“Charlotte Montessori School is recognized by the American Montessori Society”.
We provide an authentic Montessori education to children ages fifteen months to six years old in a loving, safe, joyful environment. Founded in 1971 by parents, Charlotte Montessori is the oldest Montessori school in Charlotte and one of the oldest in the Southeast.
Our philosophy embraces the educational ideas and practices of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). She was an Italian doctor, psychologist and educator who devoted her life to improving the traditional structure of educating children. This Montessori inspired philosophy includes:
-Regarding the child as an individual with a unique pace of learning and range of talents;
-Providing an educational environment tailored to an investigative process of learning; and
-Training children in wide – ranging fields geared to prepare them for all areas of life.
