Mission Statement
Promote the conditions for Montessori education to flourish by cultivating and coordinating connection of Montessorians in Minnesota and Minnesotans to Montessori through outreach and education, networking, professional development support, and advocacy within and beyond the Minnesota Montessori community
About This Cause
The Minnesota Montessori Network is a collaborative community promoting education that nurtures the development of the whole child, from infancy to adulthood, as envisioned by Dr. Maria Montessori, and substantiated by current research. We strive to invite engagement, coordinate efforts and enhance connections among parents and families, alumni, educators, professionals, schools, universities, organizations, media, and government to collectively safeguard and nurture the developmental needs of our state's children. There are no membership fees to join. Every person with an interest in the well-being of children is welcome to participate in any network activities regardless of age, affiliation, experience, or knowledge of Montessori education. Our vision is that Montessori education options are so widely available, easily accessible, and well-understood that every Minnesota family has the opportunity to choose Montessori education from birth through high school, and has the knowledge to make an informed decision with their child. The seed to our foundation was long-standing Montessori organizations joining together to form a new national initiative in the United States, named The Montessori Public Policy Initiative (MPPI) with a key objective to create coalitions in every state. MPPI's mission is to create a groundswell of activism through the establishment and support of grassroots advocacy coalitions, working together toward the shared goal of advancing Montessori through public consensus, shared interests, and efforts at the local, state and federal levels of public policy. In response to this call for a coalition formation in Minnesota, Minnesota Montessorians worked together to form the Minnesota Montessori Network to connect Montessorians in Minnesota and Minnesotans to Montessori
