Welcome to Montessori Stepping Stones where we are committed to a genuine Montessori program. May this become a magical journey of discovery for you!
We are a private school located in the metropolitan Detroit area. Founded in 1984, Montessori Stepping Stones is a school for children that is based on the principles and practices of Dr. Maria Montessori. Nurturing, dedicated teachers create a stimulating child-centered environment that fosters independence, self-esteem, responsibility, self-motivation, and academic competency.
As a responsible parent you must ask yourself why you would choose Montessori and this school, in particular, for your young child. The single most important answer to that question is that this is a success-based program. All people thrive on success, and it is human nature to want to do more of what we do well. In the case of young children, it is absolutely critical that the bulk of their experiences are positive and successful. The early childhood years are so powerful that they affect the way one feels about himself/herself forever. What do you want your child to grow up believing about himself? Will she believe that she is intelligent, capable, independent, and hard working? Will he believe that he is liked by others, worthy of love, and deserving of respect?
In a quality Montessori program, you can count on constant positive experiences for your child. You can be sure that she will be genuinely respected by the teachers which, in turn, develops a peaceful atmosphere where children treat each other in the same manner. You can be sure that your child will be recognized as a unique individual who can work his way through a remarkable curriculum as she masters it. Most importantly, you can be confident that your investment in these earliest years will have a wonderful and significant influence for your child that will last right into adulthood.
