Even Danny the parking lot crossing guard is pretty darn cool and helpful. Cons: Parking, parking, parking!!! Not enough, way too many parents not utilizing the bus or walking and too many "hang around" much to long and park where ever they feel like it.

Great school!!! As a former student, I would say that this place is like a second home to me. I…read moregotta say, Ms. Carlyle was my favorite teacher. She used to be the computer lab teacher, but then, she left when I was in fourth grade. The problem is the parking, but I know someday, this would be taken care of. Mr. Davis was the best principal anyone could ask for. And Mr. Preston too because he's really funny. Overall, I love this school. I miss all my friends, my teachers, and the good times we made.

Our son just finished his first year at the Learning Tree and it was a great year for our family…read more The biggest thing for us was the flexible before and after school drop off. As working parents that took a huge weight off, and they were always easy to work with on timing instead of making us feel like we were asking too much. The other thing I really noticed is how well they handle boys. My son has a lot of energy, and they knew how to keep him engaged and actually learning, not just telling him to sit still. The teachers clearly get how kids that age really are. It is a small school with warm staff that treats families like they know you. I would recommend it to any parent in Palm Desert or in the Cochella valley area.

Well, many are actually related but they treat the ones that are not like family too! The education is fantastic! There are so many extra things that they do to make school and learning fun! I've read the posts and I'm not sure people who are speaking negatively are talking about the same school! This school is warm and welcoming to all! The after school programs are such a huge bonus too. I can compare what our daughter is learning to the other private schools here and she is on par or slightly above depending on the school. They keep the class sizes small so the kids can get some personal attention and both of her teachers offered individual tutoring for those who need it. I highly recommend The Learning Tree!

Kids have nothing to play outside. Also, they keep kids outside for lunch all the time no matter the temperature is above 110 degree during summer or fierce windy days , just avoid the carpet get dirty ( California has a law, not allow schools put kids outside when temperature is above 90 degree). The carpet is more important than kids for school. The high cost tuition does not match the school facilities at all! I decided to change school after my daughter stayed there for two weeks.

Before you consider ANY Montessori school, please do your research! Read "montessori Madness". It…read moreis not a "traditional" school. Any school can teach your child to read, write and spell by age five but Montessori school also taps into your child's cognitive learning ability. This school is of the best schools in the desert. I had two children going there. They started at age 4 and by 5 years old they were doing phonics and encouraging them to read. Their math progress came naturally which is amazing because that is what Montessori schools tap into. Teacher-child ratio is small. Discipline, etiquette, manners are also important. They have dance, gymnastics, Spanish, art and theatre available. Parents and teachers are very close. Feels like a family! I highly recommend this school. We had to move and we were unable to continue with this school. My kids still attend a Montessori school in the "big city". I currently took my children to an elite private school and their entry evaluation results were above normal school level.

The amplified noise can be heard inside our homes, with doors and windows closed, and the bass is making things in my house vibrate. I know we live across the street from a school. I expect there to be a certain amount of noise. But being unable to enjoy some peace inside my house is ridiculous. I've tried calling and have left messages, but they haven't helped. Next step is the police. Edit: 11.5 hours. 8am to 7:30 pm of thump thump bass. I know for a fact the police were called multiple times. Everytime they came out the music would go down for a little while...and then they cranked it right back up again. I wish Yelp would allow a zero or even a negative star rating.

WoW!!! This school is absolutely amazing! I really had reservations about putting my children here,…read moreso much so that last year we did an interdistrict transfer to one of the "top notch" schools in the district... big mistake. I really feel my son lost out by not going here sooner. The principal is great, truly loves his students and his staff. Encourages the children like nothing I've ever seen before. I have two boys one in 4th and one in kindergarten, I could not say enough about these teachers. they are amazing. my kindergartener is reading at a 2nd grade level and is whizzing through double digit math all ready. My 4th grader is at a 6th reading level and is also doing great in math. There are so many befor and after school activities/programs for the children. Every teacher and the principal gives each and every student a high five before they leave the campus, every day! Tall about being personally connected with your kids! Thank you Mrs. Borrows, Mrs. Payne and Dr. Stockhammer for ALL YOUR SUPPORT! MY KIDS LOVE YOU! Sarah
