Director's and Parents' CommentsHide 
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Discovery Montessori is based in this community since 1983. The school experience is introduced as an extension of home life. This is reinforced with home visits by teachers, parent volunteer activities and events, as well as a newsletter and parent meetings.
