We are beyond grateful to have found Desert Montessori Academy in Palmdale. As parents, it means…read moreeverything to us to have a school where our son is allowed to be a child--to grow, learn, and develop at his own pace rather than being pushed to meet arbitrary "standards." The environment at DMA is nurturing, respectful, and truly centered around the individual needs of each student. We've seen our son flourish not just academically, but emotionally and socially, in ways we never expected. The educators here clearly care deeply and treat each child as a whole person, not just a number or a test score. If you're looking for a school that honors the natural curiosity and uniqueness of children, we cannot recommend Desert Montessori Academy enough.

She's really opened up and become so much more confident. She adores her teachers, and I genuinely trust and appreciate them as well. Every day, the kids engage in hands-on, imaginative activities, which I think is so important. The small playground is a great bonus, too. Overall, the environment is warm, welcoming, and truly trustworthy. I'll definitely be enrolling my second child when the time comes. Thank you, DMA!

WARNING to Parents: Toddler Left Naked for 45+ Minutes Over Potty Training Policy…read more I'm posting this to inform other parents about what happened to my 2-year-old daughter while she was enrolled here. She is not fully potty trained by their standards. One day, she had an accident, and the staff left her completely undressed in the bathroom for 45+ minutes. They told me they would not help her get dressed unless I either came in person to do it myself or paid additional money. When I arrived, she was still unclothed. There was no medical or disciplinary reason -- just a policy they enforced tied to toileting status and payment. Refusing to assist a toddler with basic care needs, especially hygiene and clothing, is unacceptable. At this age, children rely entirely on adults to meet their needs, and any facility working with toddlers should be equipped to handle toileting accidents in a safe and respectful way. If you're considering this school, I strongly recommend asking specific questions about how they handle toileting, accidents, and what support they actually provide when a child needs help. This experience was extremely disappointing and raises serious concerns about their practices.

Came to this location because years ago my family brought their children here. Not sure if things…read morechanged or maybe these things weren't apparent to my family. My child was in the infants room. In the infants room it seems like they don't do anything to interact w the children. A few times I came to pick up my son and I saw the teachers on their phone while having the children watch TV. Kids are left in a room to just play w one another. There is no set schedule or activities they do during the day. Thankfully each time that I picked up my son I always made sure to go back to the room to pick him up and not wait for them to bring him to me. Definitely had me on high alarm when they said parents weren't allowed to go back to pick up or drop off. I did make sure that I went back at least to the window of the room. Many times I got accident reports and the very last time I got an accident report they said it was because my son hit another child and they put him in a timeout by locking him up into a high chair. No child should ever be put into a "timeout chair" that locks them in one place. That's torture, my child was just barely 1, I know he didn't understand what was being done to him. Children are teachable not punishable!!! Extremely disappointed I didn't see the signs before. I think I really wanted to like this school because my family had previously gone here. Also I do not like that every time I came to pick up my son or drop him off nobody was in the front. Anybody can just walk in, how scary.

Hey , just stopping by to leave a good review on this center. My son is in enrolled in the center…read morelocated on 15th St., West and I love it. This facility just isn't your normal daycare. This facility focuses on the well-being and academic nature of your children and gives the kids a Headstart on curriculum that will prepare them for grade school. His teacher is Miss Karen and she is so kind,loving, patient, and creative. Not only does she teach the students, but she takes the time to learn your child individually, and that's a big factor for me because it lets me know that she see my child. My son is already bright however he was very reserved. He's been attending this school for a little over six or seven months now and he's doing phenomenal between the work of Miss Karen and I, he will be more than prepared for kindergarten!
