As we shared last week, Quality First is a new program in Arizona designed to improve the quality of early learning statewide. Raising Arizona Preschool is a proud participant and has three stars, which means we meet quality standards.

We believe that parents have a choice in where they send their children, and that not every center works for every family. We don’t believe in competitors in the preschool market, but believe in centers who strive to provide the best quality possible for the children in our care. There are other preschools in our area that are participating in Quality First. Here are a few that are not only participating, but who also have achieved three stars with Quality First:

• Desert Heights Preschool
• Child Times Children’s Center
• Sundance ECCEL
• Tutor Time
• Immanuel Care for Children

When choosing a preschool there are many things to look for, including a great staff, children who are happy, and who are learning, and a preschool that puts the child first. We believe we offer all this and more at Raising Arizona Preschool, and are happy to be meeting quality standards!
