The next 60 years and beyond

What will we
grow together?

Imagine a child entering an MSY classroom twenty or fifty years from now.

They may never know every person who made the next home possible. But they will learn there because this community decided Montessori education was worth protecting.

That is the legacy we can create together.

The moment before us

A new chapter begins here.

MSY is a community, not a building. Our children, guides, and families make it a home. We cannot remain in our current facility, so we must create the next place where that community can keep growing.

The challengeOur lease
will end.

Planning today protects Montessori education for generations to come.

Our futureGrow with

Secure a lasting home for Montessori education in Yakima.

Why we are growing together

Built by a community.
For a community.

Relocation is necessary. Together, we can protect the relationships and Montessori education that make MSY a home. A permanent home will give MSY the stability to serve children and families for generations to come.

The future of MSY

Room to keep growing.

The next home will be shaped with care by school leadership and design professionals. What guides the work is already clear: children, learning, and long-term stability.

01

Learning

A permanent home will give MSY the freedom to plan around the rhythms and needs of Montessori education.

02

Connection

The next chapter will make room for the relationships among children, guides, and families that define MSY.

03

Continuity

Long-term stability will let future leaders focus on children rather than the next relocation.

04

Possibility

Campus details will be shaped with school leadership and design professionals as planning advances.

Why MSY

Buildings don’t create Montessori education. People do.

A lasting home matters because of what happens inside it: children choosing purposeful work, guides observing with care and families finding belonging.

Ways to help

Every door matters.

A campaign of this scale grows through generosity, connection, and shared belief in what is possible.

Growing Together

Help grow what comes next.

This is more than a move. It is a commitment to the next 60 years and beyond for Montessori education in Yakima.
