Welcome to Diablo Valley Montessori School. DVMS was started in 1965 by a group of caring parents wanting a Montessori education for their young children. Since then, it is a place where the work of children is valued and individuality respected. The importance of family is esteemed and parent involvement is encouraged. Our experienced staff is committed to providing the highest level of education and care for each child enrolled in our programs.
