The Garden Montessori 895 Linden Road, Pinehurst, NC 28374

"My 3 y.o. has had an awesome experience at the Garden. I have stayed home with my son predominately until I found the Garden. He loves going to school/camp and his teachers are very genuine and caring. One of the things I love most is the value placed on time outside exploring with peers. My son loves to be outside and he therefore loves this camp filled with nature trails, a resident bunny and a garden to care for. The diversity of experiences day to day including music, yoga, etc. is a huge highlight. We are very fortunate to have our son attend."

"I absolutely cannot say enough good things about this school. Upon first moving to the area, I was searching for a Montessori school for my 3yo. When coming across The Garden, I was a little hesitant at first because it is not an accredited school but I went ahead and scheduled an observation. I was absolutely blown away. **If you are familiar with Montessori, you will know that a program doesn’t necessarily need to be accredited to be completely in-line with the Montessori method. This is one of those schools.** It is a peaceful, happy, welcoming, ordered, and mindfully prepared environment. The guides are so respectful, considerate, and caring, the materials, the carefully balanced group of children… It is all so beautifully in-line with Montessori. Since starting here, my daughter has blossomed in so many aspects of her being. She is always excited to go to school and on the weekends asks, “When do I get to go back to school?”. She has developed a love of learning and her curiosity and personal needs are respected and nourished here. The staff go WAY above and beyond and truly care about the children and it shows in every aspect. They are all such amazing people and together create such a positive energy that is almost felt when you walk in. They take into account that what goes on outside of school affects what goes on during school and are always ready and willing to help in any way they can. It feels like they care about the family as a whole and have helped me with my own personal issues at times. I trust the entire staff completely with not only her safety but her emotional and mental well-being. I know she will be respected in every way, at all times and I never worry about anything when I drop her off, which is such a blessing that I rarely experience. Our experience here has been beyond amazing and we couldn’t be happier with her first school experience."

"My son has had a wonderful experience at The Garden. Every morning he says he is ready to go to school! His teachers are so caring and patient, and the variety of activities for the children to do is fabulous."

"I cannot say enough good things about The Garden! I have been fortunate enough to have both of my girls in this program. I have found myself learning more about them on their independence and creativity. The staff also is beyond caring. They truly go above and beyond for these children and it really shows! The Garden is a genuine gem and will continue to use them and recommend them to everyone!"

"The Garden has been an exceptional place for our child to grow and learn. The teachers are caring, patient and truly care about their students. The administrators are extremely receptive to feedback and our daughter's first schooling experience has been incredible."
