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:
We intentionally keep our campuses small, enrolling only 36 full-time seats.
We have 1 infant classroom, 1 toddler classroom and 1 primary classroom per campus.
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.
In order to realize the first-class education and childcare experience that we strive for, we firmly adhere to these core tenets and values. These are born out of the Montessori philosophy and discipline, and allow us to provide the most comprehensive education and care for your children.
In a Montessori classroom children are allowed to fully experience their environment. They learn that the classroom is theirs to explore, maintain, and enjoy. Through real interactions with materials and teachers, our students develop the ability to problem solve, think creatively, use their words to resolve conflict, be a part of their classroom community, and to enjoy the process of learning.
StoryHeights Montessori strives to create an environment where children learn to respect and celebrate the differences among us. Children are taught to be aware and mindful of others and to treat each other with respect. We engage in various activities that promote empathy and kindness. We foster a sense of community and belonging that encourages children.
Learning is fun and coming to school should be a joy each and every day! Our dedicated staff create learning environments that are engaging, exciting, and full of possibility so that each child is nurtured and encouraged to fulfill his/her individual potential: academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.
Knowledge is power. Teaching children to do for themselves and to be independent thinkers will empower them to become strong, confident leaders. We strive to create a powerful community of family within our school, providing you and your family with resources and support services.
"Good enough" is never good enough when it comes to how we care and teach children. You'll see this in how we maintain and clean our classrooms and equipment, and how our staff attend to and teach your children. We may not be perfect 100% of the time, but we'll give 100% all the time in order to operate with excellence and do whatever is needed to do right by everyone we serve.
Children deserve the utmost integrity. We don't just talk about making the World a better place; we're actually committed to being the change our World needs. You'll see this priority in the character of our teachers we employ, how we treat our families with respect and dignity, and how we handle our business practices. Our words and deeds will match our motives and intentions.
