Dancing Moose Montessori School provides early childhood education centered on the belief that young children have incredible potential. With a whole-child approach to learning, the school supports children’s physical, social-emotional, and academic development while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
The school’s educational philosophy combines traditional and progressive elements to create a learning environment that recognizes each child’s individual needs and abilities. Dancing Moose teachers guide students through discovery-based experiences designed to develop creative and critical thinking. Rather than focusing solely on academics, the program emphasizes growth across multiple areas of childhood development, helping children build skills and confidence at their own pace.
Dancing Moose places a strong emphasis on the quality of its teachers, recognizing their important role in shaping children’s educational experiences. Its approach aims to provide a nurturing, loving, and safe environment where children can explore, learn, and grow. Carefully designed school facilities further support this mission, with welcoming, clean, and light-filled spaces intended to help children thrive.
The school operates three early childhood campuses across Salt Lake and Utah County. The Garden Campus is located in West Valley City, the River Park Campus is in South Jordan, and the Museum Campus is at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. Each location is designed to provide a supportive setting for early learning and development.
Dancing Moose Montessori School offers school-year registration and summer camp opportunities, giving families options for their children’s early educational experiences. Parents can explore the school’s programs, meet the teaching team, review parent resources, and schedule a tour to learn more about its learning environments and educational philosophy.
Through individualized guidance, a whole-child focus, and an emphasis on discovery, Dancing Moose Montessori School seeks to help young learners develop the foundational skills, confidence, and enthusiasm for learning that can support them throughout their educational journey.
