Montessori school breaks ground in Berlin, opens soon

(May 12, 2016) Coastal Early Learning Center, an authentic Montessori educational program for children ages 2-5 years old, broke ground Monday, May 2, on the new 4,800-square-foot facility, located on the corner of Seahawk Road and Flower Street in Berlin.
CELC is due to open September 2016.  
Coastal Early Learning Center is the first true Montessori program in Berlin. Montessori schools are individually owned and operated and based upon Dr. Maria Montessori’s scientific observation of children from birth through adulthood.   
Seeing a need in the community, CELC was started by its owner and certified Montessori teacher, Carrie Coots in 2014, holding Montessori classes in her home. Encouraged by community interest, she recently bought 4 acres of land next to the Stephen Decatur Middle School and began her journey of expanding her Montessori program.
Coastal Early Learning Center is now accepting applications for the 2016-17 school year. CELC offers a 2-3-year-old class, as well as a mixed-age class of 3-5-year-olds on a full- or part-time basis.  For more information, visit www.CoastalEarlyLearning.com or contact Coots at 410-603-4224.
