Mission Statement
Crescent Islamic Montessori School is a non-profit preschool founded by the community for the community. We have the distinction of being the only Islamic Montessori school in the greater Portland Metropolitan area and have been serving the community since 2004. Our mission is to provide a developmentally appropriate program based on the principles and philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the recommendations of the latest research in early childhood education encapsulated within an Islamic atmosphere.
About This Cause
"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six. For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement is being formed. But not only his intelligence: the full totality of his psychic powers. At no other age has the child greater need of an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance he has of achieving perfection." --Maria Montessori Our mission is to provide children ages 3-12 with a quality Montessori education encapsulated within an Islamic atmosphere. The basic tenet of Montessori education is that a child learns best in an enriched, supportive environment through exploration, discovery, and creativity with the guidance and encouragement of a trained and caring staff. Crescent Islamic Montessori School strives hard to serve the community by maintaining affordable tuition rates, providing need based grants in the form of scholarships, and creating employment opportunities for qualified members of the community. As an independent non-profit school we receive no financial / tax support from the state / federal government and depend entirely upon tuition, fees, donations, volunteers, and fund raising activities to balance our annual operating budget. It is a well known fact that tuition income alone at almost all independent non-profit educational institutions simply does not cover the entire cost of operations. It is therefore crucial that we appeal to our community to assist us in maintaining and more importantly enhancing the services Crescent Islamic Montessori School provides to the community. The long term growth and sustainability of this unique Islamic institution depends entirely on the generosity of our wonderful community. We invite you to explore the pages in this section to find out more about how you can get involved through the available programs. We would also like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks for your past and future support.
