Mother of 3 here and I cannot speak highly enough about Desert Spring. I feel like our family went through the wringer trying to find the right spot for our... read more littles. Our daughter (previously in a 2-hr morning program) now asks us to come later for pickup because she’s so happy at school. She genuinely looks forward to every day and the staff have poured so much of their heart into the school that it really does feel like you’re leaving your kid with family. Just hippie enough, just enough structure, lots of creativity, fun and feeling of community.

We have 2 children at Desert Spring and we love it! The sense of community with other families is incredible! And the compassion and love that the teachers show is... read more unmatched. Not to mention their outdoor space and the amount of outdoor time the children have everyday is valued greatly by the school. The director Sara is always available and active in all aspects of the school. I can’t say enough good things!!

After moving to Tucson, I visited almost every daycare/preschool location within a mile of the University of Arizona. Desert Spring was, by far, the best school. Sarah, the... read more director, and the teachers are some of the most lovely people you’ll ever meet. The learning materials the children get to play with are amazing, in terms of development and FUN! I love that the school is tucked away, if you didn’t know what it was you might not even notice it’s there. Highly recommended.

I was terrified of daycares and very reluctant to put my child in one. I spent a solid year touring as many daycares/children centers as a I could all... read more over Tucson. When I walked into Desert Spring I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. Smaller school, very open and clean, and full of lots of love. My child has been attending for a year and a half now and this school has become a second family for me and my child. My child get so bummed when we don’t go to school that day. They look forward to school and have the greatest time there. Any time we miss a day, my kid gets upset that they aren’t going to school lol. Anyways everyone here is genuinely amazing. They are kind, wonderful, personable, and fun. It becomes a second community for many people. I couldn’t recommend desert springs enough. They truly are fantastic.
