Heartwood Montessori School
Center in Cary, NC 27511
Heartwood Montessori School, founded in 1991, is located at 112 Byrum Street in the heart of Cary, North Carolina, near the intersection of I-40/440 and US-1/64, serving Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and the greater Raleigh area. Heartwood is committed to quality education for children ages 18 months to fifteen years. Our school provides an extensive curriculum based on the Montessori Method and inclusive of State and National standards.
The Montessori approach encourages children to learn through self-motivation within a carefully prepared environment. The multi-age setting offers the child an opportunity to relate to, and work with others at his/her developmental level. At all levels and in all areas, Heartwood places the needs of the child first. The staff believes that children, not subjects, are taught. Respect for the child is the cornerstone of Heartwood’s philosophy.

HMS was founded in 1991 by a group of individuals who were interested in providing a
quality educational program. Heartwood?s leadership is comprised of three members who
work together, each bringing different expertise and talents to the program. We encompass
the philosophy and educational approach expressed by Dr. Maria Montessori while always
keeping ourselves open to new ideas to broaden and enhance our programs. The staff
views each child as an individual with a unique background, personality, maturity, and
intellect. We encourage a whole family? approach at Heartwood by providing
opportunities for parents and staff to work together, share, and to learn from one another.
