What makes us different ?

At UU World of Children, we’re more than just a Montessori school—we’re a full-day, year-round program built to support families. We're proud to be the only Montessori program in Greenville that offers both early care and aftercare as part of our core program.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to accessibility and inclusion. Every day, children from all backgrounds learn, discover, and thrive together.

Hear from some of our families

  • "Our son just finished his first year at UU World of Children, and we are thrilled. The teachers are nurturing and attentive, and the community of families feels genuine and connected. The Montessori approach has sparked his independence and curiosity, and we’ve seen him grow in confidence, deepen friendships, and engage thoughtfully with learning."

    - Prentiss S.

  • "A calm and caring environment that we feel so lucky to be part of! Our children are learning to be kind, independent and curious about the world, but their emotions are honored. They have also been incredibly flexible with our family's needs, both financially and emotionally. An extremely nurturing place! "

    - Ruth S.

  • "We can't speak highly enough of UU WOC. Our son has thrived and grown so much through this program (he's about to enter his third year). He loves learning and loves the caring people supporting him. UU WOC is as much a community as it is a school."

    - Aaron V.

  • "UUWOC has had a life-changing impact for our family. It has been over 4 years since our child transitioned from the Montessori program to the public-school system but the values she took with her continue to guide her daily life. There truly is nothing like the diverse, inclusive environment at UU. From the teachers and staff who listen, support, and communicate with care, to the community of parents and family who quickly became lifelong friends – it’s more than a school, it’s a place where children thrive as themselves."
