My daughter and son attended DMS DB when they were very young. They started with the toddler playgroup and graduated from the Casa level. It was a truly joyous journey to witness my children enter the classrooms and gravitate toward their favorite activities, even when they were just learning to walk. They blossomed at their own pace, guided by the Montessori toys that were thoughtfully designed to stimulate their various senses. As they progressed, their skills and independence grew in leaps and bounds. The day of graduation was a testament to their remarkable journey, from wobbly toddlers to confident performers, dancing, singing, and even creating their own show at the ceremony. It was a heartwarming sight to see my children thrive in the Montessori way at this wonderful school. Regrettably, the COVID-19 pandemic struck during a crucial phase of their development. However, the staff, teachers, and principal demonstrated unwavering care and flexibility, working tirelessly to ensure that their education remained uninterrupted. Their dedication and resilience during this challenging time reassured us of the school's unwavering commitment to our children’s education. What sets DMS apart is its commitment to individualized learning. Each student is encouraged to explore their interests, with teachers guiding without resorting to rote memorization or repetitive exercises. Despite this, all the graduates demonstrate remarkable proficiency in phonics and math, surpassing their peers. Furthermore, the teachers' kindness, care, and familiarity with the students and families foster a nurturing and inclusive environment. They are always ready to address any challenges our children may face. We hold the teachers and staff in high regard, and we often drop by to say hello.
