I have more than 20 years experience teaching middle school, high school and college-level interdisciplinary science courses while acquiring science skills outside the classroom in environmental education, the National Park Service, and Bioinformatics. My newest venture is owning a nature-based early childhood education school in North Carolina.

Maureen Ord welcomes you to A Place To Grow Three Rivers. The childcare center is located on 1.5 acres of Piedmont forest in Wingate, North Carolina. Maureen has spent the majority of her career teaching about science and nature in both formal and informal settings. She holds a BS in Environmental Science, a MS in Secondary Education Science, a STEM Teaching and Learning certificate, and just recently earned a Level III Early Childhood Administration certificate.
She is thrilled to bring the A Place To Grow nature-based early child care model to North Carolina. One of the things that drew Maureen to the A Place To Grow franchise is the experiential, play-based approach to learning that is often lacking in the era of standardized testing. She can’t wait to see where your child’s imagination and curiosity will take them while in her care.
When she’s not at school, Maureen can be found at home gardening, reading, or enjoying the company of her husband Matt and their two French Bulldogs, Watson and Teddy.
