Urooj developed a passion for children at a very young age, and this has been a big part of her life growing up. She followed her dreams of providing exceptional child care for younger children, and founded the Infant-Toddler program at GMMS in 2017. Urooj strongly believes that a child’s first learning experiences deeply affect their future physical, cognitive, emotional and social development, and that is why she strives to make learning an enjoyable experience for all children.

The GMMS Curriculum
Our Montessori Environment
Each classroom is a small community of children. Our students develop kindness and courtesy, respect, universal values, personal responsibility, self-awareness and independence.
Our Montessori Environment
Our classrooms are bright, warm, aesthetically pleasing filled with scientifically designed colorful Montessori materials, continent maps, science center, mathematical models, plants, books, music and art.
Children happily work in a peaceful and prepared environment with a soft, calming music playing in the background. They move freely, selecting work that captures their interest and are engaged in a hands-on approach to learning.
Children pride themselves in taking care of their environment. Watering plants, sweeping, dusting, cleaning and getting the snack table ready for the friends is an important part of our daily routine. While the older students follow the instructions on the responsibility chart, our very young children happily take the responsibility for the care of their child-sized environment.
With children growing together over many years, close relationships develop among the children and adults that create a life time of beautiful memories!
Individualized Learning
Our qualified and dedicated teachers create an environment where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions. Individual curriculum helps the directress to nurture each child’s independence, creativity and intelligence.
Individualized Learning
At Growing Minds Montessori School, we pride ourselves on recognizing each child’s unique talents and abilities, and guiding children during their most critical years of development.
Low student-to-teacher ratio enhances the unique opportunities for students to grow and develop while helping to instill a lifelong love for learning.
We have very thoughtfully created an environment that recognizes and accommodates all different learning styles. Children move about and choose materials from easily accessible shelves. They work on floor rugs or at small tables. They are free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum as he is ready, guided by the teacher and an individualized learning plan.
Parent Involvement
Teachers at Growing Minds Montessori School recognize that the child’s education does not stop when he or she leaves the classroom and goes home. Instead, they consider the time the student spends at home as a continuation of the learning process and parents are seen as key partners in the education of the child.
Parent Involvement
Dr. Montessori felt the child from birth to six years old has an absorbent mind that soaks up impressions at a fantastic rate. The more the child encounters, the easier it is for him to retain it. A child who is offered many varied experiences from a guiding rather than leading adult will have a richer, happier life and will come closer to reaching his/her full potential.

Our Newsletter
In an effort to make the most of the learning experience, Growing Minds Montessori School regularly publishes a newsletter containing both the activities completed during the previous period and the ones planned for the up-coming weeks. Parents find this as a valuable resource to reinforce key concepts at home and become an active part of their child’s education.
