Traditionally when a town was planned a civic building was the center of the neighborhood from which all activities radiated. Planners for the Clark's Grove neighborhood envisioned a school for that civic building. After locating Montessori Children's Cottage, a school with a reputable ten-year performance and similar vision, the dialogue began.

Approached at a time when the school was in the process of planning for future expansion and a permanent structure, and realizing the mutual benefits of locating the school in a New Urbanism development, the school agreed to move from Conyers to Covington to establish a permanent home.

The Montessori School of Covington is owned and operated by Montessori Children's Cottage, Inc. Clark's Grove, LLC is not affiliated with Montessori Children's Cottage, Inc. Interested parents should contact Montessori Children's Cottage, Inc. regarding admissions policies.
