Organizations Filed Purposes: The mission of our School is to provide affordable, high quality pre-school education guided by the Montessori teaching principles, with the goal of fostering in our children a strong sense of independence, creativity, respect for self and others, and an appreciation of diversity in people, and a deep love of learning. Our School is a community that prides itself on its respect for, and celebration of, diversity. Our families and staff come from a number of cultures, speak a number of different languages, celebrate different religions, represent diverse family constellations, and generally, reflect all the faces of Brooklyn. This respect for and commitment to diversity is reflected not only in our hiring and employment practices, but is also a consideration in our admissions procedures. Respect and positive communication are key values for our school.

At Montessori Day School of Brooklyn (Brooklyn Montessori Ltd.), we continued to serve families and children in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn through the 2019-20 school year. We worked with up to 109 two to five year old children daily, in seven classrooms, using our Montessori-focused pedagogy to help them grow as independent learners and engaged participants, both here and in the wider community. Our on-site program was closed on March 13, 2020 due to the city and state mandated Covid-19 closures of all onsite programs, but pivoted to remote learning until the school was allowed to resume it's on-site program in September 2020 in conformity with the city and state guidelines.During our time onsite and in person, Faculty (both lead teacher, assistant level and administration) continued to develop their Montessori-based skills and knowledge by participating in online and local workshops offered by AMS, Seemi-Trillium, CMTE and other programs; and by receiving mentorship from experienced and credentialed teachers in our program. We continued to hold onsite professional development workshops on topics ranging from lifesaving procedures to early childhood best practices. We continued working with parents by conferring with them individually about their children's development and by preparing them for the next steps beyond this preschool program with our independent and public Next Schools Nights series. Teachers also provided parents with written guidance about expectations for children's growth and progress in a Montessori early childhood setting. On March 18, 2020 until June 19, 2020, we pivoted and implemented our virtual program including virtual enrichments to serve the students of our MDS community. The virtual program consisted of a robust and engaging curriculum, prepared and instructed by classroom teachers.We continued to allocate 2.3% of our annual budget towards funds reserved for our Tuition Assistance Program and maintained the maximum aid award at 50% assistance. The program was authorized to distribute up to $87,978 in aid to families for the 2020-2021 school year.
