Our Story
Stephanie and Jim Cass moved to Hamilton in 2016 and saw the need for educational based childcare and new learning environments. Ms. Steph, had over 25 years of teaching experience and started Curious Minds Montessori and Preschool in the summer of 2018. After the first year of growth, there was an increased demand for educational based childcare, and they decided to expand in the summer of 2019 into a new facility. Curious Minds grew to include Infant, Toddler, and Preschool programs.
In the fall of 2019, Stephanie and Jim discovered Acton Academy. A highly personalized, self-paced, learner-driven education model and fell in love with it. Thus, Acton Academy Hamilton was created.
