What it reported doing in 2013
Green Valley Montessori, established in 2006, has offered the children of the community an educational setting that is surrounded by peace, serenity and the natural environment. Our school offers a Montessori education for both preschool and elementary students, ages 2.9 through 9 years old. Being a Montessori school, our curriculum from preschool to elementary school is highly dependent on educating our students to become self-reliant as well as future stakeholders in our society. We teach peace studies as well as geography in all our classrooms.At Green Valley Montessori our main objective is to provide the highest quality educational environment in which our children can develop within themselves the skills, attitudes, habits and ideas that will serve and guide them throughout their lives.Our goals for each child reflects the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori: Independence - we allow independence within a structured, carefully prepared classroom. Each child determines the direction of their own learning and works willingly towards the goals they set for themselves.Academic Excellence - The curriculum is personalized and tailored to the appropriate developmental stage of each child. Using hands on learning, with everyday objects teaching language, math and science, children develop concrete learning and thinking skills.Responsibility and respect for Self, and others. - In our classrooms, each child is an important and valuable person and is treated with respect. Their opinions are valued and their needs and desires honored. The children learn that by respecting others, others will then respect them.The Environment - Conservation and environmental awareness is also an important aspect of the classroom and the children are eager to participate in making their world a safer and cleaner place.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
