Welcome to Montessori Center of South Dayton, Inc. (MCSD), a private, nonprofit Montessori school located in Kettering, Ohio, a south suburb of Dayton, Ohio. Founded in 1964, MCSD has grown into the largest private Montessori school in the Dayton area.
Our classrooms have 3 common goals for all students:
- Self-Direction
We want children to experience the joy of learning. Our mission is to spark the natural curiosity within each individual child, creating excited, independent learners.
- Feeling of Community
Our students learn to express themselves politely and confidently. We assist and teach them to solve problems and conflicts, so that eventually they can do so without the help of adults. We also nurture our community of parents who work closely with our staff to enhance the learning and warmth of our school.
- Independence
Children want and need to experience the world on their own. We give them the necessary tools, guidance and opportunities to develop independence, leadership and self-reliance in a supportive, caring environment.
Two primary governing bodies exist for Montessori education: The Association Montessori International (AMI) and the American Montessori Society (AMS). MCSD only employs AMI or AMS trained head teachers. We are also certified by the State of Ohio Board of Education, and licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
