Kristina,

You might be interest in Ecovillage at JP:

We have just arranged the funding for an in-town, ecovillage, with  
mixed use, and two cohousing neighborhoods, including one non- 
residential component being - you guessed it - an existing 6000 sf   
Montessori School (known as Copper Beech Montessori.)
