History
Founded four decades ago by Lorraine Lund, STEPS Montessori of Saginaw originated with a small cohort of 20 kids. Our school has since flourished into a community of over 60 learners and expert AMS-certified faculty, becoming a pillar of the Great Lakes Bay Region. We operate proudly as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) focused on local academic excellence and growth.
The early years of childhood serve as the essential cornerstone for any future academic achievements. Our mission is to provide every student a premier start through our specialized preschool programs. With guidance from AMS-certified educators, we strive to ignite a sense of wonder in every child. We are devoted to a high-quality curriculum that prepares our students for a lifelong journey of curious exploration and continuous development.
Our Principles
I.
Self-Reliance
Our specialized rooms foster independent study while mentors provide active support. Your learner will work alongside peers based on shared mastery and comprehension levels rather than their chronological age.
II
Enriched Academics
Our curriculum spans more than basic literacy. Pupils investigate planetary science, maps, biology, and logic. They also participate in rhythmic arts and are introduced to diverse global languages.
03
Tailored Physical Spaces Â
We maintain a secure campus curated for mental growth. As your little one discovers, our authentic Montessori tools build tangible expertise. We utilize natural materials instead of plastic. Furthermore, students learn the importance of maintaining their shared workspace through daily stewardship.
04
Family Partnerships
We provide convenient teacher-led valet assistance and flexible arrival windows for busy schedules. Formal dialogue via conferences occurs twice annually to track progress. Additionally, we organize academic excursions where guardians are invited to join our skilled educators and staff for hands-on learning outside the classroom walls.
