Learning Goals
At Quantum Montessori, we understand that every learner is unique and learns differently, and that is why our learning pod is tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of each child. We believe that by creating a supportive and heart-centered learning environment, we can help our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With this in mind, we strive to assist learners in achieving the following learning goals:
1. Develop Positive Social Skills: Learners in the 1st and 2nd grade will learn how to cooperate, communicate effectively, and respect their peers in a virtual learning environment. They will also learn to value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of their pod mates.
2. Develop Self-Government/Regulation and Independence: Learners will learn how to manage their own learning and become more self-sufficient. They will learn to take responsibility for their work, manage their time effectively, and seek help when needed.
3. Foster a Love for Learning: In our learning pod, our top priority is to inspire a love for learning in our learners. We believe that when children are engaged and passionate about their education, they develop a lifelong love for learning that will stay with them throughout their lives.

Hello! I'm Ms. Ashleigh, the proud founder of Quantum Montessori and the Floating Hearts program. With a deep passion for education and a commitment to fostering holistic development in children, I have dedicated my career to creating enriching learning experiences that blend academic excellence with emotional and social growth.
My journey in education began many years ago, driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact on young learners' lives. I believe in the power of the Montessori approach, which encourages independence, curiosity, and a love for learning. This philosophy has been the cornerstone of Quantum Montessori, where we strive to provide an environment that nurtures each child's unique potential.
Floating Hearts is an extension of this vision, integrating Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and emotional intelligence into our curriculum. I developed this program to help children not only excel academically but also to grow into empathetic, resilient, and well-rounded individuals. By focusing on self-awareness, emotional management, and interpersonal skills, we prepare our students for success in all areas of life.
At Quantum Montessori, we are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive community where every child feels seen, understood, and valued. It is incredibly rewarding to witness our students' growth and to know that we are making a positive difference in their lives.
Thank you for considering Quantum Montessori and the Floating Hearts program. I look forward to welcoming you and your child into our community and embarking on this exciting educational journey together.Reviews
