Thank you and Welcome to Desert Sky Montessori Scottsdale! We are a small community that allows us to work with each child in very small groups as well as being able to do a lot of one on one teaching.Each child will have their own personal curriculum in Language as well as math. We never hold the child back, we encorage them to grow and challenge themselves in all areas. We teach them early time management as well respect for each other, staff , as wel as respect for all the work set out on the shelves. The older children learn to be good role models and enjoy mentoring the yunger children in their class. Our morning circle is done in 3 different languages, Spanish, Itlaian and French.
