Montessori on Wheels® is thrilled to share some exciting news with our community, news that we believe will ignite the passion for education, community, and empowering refugee and immigrant parents and families around the East Colfax area. Montessori on Wheels™ and The Village Institute have initiated a strategic partnership aimed at collaborating on the reopening of The Little Village in Aurora and fostering parent engagement within the refugee and immigrant communities. Both organizations have been at the forefront of promoting high-quality education and creating inclusive environments for children from diverse backgrounds. The synergy between Montessori on Wheels™'s mobile educational initiatives and The Village Institute's community-driven approach has led to this inspiring collaboration, and we know that we are excited about this coming together of our programs, considering it fitting, timely, and values-aligned.

The reopening of The Little Village marks a significant milestone for Montessori on Wheels® and our colleagues. By combining the Montessori approach with The Village Institute's expertise in working with refugee and immigrant families, we aim to create a nurturing educational space that celebrates cultural diversity, fosters curiosity and independence, and establishes a strong foundation for lifelong learning. Furthermore, our collaboration will extend beyond the physical space of The Little Village. We are committed to actively engaging refugee and immigrant parents, recognizing the invaluable role they play in their children's education. By offering workshops, cultural exchange programs, and parental support groups tailored to their unique needs, we hope to empower and equip parents with the knowledge and skills to actively participate in their children's educational journey. We believe that this partnership holds immense potential to make a lasting impact on the lives of the children and families we serve.

By combining our strengths, resources, and shared passion for educational excellence, Montessori on Wheels® and our colleagues are confident that we can create a supportive and enriching environment that promotes educational success and cultural integration. We believe that together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of refugee and immigrant families, empowering them to thrive and contribute to their communities around East Colfax.
