Dear Garden Families,
We have news. The kind we’ve been dreaming about for a very long time.
The Garden Montessori is getting a home.
Not a rented classroom. Not a shared space. A real, permanent home, with land, gardens, space for animals, and room for our programs to grow in ways we’ve always envisioned but never had the space to build.
The Garden Montessori Farm School will bring together everything we believe about childhood: Montessori practice, connection to the natural world, creativity, and the kind of slow, intentional learning that truly impacts who children become.
Here’s what we can tell you now:
Megan & Ellen have purchased a property in Carthage on 7 acres that includes spacious buildings we will renovate and make our own, raised garden beds, dedicated space for animals (think bees, chickens, ducks, goats and maybe even a donkey!), a creek, open fields, and room to grow. We will begin transitioning into the space this summer. Our Family Cooperative will launch on this campus in fall 2026, with full Montessori enrollment for ages 15 months through lower elementary (6-9yrs) opening for the 2027-2028 school year.
We hope you will join us in this new adventure!
