Guide to Childcare & Schools in and around Dallas

Montessori Children’s House and School is dedicated to providing quality Montessori education to children ages 3 to 6 years of age, when children are naturally enabled with the capacity to make substantial leaps in their academic, cognitive, and social development. MCHS is fully accredited by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), the only organization created by Dr. Maria Montessori to protect the integrity and authenticity of Montessori programs around the world. Founded in 1970, Montessori Children’s House and School is located on 3.5 acres of green wooded land in the heart of the Lake Highlands neighborhood in northeast Dallas, TX.

Founded in 1976, Shelton School is a private non-profit, non-sectarian, co-ed school serving intelligent students with learning differences (LD) in grades EC through 12. Shelton’s individualized, structured multisensory academic program, specially written for LD students, challenges students by building the necessary skills. Shelton’s niche is providing a customized educational approach with positive, practical solutions matching the needs of LD students. Shelton is about helping every child become the absolute best human being he can be, not just academically fit.

While the school is clearly the centerpiece of its mission, Shelton is more than a school. It also encompasses three other major components — a speech & language therapy program, an evaluation center, and a teacher training program, all open to the community. Shelton provides extensive training for professionals who work with LD students and their families. In addition, Shelton is actively involved with research at major institutions, with the goal of identifying and applying the best practices that will help children, youth and their families.
