About

When children come to school eager to make their way to their classrooms, the value of a Gladwyne Montessori education is clear. At Gladwyne Montessori, children love learning.

Let’s not forget that Gladwyne Montessori is a non-profit organization that leverages charitable giving to advance its mission. Giving Day is an opportunity to come together to celebrate all that makes Gladwyne Montessori such as special place for children to learn, play and grow.

With your help, we will achieve our goal of 225 contributions (one to represent each of today's young learners) and $125,000 raised!

Together, our generosity ensures that our teachers can dream big about exciting new projects for young learners and that they have the resources they need to put their ideas into action.

Today’s special song!

Gladwyne Montessori teachers are AMAZING! Every day, they go above and beyond for our young learners, then on special days like today, they do even more! I bet your child will recognize the voice of Mr. Chris, one of our talented music teachers, on our Giving Day video!

Gladwyne Montessori's Gratitude Tree

Gladwyne Montessori's Lower and Upper Elementary students have been hard at work creating the foundation for a Tree of Gratitude, which will come to life on Giving Day, as each gift adds one leaf, decorated by (and representing) each child!

Children love learning at Gladwyne Montessori and this week they will be reflecting on what they value most about learning at Gladwyne Montessori and decorating leaves that will bring our tree to life this Friday!
