Admissions Opportunities
Opening April 2026!
Immersion Montessori School is preparing to open its first Research Triangle Region campus in Carrboro, North Carolina, offering Nido & Toddler programs for children ages 3 months–3 years.
This campus will provide authentic Montessori environments intentionally designed for our youngest learners, with a focus on daily language immersion, warm and responsive caregiver–child relationships, and rich nature-based exploration. The program supports secure attachment, early independence, and developmental rhythms through thoughtfully prepared indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Carrboro campus is led by Kaitlyn Friot, former Director of our Vermont campus, who has relocated to North Carolina with her family. Kaitlyn brings deep Montessori experience and proven leadership, ensuring continuity of IMS quality as the program takes root in the Research Triangle community.
