Community Learning Center / Partners

Gamble Montessori Elementary is more than a school — it’s a Community Learning Center (CLC). Working with our lead agency, the YMCA, we bring together community partners, families, and neighbors to support our  students inside and outside the classroom. This year, we’re especially excited to be growing our outdoor education and after-school enrichment offerings.
