Raising Arizona Preschool Is a Different Kind Of EnvironmentÂ
We believe, learning is not about filling an empty vessel, but about kindling a fire within a young mind. We believe that children do not care what you know, until they know that you care about them, so each day starts with developing a caring relationship with your child.
Your Child Is Our Priority
By providing children with a creative, stimulating environment – we will encourage your child’s imagination while maintaining the high level of care and support you expect.
Engaging Programs For All Ages
Since our enrollment is open to children ages 12 months to 12 years old, we have worked to develop unique programs that will keep children of various ages interested and engaged during their time at our facility. Unlike many day cares who provide generic activities, Raising Arizona Preschool has discovered a whole new way to keep your child active, creative, and entertained. We believe that nothing is more damaging to your child’s education than boredom. Learn more about Raising Arizona Preschool’s curriculum.
All Kids Are Basically Good
Our approach to child care is unique, and we focus more on praising good behavior rather than punishing bad. We understand that children of all ages learn through playing, and we strive to create a safe, enriching environment for them to grow, learn, and play in.
Safety Comes First
They actually want to be here! In fact most of them LOVE to be here! We love your children.
Parents can also feel confident knowing that each of our staff members are CPR/First Aid certified with Level 1 FBI Clearance Cards.
