As a member of the DMS staff, I promote the Montessori way of being with patience, kindness, confidence, joy, respect for others and nature, appreciation of diversity in and outside of school.  I believe in commitment, communication, freedom and responsibility.  I take exceptional personal care and pride in my work with the children.
