What is Montessori?
Imagine a classroom uniquely designed to build confidence, inspire independence, and foster a love of learning. Imagine a teacher equipped to individualize instruction so each child receives what they need to learn and grow cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically. Imagine a child who is not only proficient in math and reading, but who is prepared for a 21st century world that requires collaboration, focus, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Imagine Montessori education.

Build Back Better
There is tremendous opportunity for Build Back Better legislation to increase access to Montessori education. There are a lot of details in the legislation with many more to be developed state by state. You can get an overview in our brief and by watching our webinar. Then please stay tuned for advocacy actions as we’ll need all hands on deck at both the federal and state levels to ensure Montessori schools can participate in these historic funding streams!
