With Guidance from the Arizona Early Learning Standards, our comprehensive curriculum encompasses a wide array of subjects and activities to nurture the well-rounded growth of your child. These include:
Customized Learning: We recognize that every child is unique, and their learning abilities vary according to their age and stage of development. To cater to these individual needs, we've structured our classrooms to offer a weekly theme-based curriculum. This approach ensures that the content and activities are thoughtfully tailored to meet the specific learning requirements of each age group.
Language Development and Phonics: Through engaging and interactive exercises, we foster a love for language and literacy in our students. Our phonics program equips children with the fundamental skills they need to become confident readers and communicators.
Math and Science: We make math and science come alive through hands-on exploration and discovery. Our goal is to ignite curiosity and promote critical thinking skills in young minds.
Social Studies: We introduce children to the world around them, helping them understand different cultures, communities, and the importance of being responsible citizens.
Art and Creativity: Our artistic endeavors encourage self-expression and creativity. Children have the opportunity to experiment with various art forms and materials, fostering their imagination and fine motor skills.
Sensory Play: Sensory activities stimulate the senses and promote cognitive and emotional development. We offer a variety of sensory play experiences to enhance sensory perception and coordination.
Cooking: Cooking activities not only teach basic culinary skills but also promote teamwork, following instructions, and the joy of creating something delicious.
Drama and Expression: Through dramatic play, children learn to express themselves, develop empathy, and enhance their communication skills.
Dance and Music: Movement and rhythm are vital for physical development and creative expression. Our dance and music programs allow children to explore these elements in a fun and engaging way.
Bible Stories: For families seeking a Christian-based education, our curriculum includes child appropriate Bible stories that promote moral values and character development.
At our preschool, we are dedicated to providing a well-rounded, engaging, and nurturing environment where every child can thrive academically, emotionally, and spiritually. We provide a theme based curriculum that the children love! We invite you to join us on this exciting educational journey, where we prioritize each child's unique development and growth.
We are a Star level 4 Childcare Center. Since 2010, we've proudly been active participants in the First Things First, Quality First Program. Our commitment to this program reflects our unwavering dedication to delivering the highest quality early childhood education. Through our participation, we gain access to a myriad of valuable resources and support, all geared towards enhancing the quality of our preschool. A few school benefits of Quality First are continuous improvement plans, assessments and assistance in classroom growths, educational empowerment for our employees to obtain college degrees, and supporting families with scholarships.
By participating in the First Things First, Quality First Program, we are not only committed to our own growth and improvement but also to providing the best possible educational experience for the children and families we serve.
As members of the Childcare and Adult Food Program (CACFP), we are delighted to offer all children in our care a well-balanced and nutritious dining experience that includes breakfast, lunch, and two snacks (one in the morning and one in the afternoon) at absolutely no additional cost to our families.
Our weekly menus are thoughtfully crafted with the dual purpose of meeting essential nutritional requirements while introducing our children to a variety of foods to support their dietary development. We believe that this diversity not only encourages healthy eating habits but also fosters an appreciation for different cuisines and flavors.
It's important to note that we are committed to equal opportunity and inclusivity. As such, we proudly adhere to the principles of being both an equal opportunity provider and employer.
We offer extended care services for students from Kindergarten through 5th grade, both before and after school hours. Our commitment to convenience extends further as we provide transportation to and from nearby public and charter schools, ensuring a seamless experience for both parents and students.
In recognition of the various school calendars, we also provide a comprehensive full-day program on days when schools are closed. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that your child's care and enrichment continue even when regular school hours are not in session.
