Welcome to Desert Montessori!

More than just a preschool or daycare, Desert Montessori prides itself on being the best educational option for children of the Antelope Valley. We believe that the emotional and social support of the whole child is just as imperative as their education.

The school is accessible to a wide range of families and we are supportive of their needs. We focus on our environment, sustainability, respect for each other, and inclusivity.

We invite you to schedule a visit, meet the staff, and observe our approach to educating children. 

Desert Montessori Academy consists of a multi-age classroom for ages 2-5. The benefits of mixed aged children in a single room are widely recognized. The older children serve as leaders, teaching younger students various skills, while younger children develop more confidence as they witness older children mastering challenging concepts. 

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 principle that a child wants parents and teachers to help them learn to do things for themselves.

Desert Montessori is designed to help each student discover their unique talents. The children work at their own pace and learn in ways that work best for them as an individual.  We strive to help each child reach their full potential in every area of life.  

Our 3 ground rules are: take care of yourself, take care of each other, and take care of the environment!
