Abstract/Notes: The Day 1 Academies Fund aims to support a network of high-quality, full-scholarship, Montessori-inspired preschools in underserved communities. To provide insight into the fund's pedagogical inspiration, in this report I provide a high-level overview of the Montessori preschool landscape in the United States. This overview includes 5 key programmatic elements of a traditional Montessori approach to teaching and learning in classrooms serving preschool-aged children, the reported availability of Montessori programs that enroll 3- and 4-year-old children, and what is known about enrollees' demographics. To situate this information in the larger, publicly financed, early education policy context, I also provide similar data for state-funded pre-K and federally funded Head Start programs for preschoolers. In addition, I review research on children's outcomes after participating in U.S.-based Montessori preschool and elementary programs. This overview provides some context for understanding how the Day 1 Academies Fund eventually defines the constructs of high quality, Montessori inspired, and underserved. This review also suggests it could be useful for the Fund's stakeholders to undertake short-term research examining the current early education options of families with low incomes living in low-access-to-Montessori states as well as long-term research aimed at expanding the research base on the effects of Montessori programs aimed at preschoolers.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter explores critical race theory (CRT) within Montessori contexts from the perspective of people of the global majority residing in the U.S. with implications for other oppressed groups globally. CRT developed from American legal scholarship in the 1970s to explain the persistence of racism after the Civil Rights Movement’s apparent success. CRT argues that the legacies of racism persist and provides an analytical lens to examine the ways that racism pervades various facets of life, including education. This chapter examines how Montessori education infused with culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) and anti-bias/anti-racist (ABAR) curricula and can be a viable alternative to educational systems that perpetuate white supremacy and fail students of the global majority and other marginalized groups. However, the chapter also challenges aspects of Montessori practice that retain a Eurocentric perspective to the exclusion of other cultural, racial, and linguistic groups’ contributions.

Abstract/Notes: This chapter recounts the 100-year history of the Montessori movement in the United States and the role of Montessori within the contemporary American education landscape. We explore the origins of Montessori education in the US in the early 1900s, the mid-century revival of Montessori in private schools, and the growth of Montessori programs in public schools in conjunction with the school desegregation and charter school movements. We also situate Montessori education within a national context, including teacher education, education research, and questions of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. We conclude with considerations for the future of the Montessori movement in the United States.
