My daughter has been a Heartwood since she was 18 months old. She is now 6. She loves the school and the teachers. She is highly energetic & intelligent and keeping her focused and engaged is a challenge. But the teachers and the Montessori Method is an excellent fit for her. She is supported and encouraged to challenge herself and to be self sufficient. It is such a joy to see her bounce out of bed and be excited about going to school. In the first grade they are learning to develop a weekly plan and work to complete it each week. As a parent, I have helped in many of the volunteer activities. There is usually good participation from other parents and there is good direction and leadership from the Heartwood staff in directing the parents on volunteer days. Parents are free to volunteer as much or as little as they wish. We absolutely love this school, the Montessori approach to learning and the Heartwood teachers!!!
