Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment, unifying academic challenge with quality opportunities for social, emotional, and intellectual growth. This includes a multicultural emphasis that values individuality and attainment of each child’s fullest potential. With the Montessori philosophy as our foundation, we guide development of responsibility and respect by cultivating independent thinking, self-awareness, cooperation, and inner discipline.
"The feeling that DHMC is a community resonates in the quality of their work and the great companionship that I continually saw while working on the Cultural Festival. The DHMC community never fails to amaze me. You have an amazing staff and a group of students whose passion for learning really does inspire me."

"Montessori gave my daughter a huge advantage, especially in confidence. She was not afraid to comment and question the teachers... she was respected for her views and for speaking out."
