The Need

Why SAMAOL Matters in Queens

📍

A Majority Black Community We Call Home

St. Albans, Jamaica, Hollis, Springfield Gardens — SAMAOL was built by this community, for this community. Our leadership are Queens natives who attended Montessori themselves.

🏫

Limited Montessori Access in Communities of Color

The Montessori method produces proven better academic, social, and executive function outcomes — yet remains largely inaccessible in communities of color. SAMAOL closes that gap.

📈

Proven Financial Track Record

Since 2013, SAMAOL has averaged approximately $1.8 million in annual program service revenue. IRS filings are current through FY2025, demonstrating sound governance.

💡

Early Investment, Lifelong Returns

Research confirms quality early childhood education produces lasting improvements in academic outcomes and earnings — with the greatest returns for children from under-resourced communities.
