Opening Doors for Movement, Safety & Independence

A Montessori Prepared Environment Project


“To assist a child, we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.”

- Maria Montessori


There are approximately 25 days until Giving Tuesday 2025. This year, Giving Tuesday falls on December 2, 2025. Our goal of $20,000 is to raise funds to cover the full cost of replacing eight steel doors and installing six updated entry keypads for the door. This project includes the materials, installation, security hardware, and contingency.

•$2,400: Movement Maker - Fully funds a new, secure door.

•$1,500: Door Guardian - Protects entrances where learning meets the world beyond.

•$1,000: Prepared Environment Friend - Supports a space designed for exploration.
