About the Provider

Advertisement
Paradise Valley United Methodist Church Preschool was established in 1967 with a commitment to the intellectual and spiritual enrichment of our children. As a result of the dedication of our teachers, families, and church community, we are proud to be the only preschool in Arizona to have accreditation from the NAEYC (National Academy of Early Childhood Programs) dating back to 1986. The Preschool owes this distinguished record to its philosophy of encouraging growth and self-esteem through physical, creative, emotional, social, intellectual and faith-based development. We provide a caring community to nurture this development. The Preschool also supports parental involvement to enhance the value of each child’s family experience.
