At StoryHeights Montessori, children enjoy a first-class educational program and loving care in an exceptional environment that fosters a genuine lifelong love of learning!
StoryHeights Montessori was founded in 2016 by Tyler and Crystal Tullos, busy professional parents of 4 children who were dissatisfied with existing childcare options.
Our vision is to build early education centers that blend the best elements of in-home daycares and the large nationwide franchised centers, creating a better local alternative for our community's children.
Staying intentionally small to give children a more personalized experience, our mission is to empower children to soar to new heights, alleviating working parents' stress and guilt by providing aesthetically pleasing environments with high-quality materials. Our dedicated educators genuinely care for the children and foster a caring, intimate community where they thrive in a stimulating, enriching environment.
We offer above-standard pay, significant benefits, and we contribute to local initiatives. Licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), we stand as a beacon of quality and excellence, nurturing every child's potential.
We aim to create an environment that fosters a genuine lifelong love of learning by:
For children aged 6 weeks through 15 months. This program enrolls up to 7 infants with two teachers.
For children aged 16 months through 36 months. This program enrolls up to 9 toddlers with two teachers.
For children aged 2.9 - 6 yrs. This program enrolls up to 20 preschoolers with two teachers.
At StoryHeights Montessori, we follow an AMS (American Montessori Society)-oriented approach, which blends the core priniciples of Montessori education with practical flexibility to meet the needs of today's families. Unlike the strict AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) model, which adheres rigidly to Maria Montessori's orginial methods, AMS allows for a more adaptable and inclusive approach while still upholding Montessori Excellence.
What does this mean for your child?
Our goal is to provide a high-quality, developmentally appropriate Montessori experience that nurtures independence, confidence, and a love for learning in a way that works for every family.
At StoryHeights Montessori, we speak to children with kindness and respect, using positive language of limits to guide behavior. Instead of saying “Don’t run,” we say “Let’s use walking feet.” Rather than “Stop grabbing,” we say “Let’s take turns.” We never yell or raise our voices, but instead use positive redirection and reinforcement to help children make good choices. Our goal is to create a calm, supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and empowered to grow.
At StoryHeights Montessori, we are committed to excellence in early childhood education. Our 5-star rating reflects our unwavering dedication to safety, cleanliness, professionalism, and the authentic Montessori method. Here’s how we make a difference every single day:
