Children. Parents. Teachers. Together.
Located in Cabarete, one of Dominican Republic’s poorest communities, 3MM makes early childhood education accessible to families who are ready for change.
5 out of 10 students live in poverty and attend 3MM on full scholarship; however, the full student population has children from various cultures, nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. We are proud of our diversity, which reflects the community in which we live!
By using the Montessori method, supporting and collaborating with parents and training local teachers, 3MM has created a model for early childhood education that makes a difference.
There are many ways that you can support the 3MM community.
