East Dallas Community Schools: Serving Diverse Neighbourhoods

East Dallas Community Schools: Serving Diverse Neighbourhoods | Montessori & 21st Century Learning | Scoop.it

East Dallas Community Schools is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization which operates early childhood learning centers with programs to meet the needs of children from birth to age nine.

EDCS is guided by the Montessori philosophy of education. That philosophy is rooted in Dr. Montessori’s conviction that, unless severely impaired, “children naturally have the same drive to develop in a cognitive sense as they do in a physical sense. The desire of an elementary student to master equivalent fractions can be just as strong as the desire of the infant to crawl, unless the desire has been diminished by the circumstances of the child’s life.”

They're very successful Montessori charter schools that serve very underprivileged neighborhoods. The secret of their success is summed up in their motto: "Start young. Involve parents."
