Since opening its first preschool at Great Hearts Roosevelt in 2022, Young Hearts has been an integral part of the Great Hearts family. Now, as they prepare to launch their second location, they will occupy four classrooms on the first floor of the Archway Cicero building, complete with a dedicated entrance and parking area for convenient drop-off and pick-up. This exciting addition to the campus is made possible through the collaboration of Archway Cicero Headmaster Stephanie Kaye and Cicero Prep Headmaster Christa Reichert, whose support will strengthen educational opportunities for families in the community.

Young Hearts Executive Director Keri Campbell shared her excitement about the expansion, stating, “I am so excited to be opening our second Young Hearts Preschool on our Cicero campus. Our Young Hearts team is looking forward to serving young students as they begin to discover their love of learning on their academic journey.” Young Hearts Preschool is dedicated to fostering a warm, engaging, and developmentally enriching environment for preschool and pre-kindergarten students. Under the leadership of Campbell and Operations & Compliance Manager Maria Rodriguez, the program is designed to support the cognitive, social, and emotional growth of young learners.

Guided by The Creative Curriculum®, the preschool ensures that educators understand not only what and how to teach, but also the reasoning behind best practices in early childhood education. The curriculum promotes growth across key developmental domains, including literacy, mathematics, science, history, the arts, and English language acquisition, ensuring a well-rounded foundation for lifelong learning.

Young Hearts places a strong emphasis on cultivating curiosity, creativity, and joy in the classroom. With vibrant and interactive learning spaces, children are encouraged to explore and develop a love for learning. In addition, the preschool maintains a strong partnership with parents, offering biannual parent-teacher conferences to foster open communication and collaboration in each child’s education journey.

Interested families should plan to join the upcoming Open House to meet the teachers and explore what preschool looks like at Young Hearts on March 25th at 6PM at Archway Cicero. This event is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the program, ask questions, and see firsthand how Young Hearts fosters a love for learning in young children.

As part of the Great Hearts network, Young Hearts Preschool upholds a commitment to academic excellence and character development. This expansion reflects Great Hearts’ mission to nurture both the hearts and minds of students from their earliest years.

Great Hearts Arizona Superintendent Brandon Crowe expressed his enthusiasm for this new chapter, stating, “We are thrilled to welcome Young Hearts Preschool to the Cicero campus and look forward to seeing our youngest learners flourish under their care.”
