A Nurturing Montessori Program for Infants & Toddlers | Macomb County

Our Montessori daycare in Mount Clemens, MI provides individualized care for infants and toddlers through early sensory exploration and play-based learning.

What are our daycare program options?

MSS offers part-time and full-time childcare programs that is designed to provide the highest quality care for infants and babies.

Dr. Maria Montessori recognized that the most rapid brain development occurs before age three. Our daycare and childcare program is designed to honor this critical period. Through gentle sensory exploration, freedom of movement, and meaningful routines, your child will build foundational pathways for language, coordination, and confidence.

What is the teacher-to-child ratio for infants?

Our lead teachers are certified in Montessori education and are well-versed in Montessori philosophy and positive discipline. With a teacher-to-child ratio of 1:4, we ensure each child receives personalized attention and guidance.  Check out our blog post explaining the differences between Montessori education and traditional education.

Your child’s health and safety come first.  Our daycare program located in Mount Clemens, MI follows rigorous cleaning and sanitation protocols to ensure a clean environment. We are a nut-free school and will accommodate allergies and dietary needs.

Our secure facilities include childproofed classrooms, monitored entry points, and a dedicated team trained in first aid and CPR. With clear policies for illness prevention and emergency preparedness, we create a safe space where your child can thrive.

What are our daycare hours?

We are open from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm.  Once your child is ready, they can transition to our Montessori preschool program.

What about toddler classes?

As your child grows and becomes a confident walker, their developmental needs shift from the sensory exploration of infancy to a desire for independence and purposeful work. Our half-day Montessori toddler program is the perfect next step. This program is designed as a gentle first school experience, offering more structure than traditional daycare. It focuses on building early social skills, developing coordination, and fostering independence in a calm, nurturing community.
