Montessori Works

⏰ One week to go!

On June 23, Delaware nonprofits will come together for Together Tuesday—a statewide day of giving that supports organizations making a difference in our communities.

At Montessori Works, we're working to expand access to Montessori education so more Delaware families have a free public Montessori option for their children.
Every donation helps us support existing Montessori schools, advocate for future programs, and create more opportunities for children to thrive.

We hope you'll join us next Tuesday as we work toward a future where Montessori education is accessible to all.

Every child deserves access to an education that helps them thrive.

Montessori Works is a Delaware nonprofit dedicated to making that possible by expanding access to FREE Montessori education throughout the state. Through the creation and support of Montessori charter schools, we're working to ensure that more families have Montessori education as an option for their children—regardless of their financial circumstances.

Montessori education nurtures independence, curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. When access barriers are removed, more children have the opportunity to benefit from this transformative approach to education.

As we approach Together Tuesday on June 23, we're inviting our community to help us continue this important work. Your support helps us grow opportunities for Delaware families and bring free Montessori education to more children across the state.

Montessori education isn’t a trend — it’s a time-tested approach that’s already changing lives all around the world. 🌎

Here’s what many people don’t realize:
✨ 15,000+ Montessori schools worldwide
✨ 3,500+ schools in the U.S.
✨ 590+ public Montessori programs across the country

From Washington D.C. to Denver to Houston, families already have access to public Montessori education through district and charter schools. These communities have seen firsthand how Montessori supports academic growth, independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.

At Montessori Works, we believe Delaware families deserve access to those same opportunities. 🤍

We’re working to expand FREE Montessori charter school options so more children can learn in environments designed to help them truly thrive.

Together, we can bring this proven model to more families across Delaware.

When a community comes together, children thrive. 🤍

At Montessori Works, we believe every child deserves access to a high-quality Montessori education — regardless of income or zip code. That’s why we’re working to expand FREE Montessori charter school opportunities for families across Delaware.

This Together Tuesday, we’re inviting our community to help us continue creating spaces where children can learn, grow, and thrive through Montessori education.

Every share, donation, and conversation helps move this mission forward. We’re so grateful to have you here with us. 🌿

What if math actually made sense to kids? 🔢✨

In Montessori classrooms, children don’t just memorize steps — they build a deep understanding of how math works through hands-on learning and exploration.
Research shows Montessori students demonstrate stronger problem-solving skills, conceptual math understanding, and higher math achievement. When children can see, touch, and experience math concepts, learning becomes meaningful instead of frustrating.

Montessori helps children move beyond “just getting the answer” and toward confidence, curiosity, and true understanding. 💙

Montessori education builds so much more than academic skills. 🌎✨

In a Montessori classroom, children learn how to focus deeply, collaborate with others, solve problems independently, show empathy, and take responsibility for their community. These are the very skills our world needs most — not just in school, but in life.

At Montessori Works, we believe every child deserves access to an education that nurtures the whole child. That’s why we continue working to expand FREE public Montessori opportunities for families across Delaware. 💙

Because when we invest in children, we invest in stronger communities, brighter futures, and a more compassionate world.
