Great Beginnings is thrilled to share that we are scheduled to take ownership of the Foothills Campus on June 3, 2024! This investment will open up a world of potential for growth and program enrichment for the children and families within our community.

​

In order to welcome 1- and 2- year-old toddlers into the new space in the fall of 2024 (our top priority), several modifications will need to be made to ensure the classroom space is conducive to learning and fulfills the requirements of our Montessori curriculum.  In addition, we are developing plans to establish a community garden and collaborate with memory care facilities to support individuals in need within our community at this new facility. 

 

Please consider a donation to Great Beginnings' '$400k in 40 Days' fundraising campaign.  The achievement of this fundraising goal will enable the immediate improvements needed to serve this expanded population of children and the community as a whole.   In addition, this fundraising effort will fund larger, deferred maintenance items associated with an aging building.  

​

For nearly 40 years, Great Beginnings has strived to be the best Montessori and early childhood center in Gallatin Valley. $400k in 40 Days is a loafty goal, but together, we not only enable GBMS to continue, but to expand, its mission to instill a joy of lifelong learning and to send children off as responsible, respectful citizens of the world.   

 

Together, we can cultivate an enriched environment for our children, honor nature, and uplift the members of our Bozeman community.  Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of supporting our mission with a donation! 

 

Warmest Regards,

Jamey McCormick (Head of School) and the GBMS Staff
