Description: Charlotte Montessori School is committed to providing an environment for our children to explore and expand the boundaries of their world. Our classrooms meet and challenge the needs of each child, and provide a calm environment for learning and growth. We are committed to using the methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that will provide the children with what she termed "an education for life."
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
