The Children's Schoolhouse

The Children's Schoolhouse We believe children learn best when they can choose, discover, question, understand and be unique.

The concept of The Children’s Schoolhouse was started in 1971 by a group of Davidson parents looking for a preschool based on sound principles of early childhood development. The belief that children are naturally curious and intuitive people who thrive by exploring and discovering the world around them has remained consistent through the years. Our curriculum is built on a trust in the power of p

lay and on the concept that children learn primarily on doing rather than listening. We use an emergent curriculum to encourage discovery learning through hands-on activities, open-ended situations and play in numerous centers. We combine this with a “multi-age approach” reinforcing the benefits of cooperative play, while assisting teachers in supporting each child’s individual needs and talents. We are a cooperative, therefore families play a critical role in all of this, both inside and outside of the classroom.

Such a special day for our Schoolhouse friends 🦅

We had the opportunity to visit the Carolina Raptor Center, and it was an experience filled with curiosity, wonder, and so many meaningful moments.

The children were able to see these incredible birds up close, learn about how they are cared for, and explore the trails together. It was beautiful to watch their questions, their excitement, and the way they connected with both nature and each other throughout the day.

Experiences like this are such a meaningful extension of what happens in the classroom, giving children the chance to learn through real life exploration and connection.

We’re so grateful for days like this 🦅🦉🌿🌞

So much life in the garden lately 🌿
From planting and watering to exploring and discovering, the children are fully immersed in the experience.

We’ve made some wonderful improvements to the space, and one of our parents added hand painted signs for the plants, which the children have been loving. It’s such a special part of our days.

We are thrilled to announce our historic schoolhouse, outdoor kitchen house, well house, and both B&G sheds now have brand-new roofs! The previous roof was over 25 years old and developed several leaks. A massive thank you to Zurix Group Roofing & Repair for their expert craftsmanship on these extensive structural repairs—giving us a roof designed to last for decades.

Huge shoutout to the incredible team at STOP Restoration Services of Charlotte North NC 🏠💙

When our historic schoolhouse faced an urgent leak concern, they stepped in with so much heart and expertise. From our first assessment with Jason and all the steps along the way with the owner, John, we felt completely supported.

Their team didn't just see a project; they saw a community they wanted to protect. They were professional, transparent, and finished the job even sooner than we hoped—ensuring our students and teachers have a safe place to learn.

If you're looking for a restoration company that acts with true integrity and a mission-driven spirit, look no further than John and his crew. Thank you for being such an outstanding example of putting people first!
