Organization: DESERT GARDEN MONTESSORI SCHOOL INC
Mission: DESERT GARDEN MONTESSORI'S MISSION IS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT FOR CHILDREN IN WHICH THEY ARE ENCOURAGED TO EXPLORE, CREATE, LEARN, SOCIALIZE AND CELEBRATE THEIR UNIQUE TALENTS.
Activities: THE SCHOOL'S MONTESSORI APPROACH IS A SYSTEM OF EDUCATION, WHICH ENCOMPASSES BOTH A PHILOSOPHY OF THE CHILD'S GROWTH AND A RATIONALE FOR GUIDING SUCH GROWTH. IT IS BASED ON THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS FOR FREEDOM WITHIN LIMITS. IN ADDITION, A CAREFULLY PREPARED ENVIRONMENT GUARANTEES EXPOSURE TO MATERIALS AND EXPERIENCES TO DEVELOP INTELLIGENCE AS WELL AS PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL ABILITIES. IT IS DESIGNED TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE SELF-MOTIVATION PROCESS,THE UNIQUE ABILITIES OF CHILDREN, AND ALLOW THEM TO DEVELOP THEIR OWN CAPABILITIES AND INNER GIFTS. THE SCHOOL SERVES MORE THAN 200 CHILDREN FROM INFANT PROGRAMS TO MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE CURRICULUM IS DESIGNED TO SERVE THE WHOLE CHILD IN AN INTEGRATED APPROACH.
