From the words of Carlisle Parent's:
“Our experience at Carlisle Montessori School has been wonderful! We love the small size of the school and the warm, homey classrooms. Gina Ward, the director, is passionate about the Montessori philosophy, and this is reflected in the careful design of the classroom environments and the quality of the teaching staff. The teaching staff is very stable - some have been with the school for many years. Both of our children started at Carlisle as toddlers, and our oldest will soon be graduating from the Primary program. It has been amazing to see their growth over the years, and I attribute much of their capabilities to their time at Carlisle. With regard to math and reading/writing skills, it's clear that the Montessori method has provided an amazing foundation for our oldest. Now in his kindergarten year, he is doing division and fractions, and reading and writing independently. But more importantly, he is self-motivated, curious, and able to apply the skills he is learning at school to the daily world around him.
I also appreciate Gina's leadership and dedication, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was able to quickly adapt to the "new normal," while being conscious of the needs and concerns of families and staff. Finally, she is continually investing in the school - during our time at Carlisle she has opened a new classroom, expanded the outdoor spaces, and hired additional teaching and support staff. I'm happy to be part of the Carlisle community and be able to watch the children - and the school - grow!”
Jennifer Lee - Current Parent At Carlisle Montessori School
Carlisle Montessori School of Buckhead is a HIDDEN GEM amongst schools and daycares. Our experience here has been BEYOND EXCEPTIONAL!
We started off with our little girl when she was 18 months as we felt this school was a lot better comparatively. That truly has been the case and we started learning around the Montessori concept. The Montessori track is new to both of us and honestly speaking we have got cold feet around it a couple of times during the journey. However, Ms.Gina and the team gave us clarity on how the Montessori program brings the BEST OUT IN CHILDREN and assured us to trust the program. She even showed us examples of students who were then graduating and their educational, behavior levels. We decided to continue with the program and we are now huge fans of the Montessori program! As our little one is now graduating in 2023, we are even continuing our little one's education with a Montessori program into the next level program - Lower Elementary (and maybe more!). Ms. Gina and team are true believers & followers of MONTESSORI principles.
The concepts are so clearly taught with real world materials that the foundation is strong, which we all know matters a lot. Apart from teaching the kids around educational concepts (Reading, Writing, Math, etc.), the other aspects are also well taken care of - This includes social interactions, behavior & manners, show and tell, leadership, mentoring and helping others, arts and crafts and everything else!
We are amazed at the TRANSFORMATION of our little one and are truly GRATEFUL to the Carlisle Team. BIG SHOUT OUT to the AMAZING teachers and staff - They are AWESOME!
So glad to be part of the Carlisle family!

Dr. Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Rome in 1896. She was the first female physician in Italy. Her educational background also included Anthropology, Psychiatry and Biology. Montessori was very interested in children and their development. She observed how the young children could easily construct themselves from the environment provided to them. How the child easily absorbed information and experiences. She as a scientist, created a learning method and designed special materials to meet the child's natural needs to adapt to and learn from their world.
In 1907 Maria Montessori opened "Casa Dei Bambini" in San Lorenzo, Italy for the poor children ages 3 - 6. The children flourished and word of the "Montessori Method" began to spread throughout the world. In 1929 Dr. Montessori founded Association Montessori International (AMI) to insure integrity of the principles of the Montessori Method.
