Mission & Values
WHO WE ARE
Mission & Values
Montessori on Wheels brings culturally affirming Montessori experiences into neighborhoods, honoring families as children’s first educators.
Our mission, vision, and core values ground every decision we make—from how we design programs to how we partner with communities.
MISSION
Our Mission
Montessori on Wheels partners with families and communities to bring culturally affirming Montessori experiences into neighborhoods, empowering parents and children to learn, play, and dream together – while honoring and carrying forward their stories.
VISION
Our Vision
We envision a world where Black and Brown children and families can learn, play, and dream together — free to reclaim, revive, and restore their joy, stories, and potential through Montessori education.
WHAT GUIDES OUR WORK
Our Core Values
These core values describe how Montessori on Wheels shows up with children, families, and communities every day.
RESPECT FOR THE CHILD
Children are capable, curious, and worthy of trust.
FAMILIES, COMMUNITY, & ANCESTORS
We honor families as children’s first educators and value the wisdom of community.
SENSORY-BASED LEARNING
Movement and hands-on exploration fuel learning at the deepest level.
EQUITY & LIBERATION
Education must center justice and freedom for children of color.
JOYOUSNESS
Joy is a foundational condition for learning, belonging, and creative expression. We celebrate children's joy and creativity as the heartbeat of our work.
From vision to action.
Our mission, vision, and values come to life through our work in motion: Exposure Visits, School & Community Partnerships, and Parent & Caregiver Empowerment. Together, they create pathways for families to see, feel, and choose Montessori in their own communities.
