What is Green?
We chose to use Green Business Certification as a way to approach
the design, construction, and operation of our business. We wanted
to help reduce our carbon footprint impact on our environment while
providing the healthiest work and play space possible.
The responsibility for sustaining our world as a healthy environment
for future generations rests with us all. Conservation and sustainability
are values that we share and each day we impart these values to the
children here at Midtown Montessori.
