All the teachers are absolutely amazing and truly care about each child. I love all the extra curricular programs like Spanish, music and yoga. They also have a mini barn with goats, donkeys and chickens that my kids get to interact with daily. You can't go wrong with choosing this school.

We were so grateful to have been able to have her care for our babies, especially in the infant stage. My mind was put at ease knowing that it was a smaller setting with less children and less germs (she always keeps it very clean). She has great communication skills and was supportive of breastfeeding mothers. We trusted her with our children and felt that they were safe and well cared for throughout their time there. Our oldest child never wanted to leave, ha! And our baby was usually crawling around happily on the floor or sitting on the floor with Linda at pickup. It was the perfect childcare environment for our children in their earliest years!

A number of the teachers are caring, dedicated, and well liked by my children. However, the school…read morehas serious problems with its administrative staff and consistency among its many classrooms. Children are often moved to new classrooms with the equivalent of substitute teachers and these classrooms are chaotic and staff is overwhelmed and unable to effectively manage the class. Therefore, your child may like the school very much and never have a problem and then suddenly not want to attend the new class where there is uncontrolled bullying or a teacher who lets the children run amok. The administrative staff deals with this by sending home "incident reports" where your child's involvement and subsequent injuries are detailed, but no mention is made of actions that were taken with other students or how this is to be prevented in the future. Lastly, and most importantly, our experiences with the front desk and office staff have been horrendous. Most often the Director and any other senior staff are not physically present at the school and instead work from home and will only be called if a misunderstanding or disagreement should arise. This happens fairly frequently, as the Assistant Director Alexis Martin is less than astute and mans the front desk more like a bouncer at a nightclub, barring entrance for any child showing signs of an illness or who might have had a payment declined unknowingly after years of attendance and always paying on time. In these instances, the staff does not seek to handle the issue discreetly. Instead, you should expect to be embarrassed and treated with disrespect in front of other parents entering the building. No apology is given when it turns out that the issue has already been resolved via email with the Director Monique Griffith, who is at home and has failed to communicate and update staff on-site. In general, there is little concern for customer service since staff will tell you themselves that the school has a waiting list and you're more than welcome to disenroll your child.

He absolutely adores them and you can tell they care for each and every child with love and care. They get my son's personality, and always alert us to things cute and comical, or concerning. For example, if he's been particularly moody or had his feelings hurt, we can give Miss Drea or Miss Katrina a heads up at drop off, and vice versa with the teachers at pick up. They go out of their way to tell us if he did something funny that day, or shared a family event he was excited about. We're going to miss Drea and Katrina immensely when we depart for kindergarten!

And yet, the owner felt justified in charging us for an entire 30 days that we did not have our child attend because this change took effect with no notice. Additionally, the front office staff wasn't great. It always felt like we were intruding if we had a question for them, and we were almost never greeted upon arrival.

We currently have one child in Primary and one in Elementary, and both are thriving beyond what we ever expected. Our extended family has even commented on how much our kids have grown -- not just academically, but in their confidence, curiosity, and love of learning. What stands out most is how personal the experience feels. The teachers are genuinely caring, and we love that there are bilingual educators and an environment that supports the whole child. It's so refreshing to see our kids learning in a way that goes far beyond "sitting at a desk and memorizing." The school offers an abundance of enrichment and extracurricular opportunities, and it's clear they're focused on supporting each child as an individual. We are truly grateful to have our children grow up in such a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment... even if part of us wants to keep it our little secret!

Last August 25th, after reflecting on the challenges my son faced at DMA in September and October…read moreof last year, I felt ready and shared a down-to-earth personal review.   Instead of receiving public feedback, I received a certified letter from a law firm, demanding for my review to be removed immediately, otherwise "we will sue you to obtain an order requiring you to remove it, and to recover significant monetary damages against you, including, but not limited to, punitive damages, and the attorneys' fees and costs Dynamite Montessori incurs in the case under A.R.S. 12-341.01 and A.R.S. 12-341". They reminded me of a contract clause that restricts what families may share publicly about the school without prior written consent. This clause is part of the agreement that parents must sign when enrolling their children. So, in the interest of focusing on providing for my son instead of defending myself against what I feel are insubstantial accusations, I am removing my previous review. We were part of the DMA family for almost three years. 100% involved and devoted to all the school activities. Our son attended from June 21, 2022, until November 1, 2024. In my personal opinion, DMA can be a good choice for any "non-Montessori" child to gain some exposure to a Montessori environment in their early years. The place looks pristine, with the right materials, strong infrastructure, and opportunities for children to learn--especially if they happen to be among the more "gifted" ones and can learn by themselves. I have been a Montessori mom since our son was born, and we initially thought this was the perfect place for him. Last year, however, in his third year of primary, my son developed a behavior we felt unrecognizable to us and was told "not to be kindergarten ready" and "maybe not a good fit for a classroom at all". My family, especially my son (5 years old at the time), went through a nightmare that took almost a year to recover from. Fortunately, today he attends a large Montessori school where he has adapted beautifully and is thriving as the amazing child he has always been. In his new school he is considered a bright kid and so far, there is not a single incident regarding his behavior. Looking back, we feel that his experience at DMA was heavily affected by a classroom dynamic that was challenging for his naturally calm demeanor. Today, we are sharing our feelings, in case it helps other families who may be uncertain--whether you already have a child enrolled or are considering enrollment.
