The 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." Our philosophy embraces the educational ideas and practices of Dr. Maria Montessori. 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. We inspire children to care about learning, and to become self - starters who set their own high standards for work and social interaction. Using Montessori based applications and materials within a traditional curriculum; our teachers instill in our children the desire to know, to inquire and to expand the boundaries of their lives.
