St. Croix Montessori School

At St. Croix Montessori School, even the tiniest learners experience big growth.

Our Toddler and Children's House programs offer a warm, nurturing environment where children as young as 16 months begin their journey of independence, discovery,and joyful learning. Rooted in the time-tested Montessori philosophy, we create experiences that meet young children where they are-supporting their natural development through hands-on, purposeful activities.<br/><br/>Located on a beautiful campus in Stillwater, MN, our school includes a certified School Forest and a working farm. Toddlers and young children don't just observe nature-they engage with it daily. From collecting eggs and planting seeds to exploring woodland trails and building gross motor skills in natural outdoor spaces, every day brings meaningful connection and discovery.<br/><br/>Inside the classroom, our environments are intentionally prepared to support focus, movement, and choice. Children work at their own pace with developmentally appropriate materials, guided by caring, highly trained Montessori educators who understand the unique needs of the youngest learners. Our multi-age classrooms foster social growth, peer learning, and a strong sense of belonging.<br/><br/>We emphasize independence, language development, emotional regulation, and self-care-skills that empower young children and set a strong foundation for future academic success. With low student-to-teacher ratios, a peaceful atmosphere, and strong communication with families, we create a partnership that supports each child's individual path.<br/><br/>St. Croix Montessori School serves children from 16 months through 6th grade, and we are currently expanding into Junior High-continuing our commitment to whole-child development through adolescence.<br/><br/>If you're seeking a program where your child will be seen, supported, and inspired every day, we invite you to visit our school and experience the Montessori difference.<br/><br/>Now enrolling for our Toddler Community (16 months-3 years) and Children's House (3-6 years) programs.… Read more
