Preschoolers & Toddlers
Our Program
Play With Purpose
Monday to Thursday (8:30am - 3:30pm)
Friday (8:30am - 12:15pm) - Limited Availability
We believe in honoring the spirit of every child and fostering relationships, social, and academic readiness skills. Students also enjoy our spacious natural outdoor play space, where they enjoy ample opportunity for gross motor development and investigate nature.
Our curriculum revolves around bi-monthly themes, including activities that span Art, Math, Science, Social studies and Language Arts. We also incorporate weekly music and yoga classes into our program!
Age Guidelines
We welcome children aged six months to five years into the Heartworks Montana program. They’ll enjoy playing alongside peers their own age, learning from older role models, and becoming role models for younger children!
We balance play-based and teacher-guided activities to balance your child’s natural curiosity with the learning of gentle boundaries.
“Kids learn more than the ABCs and 123s—they learn how to be caring, responsible people who make the world a better place.”
— Kelly Libby

Summer Program (Monday - Thursday)
Summer camp at Heartworks Montana is an extension of our school year program, following the same rhythm of the day and offering hands-on, child-led, teacher-guided instruction through play in math, science, social studies, language arts, as well as art, music, motor skill and speech development and free explore.
We will spend quality time outdoors playing, planting, picnicking, and going for walks to explore parks, playgrounds, and museums.
Friday half days are available 8:30am - 12:15pm (Limited Availability)
Summer tuition is billed using the same monthly school year rates.
Three weeks/15 days of school closures are reflected in summer monthly tuition (any closure days beyond 15 will be reimbursed in full).
Heartworks Montana is based on a twelve month school year and follows the Bozeman Public School systems calendar (September to June school year), unless otherwise stated. Monthly tuition reflects all closure dates. A calendar of closure dates and reminders will be posted.
We will be closed for a maximum of 4 weeks during the summer. A 7-week summer program, for currently enrolled children, will be offered during non-school months (details below). Monthly tuition remains the same, with the three weeks of closure dates reflected in the tuition.
If you choose to not enroll your child for the summer program, two weeks of vacation pay will be added to your final invoice. A yearly increase in tuition can be expected.
Note: Friday hours are 8:30am - 12:15pm with limited availability.
