Step By Step Montessori – Chaska

1485 White Oak Dr CHASKA, MN

2 mi

Our Chaska preschool and kindergarten teachers create learning environments where individual students can develop at their own learning pace. Our center director ensures each child receives personalized attention while building social skills with other children. Our kindergarten teachers bring specialized training in Montessori methods and early childhood education. Each teacher works with the same students throughout the school year, creating strong bonds that support learning and development. This continuity helps children feel secure while exploring new concepts and building confidence. The Montessori approach recognizes that children learn differently from adults. Our Chaska daycare teachers guide students through carefully designed learning environments where academic growth happens naturally. Kids develop critical thinking skills, independence, and a genuine love for learning that extends well beyond their years at our center.
