Who We Are

Boulder County needs more and better centers for infants and toddlers. We have the knowledge, experience, love, and desire to help fill this need.

Our approach

Heart & Hands Montessori: A Rich and Fun Learning Environment for the Very Young!

The center offers full day, full year care to infants and toddlers. Center hours are convenient for the schedules of working parents. Most children will attend full time (5 days per week) which benefits their connection with the teachers and other children as well as to activities which support their development.

Unique program

High standards, full year, full day, comprehensive, vibrant.

Safe, nurturing, spacious.

Important Points

Differentiators:

• The center fosters a community feeling for parents and caregivers. We work as a team to benefit each child!
• Heart and Hands Montessori is conveniently located on a quiet street.
• Activities throughout the day are vibrant and fun. The playground is adjacent to the building for outdoor activities.
• Music and conversation are in the air: Books are read, children hear singing, clapping, they move to music and use instruments. International CDs help them sleep. They learn to partner with adults in all routines.
• A walking path passes right behind our building, so infants take stroller rides and toddlers take walks on the path which goes through a grassy park, home to mature trees, native birds and tiny insects.
• Our facilities demonstrate attention to detail and are aesthetically pleasing, calm, clean and environmentally friendly, making them attractive to children and adults.
• The owner/director is on-site and involved hands-on throughout the day.
• Our teachers and staff are educated, experienced, gentle and care deeply about young children and their families.
