Annual Fund & Company Matching Programs



As our Annual Fund continues, we invite families to consider making a gift—and to check whether your employer offers a matching gift program. Thanks to generous company matches, we’ve already raised over $11,000, doubling (and even tripling, in some cases) the impact of many donations!


This year’s Annual Fund supports two exciting priorities: enhancing our Elementary Playground and expanding our Library Collection with new titles and updated technology. Every gift, no matter the size, directly enriches our students’ daily experiences and strengthens our Montessori community.



Join us in supporting the Annual Fund today and help TMS continue to grow and thrive!

Montessori Moment



Maria Montessori designed her educational materials more than a century ago, yet they continue to be used in classrooms around the world today because they are profoundly effective.


Grounded in careful scientific observation of how children naturally learn, Montessori materials are intentionally hands-on and multi-sensory. Children learn using all their senses: listening, seeing, touching, and actively engaging with concepts. When a child traces a sandpaper letter or builds a mathematical idea using concrete materials, multiple senses are activated, strengthening understanding, retention, and neural connections.


The materials are also self-correcting, allowing students to recognize and adjust errors independently. Thoughtfully sequenced, they guide children from concrete experiences to abstract thinking, fostering both deep comprehension and growing independence.


Their longevity is rooted in grounded in results. When children learn with their hands, their minds, and their whole selves engaged, learning becomes meaningful, lasting, and transformative.
