Welcome to DCS Montessori, where children are
Inspired for Life….
DCS Montessori is the Standard of Excellence in Montessori Education. Montessori education is based on the “Follow the Child” concept, where instruction is provided following the child’s developmental abilities. Children are instructed in large and small group lessons, as well as individual lessons, but the emphasis is an individually paced education. Independence is fostered through an environment where student choice and control is respected, where students have freedoms with responsibility. There is a focus on cooperative learning, as children learn from their peers growing self-confidence and social skills. Montessori materials are designed to address the specific learning styles, and to provide error control in order for students to learn from their own mistakes rather than only at the directive of a teacher, and therefore the concept that our Montessori teachers are more guides than teachers.

DCS Montessori has been extremely fortunate to have one benefactor
who has consistently contributed thousands of dollars to the school year after year
for thirteen years. Click the link below to find out more about this incredible benefactor.

You have probably noticed the piles of rock, dirt, and gravel along with many trucks and construction crews at our school. We are busy building new playgrounds for our students. The Primary playground will remain the same; however, we are expecting to be able to remove the gravel and replace it with engineered wood fibar.
The playground nearest the parking lot is completely different - see the photos of our new equipment! And the biggest part of our project is underway - a complete tear down and rebuilding of our large playground which the elementary students use each day. We will post photos here as we progress - so keep checking back to see the latest changes!
