Missoula Community School
explore. create. care.
Missoula Community School is a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool serving children ages 2-6. The Reggio approach is a play-based, inquiry-led educational philosophy rooted in viewing children as competent, capable citizens from birth. At MCS children and teachers are co-constructors of learning — engaging in long-term projects following the children’s inquiry, tackling real world problems that are relevant to the children’s lives, revisiting documentation as a group to inform future learning, and building skills in advocacy along the way.
Exceptional progressive education
Testimonials
“Missoula Community School is the best! My son attended since he was 2 years old, and he thrived in the enriching, playful environment focused on kindness and mindfulness. He loves all of his teachers and the administration is amazing. We love you, Missoula Community School!”

“We were so lucky to find MCS for our son's preschool years! The school curriculum emphasizes social and emotional development, mindfulness, and community service, thus building a solid foundation for our kids to go out into the world and make it a better place. We still go back to MCS for summer camp, and look forward to supporting this wonderful school for years to come. MCS is a Missoula treasure!”
— Ashley C.
“This is the best preschool ever! We spent six consecutive years here with two children attending for three years each. The staff are wonderful, and the social emotional skills my children were introduced to, at such a young age, have been very beneficial as they transitioned to elementary school. Both of my children loved their time at the school!”
