Our Story

  • OPENING DAY

    Creative Beginnings Montessori Center was founded in 2001 as a preschool for ages two through five years old. The first school campus was located on Vista Chino in Palm Springs.

  • NEW LOCATION, EXPANDED PURPOSE

    The School moved in August 2011 to the current location on the campus of Temple Isaiah in downtown Palm Springs.

  • ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ADDED

    Directly adjacent to the preschool campus, the elementary campus opened in September 2012. The elementary campus includes it’s own playground area, computer and science labs in addition to the classrooms.

Our Teachers

At Creative Beginnings, our teachers are thoughtfully selected and fully trained in the Montessori Method. We’re passionate about Montessori education and are committed to making sure each teacher brings warmth, respect, and genuine care to every child’s learning experience.

Small class size is an important component of the Montessori method. As such, class sizes in the preschool have a teacher to student ratio of 1 to 12, and elementary school of 1 to 20. Additional teacher assistants provide support throughout the day.
