Who
Welcome to Dandy Lion Montessori School, the premiere authentic Montessori preschool in the Five Cities area of SLO County, on the Central Coast of California. Children aged 2 1/2 to 6 years-old learn how to learn in our specially prepared environment, generally having learned to read, write, and do four figure math by the time they are five and would traditionally just be attending Kindergarten. If you do not know about the Montessori Method of education, treat yourself to a tour of our facility to see the amazing process for yourself. Below you will find a brief History of our school, our current Goals, and an introduction to our Staff. Registered users of this website - restricted to parents, grandparents, etc. - will also find a portal into our online community below, where they can communicate, arrange carpooling, play dates, birthday parties, etc. |
History
Author: Dave Hunter |
  
The Dandy Lion Preschool was established in 1981 by the Veness family, and has earned an excellent reputation while serving this community for the past twenty-eight years. The Veness’ retired in November of 1996 when Ann Balasuriya and Dave Hunter purchased the school to provide a location for Ann’s Montessori Teacher-Training Institute on the Central Coast. By January of 1997, the Rainbow Room was converted into a Montessori Prepared Environment and the name of the school was slightly revised to Dandy Lion Montessori School to reflect the change to a Montessori program. |
