RE: Community Meeting for Albemarle Montessori School, SP201800015
Dear Neighbor,
We, Albemarle Montessori School, invite you to attend a Community Meeting on Thursday,
September 20, at 6:00 pm regarding our request to establish a small elementary Montessori school
for up to 36 students in grades one through six. Currently, we have a daycare center (which we call
a preschool) for children from ages two to six in the adjacent building in the Hollymead Professional
Center at 1550, 1552, and 1554 Insurance Lane. The preschool has been in this location since 2014.
The proposed elementary school at 1562 Insurance Lane (Tax Map Parcel 461320100002F0, in the
Places29 North Master Plan area) will consist of one classroom, an art room, an office, two
bathrooms, and two small storage rooms in a space of 1,970 square feet. This school would provide
families on the north end of the County an option for Montessori education at the elementary level,
relieve pressure on student enrollment at area public elementary schools, and help enhance the
available educational opportunities. No residential units are being proposed.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for residents to receive information and
ask questions about the proposed project, County review procedures, and relevant regulations and
policies of the County applicable to the proposed project. County staff and I will be available at the
meeting to answer questions about the project, Montessori elementary education, and the review
process.
The meeting will start (doors will open) at 6:00 pm. The event will be held at the Hollymead Fire
Station (3575 Innovation Drive), off of Airport Road.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Sincerely,
F cleric F. atlin
