HistoryMy journey into Montessori began as an assistant in a Montessori school. I began to discover the value of Montessori during this time. I observed the confidence and love of learning grow in children as they interacted with the beautifully designed and constructed Montessori materials. The opportunity to launch a Montessori program at a non-profit agency came my way in 2006. I helped set up and taught in the program for 4 years. During this time I earned certification as a Primary Montessori Directress. Unfortunately, the program was closed due to lack of funding. Parents of my students asked me to start a Montessori school of my own - which I did in June 2010. Now I feel like one of my students as I continue on this amazing journey of endless possibilities that is Montessori!SpecialtiesHearts and Minds Montessori School is a preschool/kindergarten for children 3 to 6 years of age. The curriculum is based on the teaching methods and materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. The classroom contains not only all of the materials found in a typical montessori classroom but much more. Numerous activities and materials are available to enrich and expand learning possibilities. Lessons are given individually. This allows children to progress at a pace that fits their individual abilities and needs. Hearts and Minds Montessori School is dedicated to inspiring a life-long love of learning in children. The joy of discovery and exploration within a child is the seed from which all learning takes place. Each child is unique with their own combination of personality, interests, skills and abilities which affects how they approach learning. Our role as teachers is to discover this uniqueness within each child and match the learning to the child.
