Minto's Casa Child Care Center

We sent our older son to Minto's while living in Novi a few years ago. Now he is 7 and we have been in California for a few years now, we still have fond memories of this daycare center. I have to say it really felt like home away from home for the children when the teachers and owner Ms Minto had such loving and caring hearts. It was during covid when we first visited Mintos for a tour. My very picky mom immediately picked up on things that made this place so different from others. They had real cleaning tools and routines and very thorough disinfecting routines, which really gave us peace of mind. During the covid times the government handed some stioends to daycare centers which we didn't know until those checks came through them to us. Mintos casa didn't keep them but rather passed them directly along to the families. After years and having lived in four states, such things are still unheard of, not to mention we now pay twice as much for daycare in CA. The love, the integrity, the family feel are all things i Miss abut them. I hope Ms Minto can keep running this place and hopefully she and staff all get rewarded somehow for their hard work. They are genuinely good people that i do not take for granted and never regreted trusting with my son.

We are extremely appreciative for the care and growth Minto’s provided my two kids. Our daughter attended from ages 2-4, and our son from 6 months-2 years. Minto’s is a small operation run by dedicated, unpretentious, and loving caretakers/teachers. Though specific teachers are assigned to specific classes, they are constantly helping one another out, so nearly every teacher had some relationship with every kid. They are loyal to the Montessori method, which really helped the flourishing and learning of my daughter in particular. Both my kids loved the food, which is cooked daily with love and care. The preschool curriculum has a wonderful balance of academics and socialization. The teachers put so much thought into what is best for each child, and they work as a team with the parents to help the child reach his/her potential. As for the infant/toddler classes, the teachers made the transition as smooth as possible, allowing us to visit the classroom in advance and acclimate our kids to the new environment. The facilities are clean and simple, no more and no less than what the children need. I was amazed when my son’s teacher sent us a video of him napping peacefully on his cot—we are barely able to convince him to nap at home, but somehow the teachers do it with ease. When we applied for Minto’s 3 years ago, our daughter was on the waitlist for a whole year, but now I understand why it sometimes takes so long. Per the Montessori philosophy, kids progress to the next class based on developmental milestones rather than age, so it’s difficult to predict when there will be an opening. Our son took longer to talk/walk consistently, so another kid who was in line for his spot had to wait longer. If you are considering registering, I truly believe it is worth the wait. We will miss Minto’s VERY much, and are eternally grateful for the heart and soul of this institution!

I am with Minto case school almost 3 years. My daughter is going there in a preschool. It’s really really great School Miss Rana Miss Sunita, miss Archana. All the teachers are the best best for my daughter. I’m glad my daughter going there. Best Teacher ever. Best schools 🙏🩷🩷

My daughter started Mintos Casa when she was 10 months old, and finished her preschool with Ms. Kelly and Ms. Sunitha. Based on our wonderful experience with the all the staff, right from the infant room to the preschool, Mintos casa was our choice for our son too. It’s home away from home.

We absolutely love this school/daycare. Our daughter started here when she was 2.5 in the toddler classroom. The warmth, love and care the teachers provide is exceptional. They truly, truly care and it shows. She is now in Ms Rana's preschool classroom and both Ms Rana and Ms Sunita are nothing short of exceptional. My daughter loves going here and we feel safe sending here to this school. The environment is safe, clean and organized. The teachers put in a lot of thought and hard work into the children's development. I will def be sending my next kid here and have already recommended Mintos to almost every parent I know. Truly a gem of a school.
