SUCCESSFULLY NURTURING YOUNG MINDS SINCE 2003

 Southern Stars Preschool is part of the STARS Montessori & Educational Group.

HOW DOES STARS ACCOMPLISH THIS?

Northeast Stars Montessori and Southern Stars Preschools (part of the STARS Montessori & Educational Group) are distinct in being a professionally run preschool with an eye to individualized attention.  The "every child is the same" technique does not apply within our walls.  We pride ourselves on our ability to adapt to changing times, and it shows in how teachers and staff respond to parents and children.  Every child is a learner unto himself and our teachers are confident in their ability to engage each child successfully.  

Why Southern Stars is the Best For You and Your Family’s Needs
