Maria is on a mission to offer every child their right to an education and a brighter future! She brings years of experience as a Montessori teacher to MdC’s Education Program.

Learn more about Maria by reading the two-part blog linked below.

Learning is not just about sitting in a classroom and being taught. It involves engaged learning that combines subject knowledge with hands-on activities.

Exposure to letters and numbers in MdC’s preschool programs builds a foundation for knowledge. Students use play dough as a learning tool.


Our goal is to raise $100,000 during the month of May!
