Roxbury Roots Montessori, Inc. is the vision of its founder, Renee Jolley, who wished to address a need by bring the magic of Montessori education to a community that looked like her. Having taught in the Montessori classroom for years, she desired to have a local program that would benefit children who derived from Afrocentric backgrounds and families from all backgrounds who wished to expose their children to multiculturalism within the classroom. The program began as a parent-child initiative, educating parents on how to complement their little learner’s education at home. It grew into a small, home-based program offering care to six families, and now seeks to serve more children by becoming a center-based program.
