THE NEED

The first three years of a baby’s life is the foundation for their physical and emotional health and sets the trajectory for the rest of their life. Due to social disparities in the United States, opportunity gaps can show up as early as 18 months of age and widen throughout early childhood.

Oakland Community Montessori School seeks to close the educational opportunity gap by providing quality education opportunities for families in the Bay Area.

THE SCHOOL

Oakland Community Montessori School at FBE Schools (OCMS) is the first preschool to open under FBE Schools, the flagship program of The Foundation for Black Excellence, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide comprehensive intervention, prevention, education, and community services for vulnerable populations in the community.

OCMS is a licensed, in home Montessori preschool located in Oakland, California. Its focus is on providing quality, culturally affirming early education to children throughout the Bay Area. OCMS serves children aged 18 months to 4 years old.
