The staff are truly amazing, they all clearly care so much for the students and are well trained. We feel so fortunate to have found such high quality care, it made my return to work easier because I know he is in good hands.

Stepping Stones is an excellent school. I find Montessori schools refreshing among the choices…read moretoday. I enrolled my son here at 18 months old when he joined the toddler casa. He is currently a second year in the primary class. He has thrived in this atmosphere and without question stands out from his non Montessori peers. Stepping Stones is a private entity with reasonable tuition rates. I love the fact the lead guides have been there for a long time and are really invested in the welfare (saftey and development) of the students. There is a focus on the environment/nature, foreign language (Spanish), music, art and Yoga. This place is pretty impressive. Many parents send their children to traditional day cares where they learn little. You just have to observe to believe that the Montessori method works. I come from a traditional schooling approach and am amazed by this school, faculty, instruction and the resulting kids.

I have 2 children at Lakes Area Montessori…read more It is a great experience for the kids. They have learned a lot from the teachers and the staff. The staff really cares for the children.

Excellent school! Great facility. Both of my sons went here with very positive experiences. They…read morehave now graduated and one is at U of M Ann Arbor and the other one is headed there. This Montessori school provides an excellent base for young children. You can only attend until 5th grade. Teachers are all good, front office staff is as well. My daughter currently goes here (4th grade) and has learned so much. The academics are on point and really challenges children. But your child is not pushed, if teachers see they are not doing well, they try to help and place your child where it is the best fit. The extracurricular activities are good - Art, Spanish, Computers, and Gym are important and done well here. It's a very diverse school. Tuition is about 15K per year but worth it!

We enrolled our child at Milford Montessori when he was 4 and it was his first school experience…read more From day 1 he was labeled as "busy" by the lead teacher. It only snowballed from there. They insisted that we contact a specialist after a month of school (3 days a week). After requesting information from the school regarding a supposed incident to relay to the specialist, we were ignored for weeks. However, the school had no issue writing incident reports requiring our signature about the smallest things after that point, such as him jumping on a book. Yet we never received an incident report requiring our signature the day our child had an injury to the face from falling into a cabinet, interestingly enough. The specialist was a large expense out of pocket, but both his pediatrician and that specialist stated it is common for 4 year olds to be "busy" and that the teachers should be working with students instead of seeking out medical evaluation at this age. Suddenly, my child started crying before school, which was uncharacteristic up until that point. This is when we decided to make a change for him. When we informed the school leadership we were switching schools, they did not ask why, did not seem to care, all they did was wish us the best and told us his belongings would be outside waiting for us in a paper bag. We are now able to watch our child at his new school via livestream video whenever he is present in class and he is no "busier" than any of the other 4 year olds there. I would think twice about enrolling your child in this school.
