About the Provider

Description: Kids are curious by nature. At Curious Kids Preschool our mission is to foster that curiosity through a fun learning experience that will provide our students with the best foundation for Kindergarten.

Curious Kids will provide a safe clean environment with dynamic and challenging curricula to develop our children’s academic and social abilities through age-related programs. We will also nurture a rounded development through:
instilling good manners and core values,
teaching good environmental practices such as the 3Rs: reducing, reusing & recycling,
learning the importance of nutrition and exercise as part of promoting good health,
open children’s minds to other cultures and customs.

As part of our commitment to health, nutrition and exercise Curious Kids participates in the Arizona Department of Health Services Empower Program.
At Curious Kids we belive that kids have enough exposure to television, phones, computers/tablets and games consoles, so we are a screen-free environment dedicated to creating hands-on activities.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

After 3 years attending this school the owner/manager kicked my daughter out 5 weeks before graduation because I couldn't talk to her during pickup. Hours later she sent us a nasty email and hid behind a contract that was not broken. She would not even allow us to grab my daughters things from her cubby. When faced with the facts she simply replied "I have nothing to add." Bottom line is she is extremely unprofessional. Parents save yourself the heartache and register your children with real caring professionals. Their website states that all teachers are degree qualified and that yoga; as well as, Spanish are taught weekly. This is not true. Teachers come and go. Ms. Esther hasn't worked here since 2018 because she couldn't get approval from management to have the same structure for the afternoon kids as the morning kid (the money maker). Also, your children will do the same art projects year after year.
