Our Story

Heartwood Community Preschool was founded with one simple belief: every child deserves access to high-quality early learning.

From our roots in philanthropy to our commitment to play-based education, we have grown into a vibrant community where children, families, and educators learn and grow together.

Our Misison

To help children discover a love of learning, a positive sense of self, and an excitement to explore their world.

Our Program

Heartwood Community Preschool has been specially designed from scratch to reach children in creative ways. We go beyond conventional classroom practices to spark enthusiasm and growth. Expectations are high. Some of our techniques are unusual. We treat our educators as professionals. We find, hire, and train master educators who show creativity, energy, intelligence, reliability, patience, and kindness.

Our classrooms have no more than 20 children each, supervised by three professionals. In addition our Deans of Program Development, Educational Specialists, Early interventionists, our Director and Deputy Director float through our classrooms helping out.
