About Westwood Academy
Our Montessori Education Philosophy in Denver and Arvada
Westwood Academy was founded on the belief that children thrive when they are trusted, respected, and surrounded by beauty. Guided by the core principles of Montessori education and enriched by developmentally appropriate play-based practices, our program offers a nurturing, child-centered approach to early learning.
Inspired by Montessori, Grounded in Compassion
Our founder, “Ms. Bea,” created Westwood Academy after decades of experience in Montessori classrooms as a teacher, administrator, and coach. Her vision was to create a Montessori education philosophy in Denver that honored each child’s unique rhythm—while also making high-quality early childhood care accessible to working families.
We carefully prepare each environment with natural materials, soft lighting, and cozy touches that feel like home. From wooden shelves filled with purposeful work to spaces for quiet rest and meaningful connection, every detail is intentional.
A Community of Families and Educators
At the heart of Westwood Academy is partnership. We believe in open communication with families, daily updates through our secure app, and a culture of collaboration between teachers and parents. Whether you’re exploring Montessori for the first time or have long admired its values, we’re here to support your family’s journey.
Our locations in Denver and Arvada serve a diverse, welcoming community of families who share a common goal: to raise children who are confident, curious, and kind.
