What We Do
Mustard Seed Preschool & Day Care is a nature-based, faith-centered Montessori preschool serving families in St. Joseph, Michigan. Our program blends hands-on learning with a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Rooted in Montessori principles, we focus on developing independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our faith-based approach supports character development, kindness, and respect for others, while our nature-inspired setting allows children to connect with the world around them through outdoor exploration and meaningful experiences.
We serve infants through school-age children with comprehensive care options, including before- and after-school programs to support busy families. Every child in our care is valued and supported in a safe, engaging, and enriching space where they can thrive. Whether your child is just beginning their educational journey or continuing to grow, Mustard Seed Preschool & Day Care provides the foundation for lifelong learning and character development.
