After moving to Seattle, she completed a Childcare Course Program that resulted in an internship at a Montessori school in Ballard where she fell in love with child education and the Montessori Method. Fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, she loves to sing and teach Portuguese songs to the school’s students daily. Patricia recently moved to South Park with Lucas, her husband, and her 13-year-old dog “Café.” She is still discovering South Seattle, so if you have any recommendations, please reach out to her, she would love to hear them. She also enjoys snowboarding, hiking, and gardening.

Testimonials

For 2024-2025 school year:
WE ARE ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for FULL DAY students who are ready to enroll in Primary (ages 4.5-6) as well as Lower Elementary (ages 6-9). Apply today!

For 2025-2026:
We currently have students in the waiting pool to schedule observations and tours (ages 3-6). We are still accepting applications for all classrooms.

Waiting pool: there are a few factors contributing to enrollment, aside from date of application. We try to give priority to families with siblings already currently enrolled, families who intend to do Montessori through the elementary years here at DPM, the child’s age to ensure a balanced classroom, the commitment to Montessori practices at home, and there is an observation of the prospective student in the classroom with the teacher that takes place prior to enrollment.

For that reason, it is impossible to say for sure whether there’s space available until admissions decisions have been made in January. That’s when the enrollment invitation goes out to families who have completed the process and who’s kiddos are eligible to start in the following school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Alex, [email protected].
