Desert Montessori was founded in 1963 and offers an educational program based on the work of Dr. Maria Montessori. Her method is founded on the principal that a child wants parents and teachers to "Help me learn to do it for myself." Desert Montessori is designed to help each student discover his unique talents. The child works at his own pace and learns in the ways that work best for him as an individual. Desert Montessori strives to help each child reach his full potential in every area of life. Activities promote the development of social, emotional, and physical growth. Children ages 2-1/2 through 6 work together in one classroom and children ages 6 through 9 work together in a second classroom. Only one of each activity is provided in the classroom, forcing the child to choose carefully what he wants to work on and teaching patience when he has to wait his turn. Desert Montessori is a nonsectarian, nonprofit, parent run corporation. A volunteer Board of Directors is elected each year to oversee the operations of the school. Desert Montessori Academy is an affiliate of the American Montessori Society and is licensed by the California Department of Health. The school is listed with the State of California as a private school.
