“Having been relatively new to the area, I did a lot of researched for the right place to take care of my (first) child, for when I went back to work. Durham Montessori was at the top of our list, by far. When we toured the facility (pre COVID) we found it to be a very welcoming + clean facility. Right before our daughter was about to start, COVID hit + we were very uncertain if we should even send her to daycare given the circumstances of the world. I had several conversations with Nancy + she couldn’t have been more understanding + supportive. In the end we sent our daughter to daycare + although she started off a little scared + shy (as most kids do) she quickly warmed up to the excellent staff members + never complained when we were heading out the door every morning. The updates on the “hey mama” app were a highlight during my workday. Seeing what she was up to + the things she was learning was amazing. The staff are very open to discussing any feedback or questions we had along the way making it a truly collaborative + comfortable experience. I can’t recommend this daycare enough!”

“Words cannot express how impressed I have been with DMSD. We have had the best experience (with no issues) for the last 5 years. Both of our daughters attended from the start of their opening, and I am so glad that we chose DMSD as our care providers. The staff are incredible, caring individuals and everything is run so smoothly. I am so sad to be leaving as both my girls will now be in jk and sk, but they learned so much while they attended and my daughter going into sk is so ahead because of everything taught to her at DMSD. Her teachers are constantly impressed with her knowledge and behaviour, and I know that DMSD played a huge part in that. I would highly recommend this centre to anyone and everyone and am so grateful to have had the chance to send my kids there. Thank you, Nancy and all the staff you will be greatly missed!”

“My 2 year old son has been attending for about 8 weeks and we are so happy with our decision. His teachers are so attentive and genuinely loving, they communicate well with us, and he absolutely adores them! We are also very happy to see a good improvement in his language and communication skills in the short time he’s been attending. As an added bonus they provide fun activities for them to do such as clay molding or a visit from a Magician. He loves going in in the mornings which is a credit to the fabulous caregivers, and it gives us great peace of mind – priceless! Thank you DMSD!”
