Our son attended this school for 8 wonderful years. All of their head guides are properly Montessori trained, which does not happen in all schools. And their staff are so loving and respectful to the children and real partners to the parents. The overall community is great. And their middle school program is on a beautiful farm! Our son transitioned well to a public high school and is now in the honors college of a university. We love Stepping Stones Montessori School!

SSMS has been a fantastic choice for my daughter, I couldn't be happier. Love the Montessori way, (which I was new to), it's so effective I have begun incorporating their methods into my parenting with wonderful results. The staff is so caring and knowledgable regarding; teaching, development and growing children through play and study. Never been so happy about a decision for my daughter...
