What Minnetonka Montessori Inc does
Mission
To engage children in learning, using the montessori method of teaching.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
At the school, a child is not constrained to learn exactly what the teacher has chosen for them on any particular day. Instead, the teacher observes each child and helps point them in a direction that will satisfy their development needs.if the learning experience is to occur naturally and joyfully, it must be made available at the proper moment for the individual child. New learning experiences are introduced using specialized montessori supplies to engage each child in learning.children are driven to become independent and competent being in the world. They love to master new skills and progress best at their own pace. Children can usually move about feely, however, reasonable limits of behavior are taught and kindness and respect are always encouraged.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $128k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $1k → $28.
