Cozy Indoor Spaces
Our nurturing indoor environments are inspired by Reggio Emilia, Waldorf, and Montessori principles, using natural materials and loose parts to enhance creativity.

Our Play-Based Approach to Learning
At Piedmont Progressive Preschool, children learn through play, exploration, and meaningful connection. Our play-based, child-led approach is thoughtfully supported by daily outdoor experiences and warm, inviting classroom environments that encourage curiosity, creativity, and confidence.
​
Our natural playground inspires adventure and discovery, while our cozy indoor classrooms are intentionally designed with open-ended materials and rotating centers that support hands-on learning and social-emotional growth. Together, these spaces allow children to move, create, collaborate, and learn at their own pace.
​
For more than 20 years, Piedmont Progressive Preschool has been a trusted part of the Charlotte, NC community. We value strong family partnerships and offer opportunities for caregivers to be involved in ways that feel meaningful to them—helping to create a connected, supportive preschool experience for every child.

How We Spend Our Days
Each day at Piedmont Progressive Preschool is guided by a familiar rhythm that helps children feel confident, grounded, and ready to explore. Through play-based, child-led learning, children move between indoor and outdoor experiences, connecting with nature, materials, and one another in meaningful ways.
​
Time outdoors is woven into every day—whether children are climbing, digging, gardening, or imagining together in our natural play spaces. Indoors, our warm classrooms offer thoughtfully curated centers that invite creativity, collaboration, and discovery at each child’s own pace.
This balance of freedom and structure allows children to learn joyfully, build strong relationships, and develop a deep sense of belonging within our preschool community in Charlotte, NC.
