The HeartPrints community is one of respectful collaboration and learning.With the program influenced by Reggio, Montessori and High Scope, students and teachers alike immerse themselves in the discoveries that inquiry-based learning fosters and the joy of sharing that learning.A partnership evolves with families and the school because the language of learning comes from the children and the children complete the connection between home and school.
HeartPrints is an early education experience for young children
that celebrates creativity, exploration and strong
relationships.Connections with the teachers, other children and
families build strong bonds at HeartPrints. These bonds help
children to understand how to ask questions, solve problems,
collaborate and to share responsibility in their learning. Families
and children become a part of a dynamic community that reflects
academic excellence and respect for the natural world. Children
express their knowledge, ideas and emotions through the arts and a
responsive curriculum that reflects their interests.
HeartPrints offers a beautiful and engaging environment. The
spacious and uncluttered classes are located in a LEED building and
the outside spaces allow for much exploration. Inside rich and
interesting materials beckon children to investigate. We invite
children to use play as an essential tool to make sense of their
world.
HeartPrints offers a developmental approach to early education
that benefits the "whole" child. Children take part in yoga,
foreign language instruction, strong STEAM programs and
opportunities to understand the natural world around them. Learning
is everywhere!
Our mission: to strive for a more peaceful world by
involving young children, their families and their teachers in a
process of self-directed, lifelong learning which will encourage
young children to think clearly and creatively, to discover
cultural and aesthetic values, to respond sensitively to others, to
manage conflict respectfully, and to recognize they are members of
the worldwide community.
