This school utilizes seclusion and restraint on students as young as kindergarten.
Posted by a parent on 1/6/2026We love Mariposa! From the dedicated staff and teachers that cultivate a culture of respect and curiosity to the diverse group of highly engaged families, this school is a community where students can thrive.
Posted by a parent on 11/21/2025I have three children at Kyrene de la Mariposa, and our experience has pleasantly surprised us. The teachers genuinely care about each child, meet them where they are, and create an environment where kids feel supported, challenged, and excited to learn. The computer science immersion program has be
Posted by a parent on 11/19/2025Mariposa is an incredible school, and I’m so grateful my family found this special gem. The teachers have an average tenure of nine years—something that’s truly rare—and the leadership team knows every child by name. My child has absolutely thrived at Mariposa.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLooked great at first, and most of the grade-level teachers are actually excellent. The experience as a parent of a SPED kid, though, has been terrible. Ignoring the IEP and parent concerns; refusing to accommodate or test for need; a Resource teacher who just fed the kid answers and ignored and denied their challenges. They've also ignored bullying of IEP kids and refused to support the kids through it. Just overall not a good place if your kid needs any support at all beyond the average kid.Parent Review4mo ago - Kyrene De Las Brisas School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery disappointed on how most of kyrene schools have gone down hill including this 1, teachers are great special education is great, what's getting in the way is kids behaviors with no consequences ever sweep it under the rug. Even the teachers have stated they've never seen such terrible behavior up until this last year. Very disappointedParent Review1y ago - Kyrene de los Ninos School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son absolutely loves DGM. Having been there for almost 3 years, he has built a solid foundation in Montessori principles and has built incredible social and emotional skills. The teachers are very respectful, friendly and accommodating to all student needs. Their organic food program is unbeatable. I would highly recommend, especially for younger ages where foundations are essential.Parent Review1mo ago - Joyful Beginnings Academy
