NCMPS grows Montessori in the public sector with a focus on equity, access, and sustainability. Strong public Montessori programs have the power to disrupt racism, poverty, and structural inequality and transform lives and societies for peace and justice. Nationally, NCMPS builds a public Montessori network—an inclusive community of teachers, coaches, leaders, policy-makers, and researchers committed to child-centered developmental education and the life-changing transformations that result. Locally, NCMPS partners with communities and schools throughout the country to build strong public Montessori programs committed to equity, access, and sustainability. NCMPS provides support through direct school services including start-up, training, assessment, coaching, and a suite of practical tools. We work directly with dozens of schools, supporting hundreds of teachers, and impacting the lives of tens of thousands of children in public Montessori programs throughout the U.S.
