Edgcumbe Montessori & Day Care

"I needed a temporary Montessori day care for my 3 year old while visiting / working in Minneapolis, and am super happy with Edgcumbe Montessori. My daughter had a wonderful time and the staff helped make it an easy transition. The area is beautiful with lots of space to run around. Thanks for a great experience and for making it easy to do drop-in!"

"Edgecumbe Montessori was a great place for our kids to grow and develop. The staff is very kind. It made it easier to drop our children off knowing they were cared for and would have a good time. The outdoor space is fantastic! Thank you to all who helped care for our kiddos."

"We highly recommend Edgcumbe Montessori. Our two daughters attend the school in the Pre-K and infant programs. Our 3-year old has an IEP, and they welcomed the special ed teacher from SPPS into the classroom with no problem, and the process was very smooth. The director is easy to communicate with and incredibly prompt in answering questions. The teachers are very good at their job and care a lot about the children. Our 3-year-old was at a different Montessori for about two years. The environment was not working for her, so we moved her to Edgcumbe after hearing good things from our neighbors whose kids attend the school. Edgcumbe welcomed our daughter with open arms, and it's been a fantastic experience for her. They spend much time outside, which our daughter needs. We enjoyed the school so much that we decided to send our 8-month old daughter. The infant program is excellent because there are only six babies in total, so it's not overwhelming for our daughter. She comes home well-fed, rested, and in a good, mellow mood. We also love the hours! 7 am - 5:30 pm is fantastic!"

"We started our son at Edgcumbe Montessori Daycare when he was an infant. The teachers and owner are very caring. They taught my son lots of fundamental skills which I appreciate a lot. Other parents are very nice and welcoming as well. The daycare also has a great green space tucked behind the building for kids to explore the nature. It is also located on a quiet street in a fantasy neighborhood. Highly recommend."

"I’m that parent that researches ALL the options when it comes to my kids. What attracted me to Edgcumbe was their vast outdoor play area (2 acres tucked away from busy city streets), their loving teachers, and their hybrid approach to teaching/caring for toddlers. Ivan, the director, was responsive to all my questions, kind, and gave me confidence that my daughter would be in good hands. Ms. Sandy and Ms. Missy are hands down the best toddler teachers I’ve met. They welcomed my daughter with open arms and helped her to feel comfortable with her peers. My daughter has grown so much developmentally and has acquired new skills that would have taken me longer to teach her. I recommend Edgcumbe’s toddler room to parents who want their kids to spend a lot of time outside in nature while gaining confidence in their abilities."
