He is currently a second year in the primary class. He has thrived in this atmosphere and without question stands out from his non Montessori peers. Stepping Stones is a private entity with reasonable tuition rates. I love the fact the lead guides have been there for a long time and are really invested in the welfare (saftey and development) of the students. There is a focus on the environment/nature, foreign language (Spanish), music, art and Yoga. This place is pretty impressive. Many parents send their children to traditional day cares where they learn little. You just have to observe to believe that the Montessori method works. I come from a traditional schooling approach and am amazed by this school, faculty, instruction and the resulting kids.

If you have google I updated my review their as well. I am altering my initial 5 stars due to how…read morepoorly things ended with care of my 5 year old son. I think this place in theory is wonderful and such a good start for children before school. In reality the providers are tired, short fused, and unable to recognize that they are not helping parents navigate big emotions and changes in behavior. The reaction from the teachers and center director to my sons behavior was to isolate him, allowed my son to be labeled the "bad kid" and ultimately was (from my perspective) a bid to kick him out. It took us 6 months to bring our child back to center and encourage him to communicate his frustration instead of shut down. I wish I noticed how much my son had been made to feel like the "bad" kid sooner. He isn't an angel and I hope this review doesn't come off like I'm excusing anything from his end that happened. I am however disappointed in how the adults, myself included, handled my 5 year old. Disappointed in how uninterested the providers were in helping him, or my husband and I, get past this development stage. This daycare is not cheap, and I was expecting providers that cared to give a resource or provide some kind of guidance other then what actually happened. I left three stars on here because Ms. Mandy is a gem, and of the two years we were there the first year was wonderful. The things they teach the kids and the summer program are great too. It's really just the extremely poor way our time ended.

We loved this daycare/pre-school so much. Our daughter started attending the daycare at 14 months…read moreold and continued going there until kindergarten (in a different school district). She was exposed to so many different activities (art, dance, helping in the garden, putting on a play, etc) and cultures (being near MSU there is a lot of diversity which we found to be a major plus). Our daughter came away with such a head start with her education. Her teacher in elementary school has commented on how bright she is and asked where she attended. We could not have been happier with how our experience at Eastminster turned out. We had taken the time to tour many area centers and found this to be the one of the most reasonably priced as well as the one where we felt our daughter would get the most care.

DANGEROUS and NEGLIGENT. Do not leave your children here!…read moreReview: If I could give Tinkerlab zero stars, I would. We pulled our son out after only three days, and honestly, I regret not trusting my gut the moment I walked in. This place is a lawsuit waiting to happen. Safety is non-existent. On Tuesday, when I arrived for pickup, the front door was propped wide open with a brick, and there was no one at the front desk. Any stranger could have walked in, or a child could have walked right out into the parking lot. When I finally found a staff member, she was sitting in the corner on her phone with her back to the room while two toddlers were fighting over a pair of adult-sized scissors that had been left on a low table. The hygiene is appalling. The floors looked like they hadn't been swept in a week. There were sticky spills everywhere, and the "nap area" smelled strongly of mildew. I saw one of the assistants change a diaper and then immediately go back to preparing snacks without washing her hands. Unprofessional Management. When I tried to speak to the director about these safety concerns, she was incredibly defensive and rude. She told me I was "overreacting" and that "kids get messy." There is a difference between messy and hazardous. There is no curriculum, no structure, and zero accountability. Save yourself the stress and keep your children safe--take them literally anywhere else.
