The Montessori Family Alliance

The Montessori Family Alliance is a partnership of Montessori parents who want to learn more about Montessori and how to support their children at school and at home. It provides 24/7 access to expert information, access to free webinars, and aims to unify the Montessori community through many varied resources.

Our Hearts Grieve

We join the nation in grieving the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, as well as the deaths of Breonna Taylor, a first responder in Louisville, Kentucky, shot in her own bed; Ahmaud Arbery, shot while jogging near Brunswick, Georgia; and far too many other black men and women, who have been the victim of racist action in our nation. The International Montessori Council (IMC) and the Montessori Foundation are committed to advancing world peace, equity, inclusion, and diversity. We recognize that these are not isolated incidents but emblematic of a longstanding, egregious pattern of systemic racism – and we stand against it. We must dedicate ourselves to the achievement of real justice and equality for all, because injustice and inequality—against even one person—diminishes all of us.

We recognize that it is not enough for us to reject racism. We must be committed to fighting it, to eradicating it on individual and systemic levels.

The Montessori Foundation Hosts Virtual Town Hall On Ending Systematic Racism

 The International Montessori Council (IMC) and the Montessori Foundation are hosting a weekly, virtual Montessori Town Hall on the topic of “Standing Together —Our Role in Ending Systematic and Internal Racism” starting today, June 5th, at 3 pm EST. The IMC and Montessori Foundation are committed to advancing world peace, equity, inclusion, and diversity.  Both organizations recognize and acknowledge the internal work we all must do. To that end, they are forming a social justice task force that will address and act on: the inner work of every Montessori teacher, parent, and leader to root out unconscious habits of prejudicial thinking and ideologies, a social justice curriculum and the instructional changes we must bring into every prepared environment and teacher education program, changing our schools’ culture, communications, hiring, and professional development practices and norms, to be more equitable, diverse, and inclusive. Click the link below to register and join via Zoom.
