Our vision is to sustain a diverse, mindful and authentic Montessori Educational community. We help children become self-motivated, independent individuals who respect themselves and the world in which we live. We have three Childrens House preschool classrooms increasing our current enrollment capacity to 60 students. Our Elementary program serves up to 14 children from grades 1-6. Approximately 90% of our elementary students receive scholarship assistance from the State of North Carolina through either ESA Grant or the Opportunity Scholarship programs. When possible, we provide financial aid to our Childrens House students when a family needs assistance. Our goal is to be able to participate in the countys child care subsidy program in the next year to help support families with a greater financial need. In September of 2024, Hurricane Helene brought catastrophic levels of flooding to the WNC region. BMTMs school building flooded from water runoff from the road and around the building. Once we were able to assess the damage, we learned that 6,000 square feet of flooring would need to removed and replaced. This included 6,000 sq ft of asbestos tile that was underneath the floor in the building. The process was lengthy and required the school to be closed for 8 weeks. The school was able to offer reduced programming out of a local church for 3 weeks once the Town of Black Mountain restored access to water. Volunteers helped us move classrooms, clean up after the storm, empty rooms that required restoration, track down supplies and drinking water, restore the playground after storm damages, move back into the building and clean after restoration was complete. In the aftermath of the storm, we learned that we can count on our parent and local community members to help. 602216 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 18 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 6 5 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false false false false NC X X Jenuine Books 3213680262 P O Box 697 Lake Lure NC 28746 X Erin Van Note Vice Pres Exec Director 0.00 0.00 X X 71368 0 0 Autumn Wheeler Board Member-Teachers Advocate 0.00 0.00 X 36567 0 0 Matt Brock President 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jessica Lyons Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sarah Happel Secretary 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelly Jarrad Board Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 107935 0 0 0 false false false 112233 60458 172691 School Year Tuition 611600 539153 539153 BeforeAftercare Tuitio 611600 21756 21756 Summer Camp 900099 25275 25275 Enrollment Fees 611600 7450 7450 593634 0 Miscellaneous rebates 900099 843 843 Supplies Fees 900099 2491 2491 3334 769659 596125 0 843 73555 62522 7355 3678 413801 352172 41086 20543 38166 32441 3817 1908 7464 7464 28337 11049 17288 1587 1032 335 220 4815 3884 931 4388 2042 2346 53494 50920 2574 8535 8108 427 8867 6868 1752 247 Program SuppliesMaterials 30151 30151 Hurricane Disaster Recovery 37483 37483 Memberships and Licenses 2632 2147 485 Personnel Costs 2258 332 1926 1225 1065 160 716758 602216 87946 26596 243792 272453 3805 7490 111373 40034 74303 71339 321900 351282 1900 4884 72471 45968 74371 50852 X 247529 300430 247529 300430 321900 351282 52901 0 X false false false X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 94468 32538 61930 12372 2963 9409 4533 4533 71339 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false false false true Form 990 governing body review Part VI line 11 The 990 is prepared by a a CPA firm and reviewed by the bookkeeper and treasurer for proposed revisions and final approval.
