Heritage specializes in Montessori Education serving children from 3 to 6 years of age, including their kindergarten year. Our education, experience, dedication, and commitment to the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori enable us to provide a learning environment ideally suited to young children. We emphasize love of learning, concentration, self-esteem, respect for others, self-direction, and independent living skills.

Classrooms

Teachers
Montessori Certified Teachers provided individualized instruction for each student. The Montessori Teacher observes the progress of each child and tailors her lesson presentations accordingly. Because the focus is on each individual child, there is no cap or ceiling on what a child can learn. A child who is ready and eager to move to new challenges does not have to wait for other children. Likewise, a child who needs a little extra time to master a new concept or skill is free to do so without feeling any stress or pressure.
