><h2>Growth Campaign<\/h2>\n<p>At West Side Montessori School, community has always been at the heart of who we are. Whether you walked through the doors this morning or decades ago, WSMS has been a place where children and families find belonging, partnership, and community. For the past 60 years, it has been our greatest joy to support families as they begin on their educational journey.<\/p>\n<p>WSMS has consistently strong enrollment with increasing demand for the Twos program. We strive to meet the needs of our community, and we are thrilled to meet this moment with a bold new step: The<span class=\"gmail-Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Growth Campaign, a <span class=\"gmail_default\">$10 million<\/span>\u00a0investment in our school\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expand<\/strong>:\u00a0We are expanding to include our youngest learners, infants and toddlers (3 months &#8211; 3 years). Our new\u00a0Infant Toddler Center, located at 212 West 95th Street, will open shortly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enhance<\/strong>:\u00a0We must enhance the physical infrastructure of our cherished historic home at 309 West 92nd Street, which has been the heart of our community and the foundation of our Multi-age Program (3-6 year-olds) for the past 50 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Honor<\/strong>:\u00a0We are called to honor our founding principles and commitment to socio-economic diversity. Our expanded enrollment will increase our annual financial assistance from $1.5 million to $1.8 million, providing vital support to 20% of our families. Ensuring that our unique community continues to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>The Growth Campaign is about more than bricks and mortar- -it\u2019s about legacy. Fifty years ago, in 1974, the WSMS community came together to secure our beloved, now 118+ year\u00a0home, at 309 West 92nd Street,\u00a0that has nurtured thousands of children since.<\/p>\n<p>We believe in the power of the early years\u00a0when curiosity blooms, friendships form, and a lifelong love of learning takes root. We will now be there from\u00a0first steps to first friendships.<\/p>\n<p>Help us pay it forward.\u00a0\u00a0Please be a part of this extraordinary moment. Your gift, no matter the size, will help ensure WSMS continues to grow, thrive, and welcome every child with open arms and open hearts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  btnGive'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-twbntu-db714bb68c471b99f708077ca4509820\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-twbntu-db714bb68c471b99f708077ca4509820:hover{\ncolor:white;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href='https:\/\/host.nxt.blackbaud.com\/donor-form?svcid=tcs&formId=be525352-6ac3-462d-ab01-ee9ed5c26b17&envid=p-rPBgEWrXQUK5oTu0dtfwoA&zone=usa' class='avia-color-theme-color avia-font-color-theme-color avia-button avia-button-fullwidth av-twbntu-db714bb68c471b99f708077ca4509820 avia-icon_select-no avia-color-theme-color' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Make a Donation to the Growth Campaign Today<\/span><span class='avia_button_background avia-button avia-button-fullwidth avia-color-theme-color-highlight'><\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-mbpa4rge-7951b1783274d4f80fc3803a60d389d1 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Naming opportunities are available.
