The school will follow coronavirus safety measures outlined by Washington state officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Child care and early learning programs remain open in Washington state. Enrollment at the school is currently underway. The schools are built in low-income communities and designed for underserved children, offering them access to free programs. Montessori schools emphasize hands-on and self-directed learning, with uninterrupted blocks of working time, in mixed-age classrooms.
