Family Star Montessori

Home to one of the rare center-based early head start programs in the united states that is firmly grounded in the montessori method, Family Star effectively unifies the best practices of montessori education with robust comprehensive services typically integrated into head start programs. The present-day capacity allows Family Star to serve 250 children at a time, 180 in center-based classrooms in northeast and northwest denver and an additional 70 in the home-based program. Over 70% of the students and families live at or near the poverty level, and 13% of students have an identified disability or special need. Family Star levels the educational and societal playing field by giving these students and families the resources and education they need to be competitive with their peers.
