I took care of the roof over my head but disregarded all that natural beauty that extended beyond property lines. This all changed when I took a natural resources class at College Of The Desert taught by professor Kurt Leuschner. I realized just how delicate the very ground I stood on was. This is where I also learned about Friends Of The Desert Mountains. Friends Of The Desert Mountains is a nonprofit organization that focuses on the conservation of land resources in the Coachella Valley. Some of their programs are trail stewardship, invasive weed control, interpretive hikes, trash cleanup and youth education. You can volunteer your time and experience a greater sense of pride and accomplishment in being a resident of the Coachella Valley. Worthwhile work, considering Friends Of The Desert Mountains has successfully protected over 50,000 acres of land since 1987, my backyard included.

Their Visitors Center is so cool, and the staff are very knowledgeable about all of the desert plants and climate zones. Last time, I saw a Bighorn sheep! Don't miss this treasure when you're in the Coachella Valley, and make sure to go for the Wildflower Festival!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but my experience with this program was disappointing enough that…read moreI feel compelled to share it. In my experience, there was a noticeable culture of favoritism, and it often felt as though families who were not part of the preferred group were treated differently. That is not the standard of professionalism or inclusivity any parent should expect from a childcare program. What ultimately led us to leave was a serious lapse in basic care. My toddler came home wearing a diaper so oversized that it had leaked through his clothing. For a facility entrusted with the well-being of young children, this level of inattentiveness is unacceptable. The most frustrating part is that this program has potential, but potential means very little when leadership fails to address ongoing concerns and staff fail to provide consistent, quality care. Parents place a tremendous amount of trust in childcare providers, and unfortunately, this program did not earn or keep ours. We withdrew our child immediately and have never regretted that decision.

We just went this weekend while in town and there are two more dates coming up on Dec 13 and 20 from 11am to 5pm. The event was fantastic! At the event, they have photos with Santa, gingerbread cookie decorating, gingerbread ornament decorating, face painting, a bubble station, a hot cocoa station, and live music. All the volunteers were kind and welcoming. The ambiance is festive and fun! It was quite busy when they first opened with all the little ones trying to get a picture with Santa before their nap time. It was less crowded by 1pm. Would recommend stopping by if you're around!

It was suggested that we deliver down here as it has a NICU (just in case). Unfortunately, "just in case" became a reality and our boy is in the NICU. After a few conversations with the on staff social worker at the hospital and a few of the nurses and doctors, we were guided to the Hanson House as a place to stay nearby so we didn't have to drive an hour between home and hospital. My wife and I were completely brought to tears at the accommodations and hospitality that we were greeted with and given as we navigate through these tough days. Thank you.
