"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."
Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
Sneakers for Africa
Have some ol' sneakers hanging out in the closets of your home? Why not consider donating those children and adult sneakers size 6 to 12 to Nigerian children and families. They'll be worn for the purpose of pumping water wheels in order to provide water to communities. Sneakers in good condition will be accepted only! Please, no sizes smaller than size 6. A collection box for the shoes will be located in the front room.
"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!!!"
Margaret Kling, Directress
If you could speak with a Dover Montessori parent
what might you ask? We will soon be bringing online a page with comments from parents of some of our past and present students. Miguel de Cervantes wrote, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating". The best way to attempt to discover what type of experience our families have had in relationship to our school, is to read the comments of those who have already savored the excellence Dover Montessori Country Day Academy offers. Our school has been endorsed by many pediatricians in the area. Watch our site for the new page.
Families In Transition are distressed families that are in need of money or food & clothing. Great work! We say thank you to all the parents who participated! We're proud to announce that our fundraiser grossed $1,200.00 for the families in transition. The Dover Post has an article in the April 19th issue on the Families In Transition Program. Look for our pictures posted at the school!
Please inquire about the new tuition rates that are now being offered for children aged 6 through 9 years. To launch our new upcoming location, we now offer a formal 1st grade to accomodate your 6 year old.
Our school will be starting during or after the 2007-2008 school year in a brand new facility with a new name. The school will be called "Dover Montessori Country Day Academy", and will be located across from the St. Thomas Moore Academy in Magnolia, Delaware. Watch for the details of our move. Anyone who would like to be placed on our "wait" list may do so by contacting the Directress at the school at 302-678-8394.
