What Rosebay Montessori does
Mission
Wildflower is an ecosystem of decentralized montessori micro-schools that support children, teachers, and parents. Wildflower aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high quality, beautiful learning environments as they follow life's unfolding journey.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Blurring the boundaries between home-schooling and institutional schooling, between scientists and teachers, between schools and the neighborhoods around them. At the core of wildflower are 9 principles that define the approach. A growing number of shopfront montessori schools have been started using the wildflower approach.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $101k to $207k (+104%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 27% · 2022 0% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
26% of ROSEBAY MONTESSORI’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (57% for the typical peer).

50% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ROSEBAY MONTESSORI.
