Description: Heartprints Montessori is a cozy, Montessori preschool school that was founded in 2010. The campus is located at the junction of Broadway Road and College Avenue in Tempe, Arizona. Heartprints has two American Montessori Society certified instructors. All assistant teachers are trained in Montessori methods. A low child-to-teacher ratio allows instructors to focus on the growth and development of each individual student as they progress through a curriculum focused on the following areas:
Practical Life
Sensorial
Language
Mathematical
Cultural Subjects, including science, music and art.
In addition to the above areas, students take educational field trips and spend time tending to the school gardens in order to learn from the natural world and understand the importance of caring for the environment.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
