Carol Gayhart

Ms. Carol has been working with young children for many years in the New England area. She is new to North Carolina but is glad to have made this her home. Although she has been here a short time there is so much to appreciate about this great state.
Ms. Carol has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Early Childhood and Psychology. She says the most important part of her education is what she has learned from the children that she has met throughout her teaching career.
Teaching in the MCS environment is a new chapter in her life and she is grateful for this opportunity to learn, grow and develop and acquire skills that will establish her as a Montessori teacher.
She loves spending time with her husband, and says that the best times they have had in NC are just sitting outside talking, laughing and appreciating the awesome weather. She enjoys her neighborhood; she says you can step outside and there is always a friendly person inviting you over for a cup of coffee. She loves the hospitality and the kindness of the people that she has met here.
Ms. Carol has completed her Early Childhood Montessori Diploma Training through the North American Montessori Center. She is currently pursuing her Early Childhood (Ages 3-6) credentials through The Center for Guided Montessori Studies.
