About Green World School
Green World School is a peaceful, nature-based preschool that offers a nurturing environment for children aged 2-5. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach and incorporating elements of Montessori philosophy, the school emphasizes outdoor learning, hands-on activities, and collaborative projects. Children spend much of their day exploring nature, tending gardens, caring for pets, and creating art, which helps foster creativity, independence, and self-confidence. The curriculum is arts-infused and process-based, encouraging children to question, reason, and hypothesize while engaging in meaningful activities. The indoor environment is calm and supportive, with a balance of individual play and group instruction, including singing and language practice. Parents consistently praise the dedicated staff for their ability to connect with each child and meet their unique needs. Teachers foster a safe space where children feel comfortable expressing themselves fully and confidently. The school’s Director is highly regarded for her deep knowledge of child development and her ongoing support for families. Many families describe the community as warm, tight-knit, and like a second home, with children forming lasting friendships and experiencing significant personal growth. Overall, Green World School provides a positive, engaging, and nurturing foundation that benefits children well beyond their preschool years.

Both of our daughters loved GWS and the only reason we aren't still attending is because we moved from Charleston. Highly recommend!!

GWS is wonderful! Our child was only there for 7 months before aging out to kindergarten, but we have loved this school from the start. It’s a small class size, focus on nature, but also teaching math, writing, Spanish skills, and more! You will not regret sending your children here. ♥

Both of my children attended GWS from ages two until Kindergarten. My kids still talk about it and wish they could go back ❤️ GWS was one of the BEST decisions we ever made for our family and will always hold a special place in our hearts.
