About the Provider

Description:

We believe that children “learn by doing,” and that by integrating skills and concepts into play activities, we can maximize learning potential. Each child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability and learning styles are expected, accepted and used to design appropriate activities. Interactions and activities are planned to develop self-esteem and positive feelings toward learning.

I would give this school a 0 if that was a choice they are horrible beware parents where you put your kids. This not a caring safe environment by no means. Certified teachers yelling at the kids and deffinately not teaching them right from wrong by allowing bullies right in the classroom. If you are a concerned parent the board will not hear any complaints you may have blame you and your innocent child.  This school is horrible and an utter disappointment!! Run Run Run DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE,  you may as well tell them to play in the road they would be safer. My poor 4yr old daughter suffered a horrible preschool experience became withdrawn and scared do to the abuse and lack of teaching the teacher and director provided. look into Tucson Country Day School if you are looking for a real school who will educated and care about your preschooler.
