New School Year, New Beginnings!

Why choose Montessori education?


Deciding on the right educational path for your child is one of the most important and far-reaching decisions you will face as a parent. With a variety of educational philosophies and teaching methods available, it can be overwhelming to determine which one will best suit your child's learning style, personality, and developmental needs. Finding a learning environment that not only aligns with your values but also nurtures your child’s unique abilities is key.

One approach that has been cherished by families globally for over a century and continues to grow in popularity is Montessori education. Known for its child-centered philosophy, Montessori emphasizes fostering independence, creativity, and a love for lifelong learning. It provides a holistic, nurturing atmosphere where children can flourish academically, socially, and emotionally.


The Montessori method is built on core principles of respect, independence, and experiential, hands-on learning. Its flexible, personalized approach enables children to learn at their own pace, giving them the freedom to explore their interests and develop their individual talents. By focusing on the intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development of each child, Montessori creates a dynamic and supportive environment that encourages growth in every aspect of their lives.



While Montessori education is suitable for a broad range of learners, certain children thrive especially well in this environment due to its adaptable structure and focus on individualized learning.

Here’s why Montessori can be particularly advantageous for:

· Independent Learners

· Children with Diverse Learning Styles

· Gifted and Advanced Students

· Hands-On Learners

· Children Who Benefit from Structure and Organization

· Emotionally and Socially Sensitive Children

· Highly Curious or Creative Learners


In conclusion, Montessori education is tailored to meet the unique needs of each child through a personalized and holistic learning approach. Whether your child is an independent learner, thrives through hands-on exploration, or benefits from a structured yet adaptable setting, Montessori offers the ideal blend of freedom and guidance to foster their development. By focusing on the whole child—academically, emotionally, and socially—Montessori empowers children to grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals who are well-equipped to face future challenges.

I signed the lease! I am so excited to announce our new location for January 2022 will be at 101 Simcoe Street North in Oshawa! I have some exciting plans to execute and I cannot wait to keep you posted along the way! Now enrolling for January 2022! Let the extra BUSY begin! We had a lot of fun in September! We went to the apple orchard to apple pick and support our apple theme. We noticed many different types of apples and analyzed the parts of the apple as we enjoyed eating them in class. We were able to learn in real life how the apple grows and where. We learned about the parts of the apple, apple life cycle, did apple crafts and art. We learned a song about the parts of the apple which the children love to sing every day! Of course, phonics is heavily emphasized every day as usual. The letter A was a big focus this month. My family and I would like to thank you all for your follows, your support and your community connection. Without you, growth would not be possible. Your recognition of our unique and heart-full program is not going unnoticed. We will always lead with a pure heart and soul in providing the BEST early learning experience for your child. Regards, Dina

WE ARE EXPANDING AND MOVING LOCATIONS IN JANUARY 2022! I signed a lease for a charming and unique property in central Oshawa! I am very excited and so is our DMS Montessori Preschool and Daycare Inc. community! This endeavor has been a dream of mine to achieve for most of my adult life. I always knew teaching was in my blood, but this just fulfills my ultimate goals of opening my own Montessori preschool and making a difference in our community and in the lives of many beautiful children! I want the children who’s lives I / we touch to go on and lead the most fulfilling lives possible because I provide them with the most optimal preschool experience possible to expand their horizons and open them up to the wonders of the World. The capacity for growth in all areas of development is massive at the early childhood level. All these children need is the experiences and opportunities to reach their maximum potential at this level. I know that I have made a difference in these tiny human’s lives over the last five years, both through who I am as a person, my values and genuine passion for children and their development, and through my relationship and undying desire to provide only the best to parents and children, but now I want to give that same top-quality care to more children whose parents are waiting for this new step of growth. With over 30 families on my current waiting list, the time for me to make this expansion happen is NOW! I take possession on September 1, 2021. Grand opening is slated for January 3, 2022, if all renovations and licensing preparations go according to plan over the next few months. I shall surely keep you posted on all developments so stay tuned! Contact me through my website for information about enrollment and career opportunities! Voting round is almost over but there’s still time to vote for us! Durham Reader’s Choice Awards Whitby/Oshawa, DMS Montessori Preschool and Daycare Inc. for best daycare, nursery school and private school. Help us win this again! Thank you for you support!
