Montessori Center of Minnesota (MCM) is a nonprofit organization that serves the Twin Cities and is dedicated to increasing access to Montessori education for families through its onsite early childhood program and outreach programs. Over 70% of children attending MCM's early childhood program receive financial assistance, bringing Montessori education within reach for families.

MCM also does important work to address the teacher shortage and diversify teachers in Montessori classrooms through its teacher training program. Representation among teachers is critical for children's success. MCM recruits and supports a diverse and passionate community of educators by offering financial assistance aimed at breaking down access barriers. Learn more at montessoricentermn.org.

This June 1st, 200 MCM supporters will gather at its beautiful campus in St. Paul for its annual fundraising event, Montessori All-Stars, to raise funds to support this important work. The event will feature voices from the MCM community. This year's event is extra special as MCM marks its 50th anniversary.
