Hooks Corner

We made a mistake sending our child here. There were many good things about the teachers from other grade level but not for our child s class. We e-mailed the Montessori Education and were told that the punishment that our child and his friends were receiving by his teacher were not a Montessori practice. A few of the students left the same year we did. We feel that this school (just from this one teacher s class) has not met our expectations of a nurturing environment as is practice by the Montessori system.

We were initially very excited about enrolling our child at Dayton Montessori Society. We then reviewed their handbook closely and saw a lot of red flags with their program. Our child never attending DMS because of harsh and exclusive language in their handbook. Other Montessori schools have a welcoming and inclusive nature, recognizing there are many different family and cultural backgrounds to raising a child. There is language in their handbook that directly threatens our cultural choices and upbringing and this was unacceptable. We selected a different Montessori school for this reason.
