"Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and shape the future of human society."
If You Could Ask A Parent This is what they would say... " I commend and highly recommend the Dover Montessori for its well-rounded approach to basic education. It's academic cirriculum and social interactions could very well be a model for Delaware's public school system. My two children never cease to amaze me as they come home and show me what they have learned all day long. Lastly I give credit to all the staff for its patience and commitment to our children." -Gil & Michelle Villanueva (Senior Lab Technician at New York City Hospital and Insurance Claims Processor) "Our sons have been at Dover Montessori for 2 years. They love going to school and enjoy learning in this safe and friendly environtment. My 4 year old loves his homework: writing and sounding out letters and words. " -Richard and Sharon Wong (Marine Biologist and Occupational Therapist) "Our 4 year old started at Montessori when she was 22 months old. The experience has been very nurturing and beneficial for her. She is learning how to read, write and have fun at school at the same time. She loves going to school and has developed a lot of social skills. It has been wonderful being a member of the Montessori family, the teachers are very responsive to my child's needs and challenge her in appropriate ways. My other child will go to Montessori next year. I recommend the montessori system for a lot of my friends and family members." -Khaled and Hiam Jazzar (Physician and Graduate Student) "My older son attended Dover Montessori last year and really enjoyed the school. The experience really prepared him well for Kindergarten and he still talks about his teacher and friends at Dover Montessori. My younger son attends the school this year and really likes it; he is doing great and learning a lot. The staff is caring and very involved with the kids they just need a new, larger facility." -Greg and Sherry Brown (Air Force Officers at Dover AFB) This will be the second year that we have enrolled our son in Dover Montessori Country Day Academy. He started out this year not interested in writing in any way and within a month of school starting he had learned to write his name. This is just one example of the many things he has learned from attending Dover Montesssori, he comes home from school and we stand theres staring at him with amazement when we see first hand what he has and is learning. The Montessori method of teaching makes learning easy and fun for the children and we believe that enrolling him has been the best thing we could have done for his eductation. I love Dover Montessori and what is even better than that is that my son loves it too. -Bill & Rachael Hemric (Construction Engineer & Animal Control Technician) "There have been new studies to prove the research
that Pre-School children along with Elementary students benefit cognitively
from activities such as music, dance, yoga and a second language study.
These "extras" included weekly have now been proven to help children excel
achedemically. We happen to offer "all" of these coupled with the
excellence of the Montessori Education. An "unbeatable combination!!!"
