Description: Our philosophy is to foster each child’s intellectual, physical, emotional and language development in an environment which is safe, nurturing and challenging while being sensitive to the needs and preferences of families. The children learn to grow and develop a positive self-image and a strong sense of their Jewish identity using a multi-sensory approach and a developmentally age appropriate curriculum that integrates Judaic and secular materials.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

My husband and I are both educators and we have looked for/used childcare for our 2 kids for a total of 6 years. The ECC at TKA is without a doubt the BEST CHILDCARE in the area (North Phx, close to Kierland). We used ECC for almost 2 years with our younger son. There is very very little turnover. The staff and teachers stay for years and years. They truly love kids and it shows. We aren't Jewish, and never ever felt out of place here. It gets a little expensive, especially if also pay for the aftercare but it is worth it. I felt great about leaving our son here every single day. I wish our older son could have had this experience. Check it out.

The director of the school shared personal medical information about my children with another mom at the school. I found this out when this other mom shared it with a gal that randomly knew my sister in law and was talking about my children. The teachers are wonderful but the director did not handle herself properly in my case.
