WILDFLOWER FOUNDATION WORKS TO ENSURE EVERY CHILD CAN LEARN IN A HIGH-QUALITY, BEAUTIFUL ENVIRONMENT DESIGNED BY LOCAL TEACHERS TO REFLECT THEIR COMMUNITIES. WE SUPPORT A DECENTRALIZED NETWORK OF SMALL, COMMUNITY-EMBEDDED, TEACHER-LED MONTESSORI SCHOOLS, PREPARING EDUCATORS TO DESIGN, LAUNCH, AND LEAD SCHOOLS THAT BLEND PROVEN MONTESSORI METHODS WITH INNOVATIONS IN LEADERSHIP AND FAMILY PARTNERSHIP.
