend this school to anyone.
