Mission
We are a peaceful, nurturing Montessori school in partnership with families and our larger community, where children grow in lifelong purpose through curiosity and meaningful exploration.
Our vision is for DMS students to reach their full potential and develop a love of learning rooted in peace, respect for themselves, their community, and the environment. We envision DMS graduates becoming independent, engaged, peaceful global citizens.
Background Statement
At DMS we pride ourselves on being a leader in Montessori education and an organization that believes in experiential education for all. Mary Polino, educator and parent, founded DMS in 2005. Since then, DMS has grown from 1 classroom with only 13 students to serving 84 students and families this 2026/27 school year. DMS would not be what it is today without the support of dedicated families who believe in the benefits of a Montessori education for their child.
As we celebrate our 21st year, we are not slowing down! We are continuing to grow and expand our reach. As a school that values community, we know that students, teachers, and families are an invaluable part of this evolution. To spark this upward momentum, we are highlighting 3 areas of our school community that would greatly benefit from your financial support. Your donation has a lasting impact on the future of DMS and the opportunities and benefits we can provide our community.
