Our School
Housed on a quiet residential street in the beautiful mountain town of Carbondale, Colorado, Mount Sopris Montessori School serves 95 preschool children ages 18 months through age 6. Founded in 1981 by Kathryn and Mark Ross, the not-for-profit school is the only Montessori preschool in the Roaring Fork Valley and is recognized as an exceptional environment for preschool learning.
In its 26 years in the community, through the caring of efforts of its staff and families, the school has expanded its facilities twice and increased its enrollment. The Board of Directors, again in 2007, began to plan to expand the school. Once completed, the new classrooms will serve an additional 35 children. While the school has evolved, its mission and focus remained the same.
