History

My 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!

Specialties

Hearts 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.

VCA is committed to Biblical Education Reform. VCA's quality staff utilizes Accelerated Christian Education's ( ACE ) individualized, mastery-based, high-tech curriculum. VCA is registered with the Indiana Dept. of Education, ACE ( with whom we have achieved "Quality Status" ), and the College Board. Through ACE's Dual Enrollment Program, STUDENTS CAN RECEIVE A NATIONALLY ACCREDITED DIPLOMA from Lighthouse Christian Academy ( Madison, Tennessee ), ACE's distance-learning program. The diploma is accredited by SACS ( Southern Association of Colleges and School ). See our Handbook for more information about our graduation policies. VCA is proof that education reform is possible without any government assistance and without charging astronomical fees. For less than $2, 000.00 per student, parents can give their children a Christ-centered education that will prepare them to serve God, in whatever way He sees fit, for time and eternity. Furthermore, the homeschool program is about $1, 000 per student. ( Compared to over $10, 000 public schools receive from the government. ) Our students take nationally standardized tests each year ( the Stanford Achievement Test-Tenth Edition ) which demonstrates they are achieving academically. However, the great advantage for parents is the fact their Christian worldview will be reinforced, not undermined! Furthermore, we are unapologetically committed to promoting the Christian principles of this nation's Founding Fathers that made America the greatest nation in the world. Our students benefit from a wide range of opportunities, both academically and socially. VCA students are able to participate in the vocational programs offered by the Kokomo Area Career Center. This is a premier educational program which enables high school students to get a jump start on a career in a wide variety of fields. Furthermore, we are grateful to the leaders of Kokomo Area School at Home ( kashnews.org ) for allowing our students to participate in their activities such as volleyball, soccer and basketball. Go, Eagles! Finally, our teenagers attend the Heartland Regional ACE Student Convention on the campus of Ball State University. They compete against other Christian schools using the ACE curriculum throughout Indiana and Ohio. Through these organizations and local churches, VCA students receive a well-rounded education which is second to none.
