Early Childhood Campus


Every Gift Nurtures Our Children

Your generosity helps every child feel included, supported, and celebrated. At The Dahlia School’s Early Childhood Campus, we welcome children from 18 months to 6 years old. Our Comunidad Infantil program nurtures toddlers ages 18 months to 3 years, while our Casa de Niños program guides children ages 3 to 6.

Our commitment is rooted in Authentic Montessori values, Spanish Immersion, and equity-based education—ensuring that the opportunity to learn in two languages within a Montessori environment is never limited by a family’s income, background, or circumstance. When you give, you plant seeds of equity and opportunity that grow and ripple throughout our entire community.

Donations directly support:

  • Scholarships & Tuition Assistance so that every child, regardless of financial background, can thrive in our classrooms.

  • Enrichment Programs such as music, art, nature celebrations, and outdoor learning that expand each child’s experience of community and belonging.

  • Classroom Materials & Guides that make the Montessori and dual-language environment rich, hands-on, and engaging for every stage of early childhood.

Your contribution—any size—makes a tangible difference. Together, we can ensure that every child in our community has the chance to grow in a nurturing, bilingual, and inclusive environment.

All donations will receive a tax-deductible donation slip via email.

Thank you for helping us grow an equitable Spanish Immersion Montessori experience.
