School Notes
- Thanks for 48 years with your children. We are proud of MCDC's legacy.
- MCDC is permanently closed.
- Best wishes to all as we close this chapter.
- Our environment is in a converted home and exudes a secure homey atmosphere with Montessori learning materials. The outdoors is like a small farm, with goats, chickens and gardens directly adjacent to the natural playground.The Montessori classroom is a child-sized world. Whatever is in the world outside can be incorporated meaningfully into the Montessori classroom. To the young child, the world is unmanageableit is too big, too complex, and too confusing.By careful selection of materials by the teacher, an environment is set up which allows the child a place to explore life on a level he can understand. The materials and exercises are designed to stimulate independent exploration.This prepared environment entices the child to proceed at his own pace, from simple to more complex activities. Through this process, his natural curiosity is satisfied, and he begins to experience the joy of discovering the world around him.
