Baden Montessori School in St. Louis, MO opened its first primary classroom fall of 2022. Head of school and primary teacher, Kim Roberson, converted a closed Catholic school classroom in this under-resourced neighborhood into a fully outfitted Montessori classroom.

It’s time to celebrate the launch of a child-centered Montessori initiative in this struggling neighborhood. Local children can pursue their curiosity in a safe child-centered environment. Baden Montessori is recognized by the state and offers reduced tuition to qualified 3-6 students.

MGGF funded the acquisition of Montessori materials for this classroom. Congratulations to Kim and all those who helped make this school a reality. Here’s her message of thanks to MGGF, but really to all our donors.
