Summer Program
We are excited to offer a summer program incorporating some amount of Montessori academic materials, combined with plenty of outside time, water play, crafts, games, gardening, and more!
Our summer programs are open to the public (you do not need to be a student at Desert Montessori to attend) and are available for children aged 2-6.
All summer programs encompass a full school day, with drop-off between 8am – 8:30am and pickup between 2:30pm – 3:00pm. We will have an Aftercare program available for an additional fee. While we do not provide a tuition option for half-days, early pickups can be accommodated.
