Our Story
Founded in 2012, Greensboro New School was created by teachers and parents who wanted something different for early childhood education. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit preschool, we opened our doors with a shared belief that school should honor the whole child and nurture a lifelong love of learning.
Our approach blends ideas from Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia with our own deep commitment to individual attention and growth. We are both educators and parents who truly love teaching. Each day, we bring our experience, knowledge, and care into the classroom to create a thoughtful, engaging environment where young children feel valued, capable, and inspired.
We are building a school where children are excited to learn, and where the school adapts to each learner rather than asking children to fit a mold. As a multi-aged program serving children ages 2½ to 6, we meet every child at their own developmental level, supporting academic, social, and emotional growth.
Our school year runs from late August through early June. The school day is 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, with families choosing a 3-, 4-, or 5-day schedule to best meet their needs.
Our Classroom Environment
Our classrooms are designed with natural materials, open-ended toys, and cozy spaces that invite children to explore, create, and connect. We believe the environment is a powerful teacher, so we carefully choose and rotate materials to spark curiosity and support different stages of development.
Our Commitment to Diversity
We proudly welcome families in all their diverse forms, without regard to disability, economic status, linguistic background, race, culture, religion, or sexual orientation. At Greensboro New School, every child and every family belongs.
