Northstar Montessori Preschool

We believe that children are not drones and need an opportunity to learn and experience the world with their own hands and not every item needs to be constrained to one form, believe that a child needs to have the freedom to smell the flowers, grow and learn with their friends, live life to the fullest every minute of every day, and most of all be HAPPY!

Our son started at NorthStar Montessori when he was 18 months old, and now he will be going into kindergarten. I thought it only fitting to leave an outstanding review as a small THANK YOU to all the wonderful teachers at NorthStar! I whole heartedly recommend this school.

FACTS from my viewpoint:
-Truly follow the Montessori principles and provide the children with independence, autonomy, and respect.
-Children and parents make lasting relationships with families.
-Our son learned, grew, and was more successful because of NorthStar.
-Teachers are incredible and have a real passion to work with and teach the students.
-We are going to miss NorthStar!

I have sent two of my kids to Northstar Montessori (both locations) and the only reason my third one didn't get to go is because we moved to Hong Kong!  Now my older two kids attend one of the most competitive international schools in this global city, and they are doing great!  Their educational foundation was built here at Northstar.  I could not thank Tami and the teachers enough. You guys are amazing and we miss you all!!

I have two children who have grown up at this fabulous place.  I really feel my children are cared for impeccably.  I read the negative review and couldn't disagree more.  My 3.5 year old has not missed ONE DAY of school and she has been with Northstar since she was 5 months old!!  She has never gotten anything but a runny nose after her first week!  I know they UV the rooms to minimize germs!!  I cannot say enough good things about the teachers.  Have never had any issues with phone usage or social media.  In fact, they have taken and sent me some of my fav pics of my kids.  They are my friends and part of our family now.  My kids are smarter, better people because of these two schools.  Thank you Tami and team for all you do every single day, to be there for my kids, with your endless patience, intelligence and kindness.

I've sent both of my children here and it is a wonderful, positive, encouraging environment. The teachers genuinely care about the children, are accommodating to my schedule, and most importantly my kids learn learn learn.

At the younger school (infant - 2 1/2) the teachers give the children the attention they need to grow confidence and build their independence. After a few weeks of starting here my toddler was putting on his own coat, putting away his backpack and lunch and strutting his independence both at school and at home. These teachers also had both of my children excited to begin potty training and guided them to mastering it in a short period of time.

At the older school (2 1/2 - 5) the kids continue to flourish with the guidance of the teachers. My children would come home excited to tell me the days of the week, count in Spanish, and they even taught ME the alphabet in sign language. From exploring nature, gaining independence and confidence, to learning the necessities in order to be successful in kindergarten Northstar is wonderful place and I would highly recommend it!

My boys have gone to Northstar Montessori for the past six years.  The staff is the best around - they really connect with the children under their care and go out of their way to organize events and activities to make sure the kids learn and have fun.  I know my kids are VERY well cared for when they are at school, and we have always appreciated the one on one attention they have been given there.

A place where you can truly drop your child off, and totally focus on work or whatever it is you need to do. They define child-centered care, and the staff comes up with great ideas and activities to ensure children are learning age-appropriate rules and skills. <br><br>We would recommend this business 1000X! They use an app to track all activities, including diaper changes, food, and the occasional bump on the head if it happens. <br><br>We no longer live in Ann Arbor, but continue to drive here because the care is just that good.

After having a nanny and attending another daycare, we love Northstar Montessori.  The teachers are kind and really seem to enjoy what they do (this is also shown through low teacher turnover).   We couldn&#39;t be happier with our decision to join the Northstar Montessori family.
