Testimonials

The teachers are so loving and thoughtful about each individual student. Using the Montessori Method, each child is able to move at the pace that is right for them. The teachers also look for opportunities to let the kids teach each other. For example, one of my kids has mastered one of the “works” that teaches multiplication, so the teachers will often ask him to teach other kids how to use it. It reinforces what he has learned and also teaches him empathy and patience.

Teachers at this school are effective

We are accepting applications for the 2026-2027 school year, apply today!

Enrollment decisions at DPM are based on several considerations beyond the application date. Priority is given, whenever possible, to families with siblings already enrolled and to those committed to continuing Montessori education with us through the elementary years. A child’s age is also taken into account to help maintain balanced classrooms, along with each child’s readiness and the family’s support of Montessori practices at home. Before enrollment is confirmed, prospective families are invited to participate in a classroom observation, followed by a meet and greet with the teacher to ensure the best possible fit.

Because of these factors, placement and availability cannot be guaranteed for future enrollment periods. The best next step is to complete an application in full and connect with us to schedule a school tour and family meet-and-greet. Enrollment for new families opens each February.
