The Montessori Method was created in the early 1900’s by an Italian physician, psychologist and educator, Dr Maria Montessori. The Montessori Method is often described as an “Education for life Dr Montessori felt the goal of childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate his/her own natural desire to learn.

Camp Fire was founded as a national organization in 1910, and started operating in Alaska in 1913. For more than 100 years, Camp Fire Alaska has provided a safe, nurturing place for children where they can develop self-confidence by challenging themselves, exploring their environment and building healthy relationships. A leader in youth development, serving more than 5,000 youth yearly through various programs, we welcome, affirm and support young people and families of all identities and abilities. At Camp Fire, every child will have the opportunity to discover the best in themselves and others in a fun, safe learning environment.

Payless Car Sales is not your typical used car dealership in the Anchorage area. We opened our doors for business in 2013. Our sales staff is non-commissioned, that means they can devote their full attention towards getting you into a great vehicle that you can be proud to drive day in and day out. We also take the time to inspect every vehicle that we have on our lot. This means that you always get a car that you can rely on at Payless Car Sales. We can also help you with a trade-in, and we will buy your car even if you don’t plan to buy from us. Let Payless Car Sales get to work for you!

Mohammad Malik immigrated to the United States in 1980. On average, Malik would be employed with three jobs at once. After toiling away for a decade and half, Malik decided to become an entrepreneur. With no office, Malik started his business endeavor with four vehicles on Spenard Road. Since 1996, he has sold over 25,000 vehicles statewide. Malik’s used car dealership was the first in Alaska to provide digital financing with instant approval and home delivery. Not only has Malik proven he is recession and pandemic proof, but also retirement proof - he continues to work 60 hours a week despite being in his mid-60s. Malik’s drive stems from his deep love for his children. Nothing is more important to him than the security of his future generations. He is the prime example of the American dream coming to fruition.
