Open Door School is a nonprofit, nonsectarian preschool in the Cotswold area, serving children ages two to five. Founded in 1966, the school follows a discovery learning philosophy rooted in progressive education—centered on the belief that learning, growth, and development are natural, intuitive, and inevitable processes. Open Door School is committed to safeguarding the dignity of each child, creating an environment where children feel free to explore, question, experiment, and play. The school supports peaceful conflict resolution, encouraging children to cooperate rather than compete. It also promotes acceptance and respect for differences, helping children build social understanding through everyday learning experiences. Open Door School offers six half-day preschool classes for ages two through five, as well as one full-day, year-round multiage class (established in 2011). As a community-focused early childhood program, Open Door School was the first program in Charlotte-Mecklenburg to be accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). For families looking for a values-driven preschool dedicated to discovery, dignity, and respectful peer relationships, Open Door School provides a thoughtful foundation for early learning.
