At the local park

My child has attended DMS since she was 19 months. She has thrived in this nurturing environment. She is independent, confident, keen to learn and respectful of others. The Montessori environment offers her the freedom and options to develop her full potential as an individual, in life skills, language and numeracy skills.

I am really happy with the school. I love the way the school is focused on the child. There are no grades or stars, yet the children are motivated to learn.

Mrs Carol O'Brien, Jan 2010

We wanted to thank you and your wonderful teachers for all the help and support you have given [our son] over the past 12 months. He has thrived in the Montessori environment exactly as we hoped he would and as a result is much more balanced in a learning environment and his development has been amazing.

A hands-on lesson in nutrition

[Our children] have had such a balanced, good start at Montessori, not only with formative learning such as reading and basic mathematics, but also with their social skills. Respect for one another and good manners come high up on our list of important learning needs, both of which are incorporated so well into Montessori Life.
