About
The Children's House
The Children's House is a small private Montessori school and was founded in 2004, in
the town of Davidson NC. We have a single multi-age preschool class, catering from ages 3-5.
A Toddler Community will be added in 2012-2013.
Location and Hours
We are located in the town of Davidson NC. We offer a
5 Day Program
Monday - Friday

Teachers and Staff
Teachers at The Children’s House are role models. We listen attentively and
think before we speak. We consciously teach our children to be kind and
courteous to one another and to treat each other and adults with respect.
The child receives specifically directed encouragement rather than blanket
praise — this feels more genuine to the child and fosters self-motivation
and positive self-regard.
