Our History

Founded by a group of passionate parents and educators, the Centennial Montessori Children's Fund was created to formalize community support for accessible and high-quality Montessori education.

We're a nonprofit, separate from the school, run by a volunteer board. Every grant we make is decided by a board vote.
