WELCOME TO THE FAMILY!
At Growing Hearts Montessori, we strive to create a community that is your child’s home away from home. We’re committed to educating young minds and preparing students for all life has to offer.
We believe in Maria Montessori’s method of engaging the entire student, and our approach provides a focused atmosphere where a child can develop at his or her own pace. Students are quickly immersed in a tight-knit community where sharing knowledge with peers in encouraged. Our curriculum emphasizes independence, too, and helps students begin to learn how to accomplish tasks on their own.

INDEPENDENT THINKERS
Our goal is independence — students who act without direct interaction. We cultivate a classroom in which the students drive themselves to learn and advance. We are simply guides in this process, and we strive to create lifelong learners driven by curiosity.

BILINGUAL INTEGRATION
Language and learning is about repetition. Whether it’s our morning time “Buenos Dias,” song or using “por favor” rather than “please,” every day is about expanding English and Spanish vocabulary, authentically.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
The staff at Growing Hearts treat my little guy like their own. They are very cautious with the first sign of any kind of health issue and very communicative with parents. My 8 month old loves the ladies in the infant room. He is always smiling at drop off and pick up — I know he is in awesome hands! The school interior (even in the basement) is very modern and clean with good daylight.

OUR CURRICULUM FOCUS
MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is more artistry than monotany in this program. The student will learn to identify numbers and what they truly represent with strong visual examples, getting children to stop counting with fingers and start counting in their minds. Students will learn to add, subtract, count to 100, and beyond.

SENSORIAL
Sensorial is all about engaging the entire body in education. Smelling, tasting, touching, seeing, and hearing allows the child to make long-lasting connections and is the key to strong retention of information.

CULTURAL STUDIES
Cultural Studies is a trip around the world without ever leaving the classroom! Students will be able to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings through the eyes of a scientist. Emphasis will be placed on positive values and how to co-exist with all via social studies. We allow the student to explore the world and all its wonder.
