Annual Ray of Light Fund
Westmont’s culture of giving and giving back is what keeps our school moving forward. Our mission to develop capable people by providing the best educational foundation possible is supported and sustained by the generosity of our community.
Our Ray of Light Annual Fund is instrumental in maintaining a strong and experienced Montessori faculty, a rich and diverse curriculum, a safe and attractive facility and an education worthy of Dr. Maria Montessori’s legacy “to educate the human potential”.
Dr. Maria Montessori said it well "This is our mission: to cast a ray of light and pass it on." This is the goal of the Ray of Light fund. It is an annual campaign to give back to the school to enrich our children so that it may continue to be a ray of light for children for many years to come.
The Ray of Light annual fund for our not-for-profit preschool is your opportunity to make a lasting impact on your child’s education. Your contribution directly supports essential resources such as enriching classroom materials, retaining and supporting our talented teachers, and unforgettable foundational learning experiences. Past initiatives have included the outdoor classroom, the outdoor classroom awning, the outdoor classroom heaters and STEM materials for inside and outside the classrooms.
By donating to the annual fund, you help us bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of providing a top-tier education. Join us in investing in the future of our young learners - we are grateful for all small and large donations.
Scholarship/Financial Support
“The Jason K. Jacobs Early Childhood Education Scholarship does more than celebrate the life of a man who is dearly missed… it celebrates the life of a child who can impact tomorrow.” The cost of providing your children with a quality education may be a strain on a family’s budget. Over the years, Westmont has shown a true commitment in helping eligible families reduce the cost of tuition with the support of scholarship funds. This need-based partial financial support, established in 2004, in memory of Jason K. Jacobs, father to a Westmont alumni and a victim of the September 11, 2001 tragedy, is a means to make a Montessori education accessible to families in need. For consideration, please contact Suzy Lombardi, slombardi@westmontmontessori.org.
