Open Up for Fall

Our mission is to increase access to high-quality, low-cost/no-cost Montessori early childhood education for children and families. 

In order to achieve our mission, we are steadfastly committed to combat poverty-related, race-related, gender-related, and all other forms of unfair bias that stand in the way of children’s success in school. 

Because of the pandemic's impact on communities already facing cultural and institutional racism, this mission is more critical now than ever.  

Without safe schools for children to attend, communities of color face ever greater learning losses, income losses, and depleted health and social support. This crisis is poised to impact the wellbeing of families for decades to come.

You can help.

By giving today, you help Alder Montessori, our tuition-free, high-fidelity Montessori preschool and kindergarten program, prepare to safely welcome students back to school.
