Secret Garden Montessori is fortunate beyond measure to belong to such a strong community. Our annual fundraising campaign launches each year on Giving Tuesday and our goal this year is to raise $12,000 to make Montessori education accessible to those who cannot otherwise afford it. Any amount helps, and every donation will go directly to families in need of financial assistance. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our school continues to be one of the most affordable private schools in the area and is dedicated to remaining accessible to the community. Your tax-deductible donation helps us to carry out that mission and can be applied to either the 2025 or 2026 tax year. We thank you for your partnership.​

​

This year, we have several ways for the community to support our programs and classrooms:

​

Shop Mabel’s Labels:

Mabel’s Labels will donate 15% of every purchase to our Scholarship Fund! These durable, waterproof labels are a favorite among our staff and families—perfect for shoes, clothing, water bottles, and backpacks. You can even customize them! Additional options include clothing stamps, silicone bands for bottles, and medical alert labels.

​

Why you’ll love them:

• Keep items out of the lost & found

• Avoid mix-ups with other children’s belongings
