“The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school,
but for life.” - Maria Montessori
About Desert Bloom
The school’s name pays tribute to our beautiful desert region and its natural and unique beauty. The right combination of natural elements allows splendid plants and flowers to bloom across our desert and lovely mountains. In the same way, children are born with natural gifts within them that need the right conditions to blossom and grow.

Primary Program (Ages 3-6)
The primary program we offer is for children ages 3 to 6 and is part of what Dr. Maria Montessori called the first plane of development, a period of time when children seek to develop physical and psychological independence. This is a period of development for coordinated movement, language, a sense of order, concentration and refinement of their five senses.
