Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Morning Glory Montessori's mission is to be a safe, nurturing environment and empowering refuge that affirms, inspires, and supports Black boys to become who God designed them to be. MGM currently serves boys 3-6 years old, with plans to expand our programming to include girls and ultimately up to 3rd grade.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Morning Glory Montessori's mission is to be a safe, nurturing environment and empowering refuge that affirms, inspires and supports Black boys to become who God designed them to be.

  • After seven years of visioning, planning, and preparation, including a year-long capital fundraising campaign and construction project, Morning Glory Montessori received its official license from the Minnesota Department of Children, Youth, and Families and opened its doors on September 10, 2024. MGM began serving children and Founding Families in our inaugural school year. In June 2025, MGM successfully completed its pilot year with its dedicated AMI-trained, educational staff intact, culminating in a Year-End Juneteenth Community Celebration and Graduation for our first student who exited MGM performing seven points above the kindergarten readiness standard.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
