Top 5 Reasons Families Choose Montessori:

  • A young child sitting on a blue and white striped rug indoors, looking at a picture book with illustrations of a person.

    Child-Centered Learning

    Each child follows their own pace, guided by curiosity and readiness.

  • Colorful pencils in various colored holders arranged on a white shelf.

    Hands-On Discovery

    Specially designed materials make learning concrete, engaging, and joyful.

  • A young girl with blonde curly hair wearing a light purple shirt with yellow and green patterns, holding a white spray bottle with a green nozzle, working on a small paper pot filled with soil at a wooden surface. There is a larger container of soil nearby.

    Independence & Confidence

    Children gain practical life skills that build responsibility and self-esteem.

  • A child sitting on a blue carpet playing with a wooden activity board that has various moving and spinning parts, including a metal rolling mechanism, a purple strap, and a blue string.

    Focus & Concentration

    Purposeful activities help children develop attention and perseverance.

  • A group of young children gathered around a table outdoors, with a woman standing beside them, engaging with the children. The children are sitting on a wooden bench, some with backpacks, and appear to be participating in an activity or discussion. The setting is outside a building with large windows, and the scene is illuminated by natural daylight.

    Community & Care

    Multi-age classrooms foster empathy, leadership, and collaboration.

Montessori empowers children to grow into confident, capable learners—ready for school and for life.

Our Mission

We at MLC accept all creeds, religions, countries of origin, abilities, ages, and beliefs. We strive to provide safe, positive, and developmentally appropriate educational experiences that reinforce a child’s natural curiosity, determination, enthusiasm, and sense of self in community and the world at large. The Montessori Method helps the child to interact with the self correcting prepared environment and calls to the natural sensitive periods of development. We aim to provide as many new experiences and opportunities as possible to empower the child and prepare them for their futures.

It is our vision to provide school for all regardless of economic background or differing learning needs. MLC accepts NC Subsidies and the NC Opportunity Scholarship, and provides in-house financial aid to those who qualify. Guides at MLC create prepared environments tailored to each individual child’s needs and interests to bolster their learning.
