The Garden — at Moore Montessori Community School

Southern Pines, NC · Community Partner

A shared gate.

Moore Montessori Community School was built around equitable access to Montessori education. The Garden partners with MMCS by providing early childhood programs on its campus, including tuition-based PreK, toddler, and afternoon options, with scholarships available each year for families with financial need.

The Setting

A Montessori beginning, rooted in partnership.

At our MMCS campus, our PreK children learn in mixed-age Primary classrooms alongside publicly enrolled kindergartners at Moore Montessori Community School. Younger children may begin in our half-day Toddler Community, while afternoon Enrichment Clubs offer art, music, outdoor time, and practical work. Our programs are tuition-based, and scholarship opportunities are set aside each year to help more families begin.
