Respect for the child is the cornerstone of Heartwood's philosophy. At all levels and all areas, Heartwood places the needs of the child first. The staff believes that children, not subjects are taught. The Montessori Method is based on careful observation of and respect for the natural development of the child and has been used in schools around the world for over 90 years. The Montessori approach recognizes that a child is more responsive to certain learning experiences at particular times or "sensitive periods." Careful observation allows the Montessori-trained teacher to recognize these sensitive periods when a child is ready for a new learning experience. The teacher then can direct the child toward materials that will satisfy his or her developmental needs.
