About the provider

Language Garden is located on the grounds of the Atlanta Mennonite Church but is not affiliated with the church or any religion. The campus is shared by the Atlanta Mennonite Church, the Paideia Urban Agriculture program, and The Friendship Center, and the organizations work as partners with a monthly meeting.

Applications for the current and upcoming school year are accepted on a rolling basis. Families are required to take a tour. Tour registration is open for families interested in the ‘26-’27 school year. Currently enrolled families and siblings have until mid-February to re-enroll for the following school year. New family enrollment begins on the first Monday of March and continues until spaces are filled.

What families say

““Not all classrooms have four walls.”” — Margaret McMillan

““The outdoors offers limitless potential to young children. It becomes a place where they can go to relax their mind, to be inspired and to deep dive into the world of imagination. It's a place where they can design, create and explore. The possibilities are endless.”” — Angela Hanscom

““Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”” — Fred Rogers
