Miniapple International Montessori

All three of our children went through Miniapple Montessori in Oakdale and we couldn't be more pleased with the quality of care, instruction, and support they received. The staff are like family to us, we made strong connections with other families, and our kids were over-prepared for continuing their journey of growth in Kindergarten in our public school system. We really can't recommend Miniapple enough and have referred friends and neighbors to this wonderful place. Our kids always talk about their fond memories of Miniapple and often wish they could return!

We are so grateful that we get to partner with such an amazing Montessori every Summer! The staff are fantastic, and they help make the soccer experience for the children magical!

Our family has been going to Miniapple for over four years and we are consistently impressed with the school. They provide a friendly, safe, and nurturing environment that focuses as much on social/emotional growth as academic. The teachers are warm, knowledgeable, and truly care about each child. They offer a balance of structure and freedom so that kids feel confident with their growing independence. The directors are very responsive, helpful, and a part of daily classroom life. Our kids look forward to seeing their teachers and classmates every day, and Miniapple has become their second home.

If you are looking for an amazing place for your infant, toddler, or pre-schooler, I highly recommend Miniapple International Montessori School. It is an AMAZING school!!!! The teachers are loving, kind, and caring and the education they teach your kids will amaze you!!! My daughter is only 4 years old and she knows how to do basic math, is learning how to pronounce letters to read, and has basic life living skills. Her spark in learning is incredible!!! She always stops to look at the trees, flowers, and plants and is always so interested in learning how things work around her! She’s always so kind and loving to her friends and to her environment. She’s so thoughtful and caring of people around her and to the animals and to the earth! I can go on and on and tell stories after stories as to why I feel this way! I give credit to her teachers and school for sparking her interest in learning! She thrives everyday, from month to month, and is so incredible to see! This week is Teacher’s Appreciation week and I can’t put into words how much a love and appreciate her school and her teachers! If you want to watch your toddler grow and thrive, this is the school for you! It’s more than a daycare center, it is an actual school! Geared around education and life long skills!!! Make sure to plan ahead though because there is usually a waiting list.

5 stars without a doubt. Walked out today from dropping my daughter of thinking how happy I am that she's here. We are on year two here and it's amazing. Deb the director is fantastic, the teachers are excellent, the aids are very friendly and the education far exceeds any daycare we've been to before, this is our 2nd child. Our son went to 3 daycares due to moves and job changes and this is the 3rd and final for our daughter. We didn't necessarily come here for the Montessori way of education but I love it, it's exactly what our little girl needs. I feel safe and secure leaving my child here everyday to learn and play. As for cost it's probably comparable when it comes to curriculums and yes more than some "daycares" but like they say you get what you pay for. Thanks to all of the people here who care for and teach my daughter everyday.
