About the Provider
Step By Step Montessori Schools is a group of Montessori schools and child care centers initially formed in 1991 with four locations. Since then we have added four additional schools and our family is now made up of eight locations in the Minneapolis Metro area. We serve children ages 6 weeks to 6 years and offer a variety of programs either full-time or part-time before and after school to suit the needs of any family.
Our Southdale campus is located just east of downtown Edina, and just north of the Southdale shopping center, near Highway 62/Crosstown and France Ave. Our Edina school is especially convenient for families in Southwest Minneapolis and the southwestern suburbs, including Richfield, Bloomington, and Hopkins.
