Rosehart Montessori School (Caledonia, Wisconsin)

Rosehart Montessori School was a private early education and daycare, located at 4052 North Main Street in Caledonia, Wisconsin. It operated from 1965 to 1992.

History
Rosehart was the second Montessori school in the Racine area, after the Racine Montessori School opened in 1963. It was founded in 1965 by Rose Hartman, a former teaching assistant at the Racine Montessori School. The schoolroom was constructed as an addition to Hartman's house at 4052 North Main Street. Instruction began in November 1965, with a class of 17 preschoolers, and tuition was $350 per year. The school expanded to include a daycare center in 1972, directed by Montessori teacher and nun Sister Ruthanne Reed, who founded Small World Montessori School in Racine after one year at Rosehart. The school closed in 1992, and Hartman's house was demolished for an expansion of the neighboring North Point Shops shopping center.
