At 2.5 years old, children transition into our Montessori preschool classroom, marking an exciting milestone in their educational journey.Here, they immerse themselves in a dynamic Montessori environment tailored to their developmental stage. Our curriculum encompasses practical life activities, hands-on learning experiences, and sensorial exploration, laying a strong foundation for their academic and personal growth.
Academic and Holistic Development:

However, our focus extends beyond academics to encompass the holistic development of each child, addressing their physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being.
Social and Emotional Learning:
Central to our curriculum is the emphasis on social and emotional learning, equipping children with essential life skills such as effective communication, confidence in public speaking, and empathy. Throughout the day, children engage in language arts, mathematical concepts, social studies explorations, and scientific inquiries, fostering a well-rounded educational experience.
Core Values and Community Building:
Embedded within our program are core values rooted in Islamic teachings, guiding children in living a life characterized by kindness, empathy, and compassion towards all of Allah’s creations. Our Montessori environment encourages collaboration and community building, providing opportunities for older and younger children to work together harmoniously.
Nurturing Environment:

In addressing behavioral issues, we prioritize teaching children to internalize their choices and learn from them, fostering self-awareness and accountability.
Our Commitment:
At our preschool, we strive to create a learning environment where children thrive academically, socially, and emotionally, guided by the principles of love, kindness, and compassion.

Currently, we do not offer hot meals. However, we provide morning snacks. Parents are encouraged to pack lunch for their children, especially if they have dietary preferences or restrictions. While we have a menu for morning snacks, we do not offer substitutions.
At Creative Hearts, we approach challenging behavior with love, compassion, and understanding. We do not believe in punishment or timeouts. Instead, children are redirected and offered a "thinking spot" within the classroom where they can calm themselves with quiet activities. If a pattern of behavior persists, parents are notified, and a meeting is arranged. Bullying is taken seriously, and our teachers are trained to address it with kindness and understanding, involving parents as necessary. We prioritize problem-solving and communication over punitive measures.
