Step By Step Montessori Schools of Edina (Southdale) offers Montessori learning programs for infants, toddlers, preschool, and kindergarten-age children. We offer part-time and full-time Montessori programs for about the same cost as traditional day care.
We’re 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. It’s one of two Step By Step Montessori locations located in the southern suburbs (the other being our Chaska school).

The quality of the learning and staff! It is hard leaving our girls each day, but since day 1 it has helped knowing that they are getting exposed to such a variety of high quality experiences by people who really care about them. We cannot recommend Step by Step Edina enough!!!

Ms. Em is such a bright spot in our son's day. She is a compassionate teacher who uses every opportunity to teach the kids.

We're thrilled with Step by Step Montessori in Edina. The Montessori curriculum perfectly fosters our daughter Audrey's curiosity and independence. She loves the hands-on activities and the freedom to explore her interests at her own pace. The teachers are incredible - Audrey's teacher, Ms. Beth, is patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at helping each child blossom. The classroom itself is bright and beautifully organized, with plenty of stimulating materials that pique the children's interests. We're so grateful for the positive and nurturing environment Step by Step Montessori provides! Roger and Waraporn Geisert.

The teachers are what makes this place something truly spectacular. Both of my girls have been at the school since the infant room, and both have been positively impacted by so many amazing teachers in their lives who have loved them, and fostered an environment for growth and independence. They are treated with love, compassion, and grace, even on their hardest days… and I know they have some hard days. Nothing makes a parent feel better than knowing their kids feel loved at school. All the rest is just a bonus.
What Parents Say About Our Edina Location
“From our first tour of the facility to dropping my nearly 9-month old son off this morning, we have absolutely loved our experience with Step by Step in Edina. It feels like every teacher in the school knows and cares about my boy, whether they work in the infant room or with the older kids. He is loved and challenged and encouraged every day, and honestly, what more could a parent hope for than that?” – Christy Benoit
