Step By Step Montessori Schools (St. Anthony)

Hard to give a star rating. If I could rate the teachers separately from the corporate structure they’d easily get a 6/5. It’s so clear that the individual teachers really care about the kids in their charge.

That said, endeavor schools pushes for profits too much. There were 36 kids in the preschool class my kids was in when state max is 20. Our kid was moved up to preschool and lower ratios before she was 31 months (legal minimum if parents and school are in agreement) to make room for other kids to come in and pay too.

Rates were raised earlier than scheduled to “align with their other schools” with the promise they wouldn’t be raised again for 1.5 years only to raise them again a year later.

They slowly stopped doing the extra things that make school fun for young kids like water days and walks. I assume because of the abnormally large class sizes.

Again, I can not stress enough that our kid loved all the teachers. I never once worried about her safety. She learned a ton!

Ultimately we had to leave because she was constantly overwhelmed and disregulated due to the sheer chaos of 36 3-4 year olds in a small room all day.

We live in the neighborhood and if we’d had another infant they’d absolutely be on our list. But I just don’t think that the corporate pressures aligned with a good preschool experience.

My daughter attended Step By Step - St Anthony from 4 months - 3.5 years old. All the staff are wonderful and teachers are well-qualified. I am very impressed by the amount they taught my daughter. Most importantly, I truly felt that her teachers and staff loved and cared for her every day. Would definitely recommend this center for childcare & preschool!

Both of our kids have been enrolled at SBS-SA for the last couple years and overall it's been a great experience! No matter how much adversity and disruption Covid has brought over of the last 18 months, Ms. Michelle and her teachers truly put the well-being of the kids before their own. The learning, socialization, and play have all been invaluable to us as parents and it shows as the kids continue to thrive through it all.  The teachers have huge hearts for the sacrifice and compassion they bring to the job and we're grateful for everything they do.

My daughter has been enrolled at Step by Step since she was four months old and we have had a great experience. She lights up when she sees her teachers every day! They update me regularly, have great COVID protocols, and I truly feel that they care about my daughter. What a special place!

My family has been with Step by Step Montessori for over 4 years.  My 6 year old was there for 3 years and continues in the summer and my 1 1/2 year old is currently attending.  I have had a great experience with the all the step by step teachers.  The new director, Ms. Sara has been a great addition to the Step by Step Montessori team. In the short time Ms. Sara has been with the St. Anthony Step by Step school we have noticed the many benefits she has brought to the school. The communication with families and staffing has been excellent. I feel grateful for all the love and guidance that my children have received while attending this school.  Step by Step continues to exceed our expectations and we look forward to many more years watching are children grow with Mrs. Sara and the Step by Step St. Anthony teachers.
