Opening soon, Desert Bloom Academy is a 9,500 sq. ft. early learning and enrichment center designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and community connection. Our campus combines child development classrooms, a teaching kitchen, and a working greenhouse to create a unique, hands-on learning environment for children ages six weeks through twelve years.
With a focus on sustainability, STEAM education, and farm-to-table learning, Desert Bloom Academy will offer an experience unlike any other in Southern New Mexico.
Learning That Grows With Them
Every child’s growth starts with curiosity. At Desert Bloom Academy, our hands-on approach encourages children to explore, question, and create. From planting seeds in the greenhouse to building early math and science skills in the classroom, we help students develop a lifelong love of learning.
STEAM-Powered Discovery
Our programs are built around STEAM—Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math—integrated into everyday play and exploration. Children learn to problem-solve, experiment, and express ideas creatively, preparing them for success in school and beyond.
Rooted in Community and Care
Desert Bloom Academy was founded with families and the Las Cruces community in mind. We’re creating a safe, inclusive environment that supports both children and parents—where collaboration, kindness, and connection are at the heart of everything we do.
Limited Enrollment — Opening Soon!
Spaces at Desert Bloom Academy will be limited to ensure small class sizes, personalized attention, and the highest quality of care. Families are encouraged to join our interest list early to reserve their place as we prepare to open.
