This years #Giving Tuesday theme:

"The Prepared Environment in Montessori is Crucial to the Classroom"

Join us this year as we participate in the annual #Giving Tuesday campaign on Tuesday, November 28 from 12:00 am - 11:59 pm. #Giving Tuesday is designed to connect people whether it’s with volunteering your time, utilizing your gifts, skills, or expertise and monetary resources, within our community.

Preparing Our Environment

The prepared environment is crucial to the Montessori classroom, and we believe that every child should have the opportunity to learn in an environment that nurtures their independence and confidence. For over 20 years, our sink and cabinet area has faithfully served generations of children. However, it’s showing its age and poses a challenge: it’s too high for our little ones to reach. We are also in need of painting the classrooms and building interior. We have secured a volunteer to do the painting; however, we will need to purchase the paint and supplies for this project. Our goal this year will be $8,998.00 to cover the expenses for the painting supplies and for replacing the sink and cabinet area.


New Sink and Cabinet Area

This year’s #Giving Tuesday donation will enable us to install a new sink, at the perfect height for our preschoolers, and a new cabinet area, and purchase the necessary supplies that will enable our volunteer to refreshen classrooms and school interior walls.


Your donation of any amount is never too large or too small.  Thank you for whatever you provide during this year’s #Giving Tuesday campaign. Remember the date, November 28, 2023 from 12:00 am - 11:59 pm.
