My daughter just completed 3 years at Dynamite. The environment allows her to work her interests, and the program has her doing research that is typically seen in junior high. Our time at Dynamite is over but her results are awesome. She tested at a 6th grade level for math at the end of her 3rd grade. The Spanish program at Dynamite gave her the confidence to test and be accepted into the CCUSD spanish immersion program.
My 3 year old daughter has been going this school since August 2010 and it has been a wonderful experience for all of us. I initially did a little bit of reading about all Montessori schools available in Phoenix area and met teachers of around 5 montessories. Out of all I found excellent confidence and enthusiasm is all the teachers of Dynamite Montessori school. Especially after I met Toddlers class teacher , I felt so relieved as I found what I was searching for. Complete staff of the school are very co-operative. School had agreed for special needs for my kid.
After our son having such a wonderful experience at Dynamite we were thrilled for the oppertunity to send our daughter there. She like my son, has thrived in the loving and respectful atmoshere provided by the entire staff. My children have been given a love of learning and understanding of community. It is a wonderful place where children are built up and encouraged allowing them the confidence to achive academically and socially
Dynamite Montessori is a great investment for our little girl. She has been attending this school since she was 2.5 years old in Ms Megan's class. Her first year in school she thoroughly enjoyed and Ms. Megan instilled her love of going to school. She was even potty trained in this school. She is now attending her third year with Ms Leda and Ms Tina and she loves both of these teachers. My daughter loves to read ( started when she was close to 5) loves to count her numbers, knows how to add and subtract 4 digit numbers and loves to create, draw, color. She also loves the opportunity to do gardening and greet the many animals in the school ( rabbits, sheep, goats, donkey, guinea pigs)
Being the parent of a 5 and a 3 year old child in this school I have only good things to say about it. The staff, which we like to call our extended family, is very professional and show great interest in the overall well being of the children (both academically and at a personal level). Having lived in the East Coast prior to moving to Arizona, I think this school equals and exceeds the academic level of those institutions. The school is located in a beautiful area north of Phoenix, which hardly looks like part of the city. Our kids love the interaction they have with nature on a daily basis; learning becomes more of an adventure every day. I absolutely recommend this school without reserve.
My son is about to turn 4 and has been attending this school for just under a year. In that time he has learned to write his letters and numbers, recognize and name each of the 50 states, and do some basic math too! All before even being old enough for kindergarden. I am proud of my boy and thrilled with the teaching at Dynamite Montessori.
My boys have been attending this school since the age of 3. That is 7 years for my oldest and 5 years for my youngest. I could not be happier with this school. The attention and dedication given to my children is remarkable. Ms. Paula & Mr. Dennis know my children and work with their strengths to create well rounded human beings that can express themselves.
Our children have been attending Dynamite Montessori for over 4 years and in that time we have seen amazing transformations. Our children have not only grown academically, they have grown emotionally and socially. The entire faculty is focused on the total development of each child so they can grow individually while being part of a family. We have a tremendous amount of respect for what goes on everyday at Dynamite Montessori and we are privileged to have been a part of it and our children will forever be better because of it.

They foster an environment of learning that is unmatched as well as help children develop socially and emotionally.
My son is in his 3rd year at Dynamite and he is thriving! He is reading well and is not quite 5 years old. He very much enjoys school and I attribute that to the teachers & the positive environment. He is able to work at his skill level & the school always has new ways to challenge him. I feel that he's getting a very balanced experience at Dynamite. I'm very much looking forward to sending my toddler there next year!
