Our Chaska Montessori School and Child Care Center

Step By Step’s Chaska preschool provides a fun Montessori learning experience and nurturing child care to infants, toddler, preschool, and kindergarten-age children.

We offer full-time Montessori preschool programs for about the cost of daycare. Our child care and educational programs combine the care, comfort, and attentiveness of the best daycare centers with the hands-on, fun, tailored education of the best Montessori schools. Step By Step kids learn in a safe and fun environment, and come home energetic and still in a learning mood.

Our Chaska school is open from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm, which gives you and your child flexibility. Families from all over the Twin Cities area come to Step By Step, but our Chaska location is particularly convenient for families in Carver County, including communities like Chanhassen, Carver, Waconia, St. Boni, Shakopee, and Victoria, MN.

Our Chaska preschool – Step By Step’s newest –  is located at the corner of Engler and County Road 41. (New to the area? Learn more about the Chaska community.)

What Parents Say about Our Chaska Prechool

“I have two children in the Montessori program at Step by Step-Chaska. The staff is terrific and instill a true love of learning in their students. Miss Mary is very kind, well organized and an excellent leader and teacher. The children at this school are polite, well mannered and play/work well with each other. I would encourage any parent considering a Montessori education to look closely at Step by Step in Chaska. You will find a warm, welcoming and strong academic program.” – Stacy Kaiser
