Children's Garden Montessori-Superior Township
We have an exclusive preschool and kindergarten, and we are now enrolling children ages 33 months to 5 years old for fall 2026. Our teachers are highly degreed (Bachelors or Masters). They also have Montessori certification, CPR/First aid certification, nature teacher certification, plus many years teaching experience in the public schools. We have very low teacher/student ratio. We have half day morning and half day afternoon programs, and the highly sought after half day kindergarten. In addition to the core academics, we also do yoga and mindfulness, art, music, peace curriculum, sign language, grace and courtesy lessons, hands-on science experiments, nature lessons, cooking, and gardening. We are a certified Green School, and we bring our love of nature and the environment into our preschool program.
Detroit Country Day School
At Detroit Country Day School, the journey of joyful learning begins early. The Preschool (PK3–Kindergarten) program is thoughtfully designed to nurture young minds through hands-on discovery, creative play, and caring guidance. In a warm and engaging environment, little learners build confidence, curiosity, and a strong foundation in literacy, math, science, and the arts. With low student-to-teacher ratios and a focus on social-emotional growth, DCDS’s preschool fosters both academic readiness and a lifelong love of learning. It’s more than preschool—it’s the first step in a journey of excellence.
