I have 3 kids, and even though my oldest is a teen, it never gets easier sending your baby off to preschool. Off to their first experience navigating the world without Mom and Dad. So many worries! Will they make friends? Will they be treated with love and compassion? If I could rewind to the beginning, I would tell myself not to worry a bit because Desert Springs was going to be the best thing to happen yet! I can not recommend them enough. The staff quickly became like family. My child made so many friends. Often times he would ask me to pick him up late because he didnt want to leave! I especially appreciate the love and tender care the staff gives to each child, catered to their unique needs and personalities. I love that they let them learn by doing. Gardening, water play, messy play... nothing was off limits to curious little minds. We will miss Desert Springs SO much. My only regret was not enrolling my child sooner, so he could enjoy it longer. Thank you so much DS staff. You pour your heart into the kids and it really makes all the difference in the world.
Krista RMay 30, 2025Desert Spring has been a wonderful experience for my daughter over the years. The staff and teachers are dedicated and truly care about each child's development, creating a safe and nurturing environment. I've seen my daughter grow more confident and happy, and it's been amazing to watch her grow into her unique and beautiful self as they support her individuality. I appreciate the focus on creativity, outdoor play, and the supportive atmosphere they foster. Highly recommend Desert Spring for any parent looking for a caring, well-rounded preschool experience!
Benjamin PetersenOct 4, 2024Our child had an amazing experience at Desert Spring! The sense of community was truly special, and the classroom environment was both engaging and enriching. The staff was incredibly caring, and we felt confident that our child was in the best hands. Highly recommend this wonderful place for early childhood education.
Brooke SandersSep 19, 2024So thankful to have found this school for my two children. They both LOVE their community at Desert Spring! I feel they have both grown leaps and bounds in their compassionate care of their surroundings, their bravery and problem solving skills, and most importantly, their love for school and learning.
Kelsey HoffmanSep 4, 2024Mother of 3 here and I cannot speak highly enough about Desert Spring. I feel like our family went through the wringer trying to find the right spot for our littles. Our daughter (previously in a 2-hr morning program) now asks us to come later for pickup because she’s so happy at school. She genuinely looks forward to every day and the staff have poured so much of their heart into the school that it really does feel like you’re leaving your kid with family. Just hippie enough, just enough structure, lots of creativity, fun and feeling of community.
Kaia LacySep 7, 2023We have 2 children at Desert Spring and we love it! The sense of community with other families is incredible! And the compassion and love that the teachers show is unmatched. Not to mention their outdoor space and the amount of outdoor time the children have everyday is valued greatly by the school. The director Sara is always available and active in all aspects of the school. I can’t say enough good things!!
