GROWING THE FUTURE OF MONTESSORI 

 

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

At Montessori Center of Minnesota (MCM), we believe that every child and every adult deserves access to the kind of education that nurtures independence, confidence, and peace. 

That’s why access and equity are at the heart of all we do.

Your gift to MCM increases access to high-quality Montessori education for children and adult learners through our early childhood programs and nationally-recognized teacher training programs.

Here’s how:  

MCM’s teacher training and mentorship programs recruit and support a diverse and passionate community of educators. We offer scholarships and tuition assistance aimed at breaking down barriers and diversifying the field of Montessori educators. 

• Last year, 55% of MCM's adult learners identified as BIPOC, and nearly $300,000 was awarded in financial assistance. Our on-site early childhood program

Cornerstone Montessori School (CMS) increases access to Montessori education for children and families from culturally and economically diverse backgrounds. 

• Last year, 64% of children attending CMS received financial assistance (totaling nearly $200,000), and 70% identified as BIPOC.

Through the Montessori Partners Serving All Children (MPSAC) collaborative, we support community leaders as they open and operate their own culturally-rooted Montessori programs in their communities. 

• Last year, MPSAC partner programs served nearly 250 children in communities across the Twin Cities and beyond. 

Our Birth to Five Montessori Family Program nurtures the earliest years of life by offering free twice-weekly classes for children ages 0-5 and their families, introducing them to the Montessori approach. 

• Last year, this program reached more than 120 children and their family members, the majority of whom identify as BIPOC.
