Casa de Niños Emanuel - Fundacion MIR

Maestro Cares Foundation funded the construction and expansion of a Montessori daycare center, Casa de Niños Emanuel, in the neighborhood of La Mascota, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The center provides high-quality early education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Using the Montessori method, the staff prioritize comprehensive learning through play-based education that empowers children to thrive and succeed.

Phase I was the construction of the original building of Casa de Niños Emanuel, which opened in April 2022.

Phase II will include the addition of a second floor to the existing building plus the purchase and renovation of an adjacent building. The new property will allow the center to offer after-school programs and more outdoor recreation in a larger green space.

Once complete, the expansion will increase the school’s capacity from serving 80 to 300 children between the ages of two and five years old.

Casa de Niños Emanuel is a project of Fundación MIR, a non-profit organization founded in 2019 to expand equitable access to early education in underserved areas of Buenos Aires.
