Julie Shumway, administrator, talked about the school and its participation in Give Local York, a countywide day of fundraising set for May 1:

What is the mission of Montessori Children's House of York Inc.?

We are a not-for-profit private school serving children and adolescents. We follow Maria Montessori's proven model of education as the key to freeing each human's full potential and moving toward a more peaceful society.

Why is the school excited to participate in Give Local York this year?

We are so excited to announce the creation of our first scholarship program, for families who could not otherwise afford Montessori education. Especially exciting for us is that 100% of donations from our Give Local York campaign will be changing the lives of real students in our community. Research shows a Montessori education is one of the best ways to erase achievement gaps among low-income families; we want to do that for York.
