About Our School
Happy Hearts Montessori offers an educational environment that honors each child's natural curiosity and pace. The school places emphasis on hands-on learning, consistent routines and independence appropriate to each developmental stage. Classrooms are organized to allow children to work individually and in small groups under the guidance of trained staff.
Age Groups
Programs are available for infants, toddlers and preschool-age children, with specific schedules and activities suited to each group.
Daily Schedule
Days are structured around consistent routines that balance focused work time, outdoor play and rest.
Staff
Educators meet state training requirements and participate in ongoing professional development to maintain a high standard of care.
Educational Approach
The program centers on practical life activities, sensorial materials, language and early math experiences. Classrooms are prepared to support concentration and to invite children to develop motor skills, social interaction and problem solving. Assessment emphasizes observation and documentation of progress rather than standardized testing.
