We have been at PCA for over a year and absolutely love it. I highly recommend. Teachers are so warm and caring I could not ask for a better place for my kids. We unfortunately have to move our kids closer to home which is such a difficult decision I had to make and wish I didn't have to. Wanted to shout out to Ms. Angie, Kaylee, Ms. Carmen and Ms. Mari. These people are amazing and so supportive. Ms. Carmen is such a kind and caring teacher to my 4 year old. I'm seriously bawling my eyes out having to take my kids to a different school due to commute. read more

We are so grateful for the wonderful care our daughter receives at Phoenix. Children's Academy. The entire staff, from the front desk team to the chef, teachers, and faculty, have made us feel at ease every day. We love and appreciate everyone there and highly recommend them for all your child's needs. Thank you for everything you do! read more

We left after being here for 3+ years due to recurring safety issues and an unfit director. When my child was 2 they were bitten by one child ~20 times. We begged the director Angel for intervention to no avail- it escalated to a serious choking incident before they were forced to expel him. We trusted she would learn from that and become more proactive, but she has not. In the 3yo class my child was scratched 25+ times by one child and despite us constantly following up Angel made no effort to work with the child's parents or to work directly with the child to change the behavior. The classrooms are overcrowded and chaotic, often over state limits during drop off etc. They got rid of the indoor play area so they could pack in an additional class, so the kids are cooped up all summer. Class iPads (and therefore any app updates) are down for months. Injuries (bites, scratches, falls etc) are not documented consistently. For the 3yo class, there is 1 potty for 26 kids, resulting in accidents. Nearly impossible to get ahold of Angel by calling. The director blames down - ie everything is the teachers fault, which we do not agree with at all. And in all of our time here I have never once seen her observing or interacting in a classroom. The teachers are warm and kind and wonderful, but they can only do so much without the director doing their job. There have been many teachers who had a profoundly positive impact on my kids (Ms Laura, Ms Elizabeth, Ms Madhu - wish I could name everyone). Although I adore and appreciate the teachers, I cannot recommend due to the overwhelming management/safety policy issues. Posting this review in the hopes regional sees it and improves the conditions for the kids and teachers still there read more

We had someone in the household test positive for Covid. We took my son out as soon as we found out (cold symptoms only). My son never tested positive for Covid or had any symptoms, but we kept him out for a full 10 days. He tested negative twice and his Ped cleared him to go back. They refused to take him back!! Saying that he needed to stay out for another 10 days!! Read the CDC policy people!! When I wrote an email about being upset I received no response!! They were going to still charge me for care for those 20 days they said he had to be out!! They obviously don't care about the family's that depend on them for care so they can work to survive!! They have a dumbest management at this facility! I advise you not to waste your money here!! read more

We started our son here 2 months ago when he was just 4 months old. This is our first child and we were very nervous about starting a daycare. Delightfully, that nervousness and any doubts we had quickly disappeared. We love Ms. Laura and all the infant teachers. Also, Athena at the front desk is amazing. Everyday we walk in, she greets us with a smile and overall seems happy to be there. This has been an amazing experience and I am so glad we went with Phoenix Children's Academy for our son! read more

Understaffed. Absolutely chaos in the rooms. My toddler was extremely stressed at this school. Pulled him out after severe behavioral changes and begging us not to take him there. We were only using this joe for the summer until his other preschool starts backup in august (which he flourished at and never had the same issues) . There ratios are horrible. More like a daycare rather than a preschool. read more

The hardest job you have as a parent is choosing who your children are exposed to and where they will begin their learning journey. These experiences and individuals will teach them, mold them and provide a foundation for how they set off into their next phase of education. I chose PCA originally for its convenience; it was on the way to work, I supported their learning model and they provided the nutritious meals and snacks (bonus). Fast forward 2 years and my boys attend because of the staff I now consider an extension of our family. They have provided this mom with comfort which as most parents know is no easy task. I am thankful my boys have a safe and educational environment to begin learning how to create healthy relationships with adults and peers. PCA has also provided me with the confidence in knowing that my children will go into primary school prepared to be successful Thank you PCA Happy Valley! read more

We have a 12 month old that has attended PCA for 8 months now. We started at PCA when she was 4 months, and left for one month because we wanted her to go to a private religious school. The private religious school did not even come close to the level of care that PCA provides. Leaving for one month and coming straight back, truly taught us the value and quality that PCA provides and is why I feel moved to write a positive review. The teachers in rooms infant A & B are hands down some of the highest caliber people on the planet. They truly love our daughter and it shows in the way that she interacts with the teachers & staff. The number of babies fluctuates throughout the day, but they do a good job ensuring that the babies get quality attention. They do a great job uploading pictures throughout the day in the app. The front office puts on additional events outside normal business hours, ex: Snow Day Saturday, Trike-A-Thon, Parents Night Out, etc. I would personally recommend PCA to friends and family. read more

My daughter had to come here as a back up option offered by my employer since her regular daycare was closed. Athena made the process super simple. The staff is very caring and helpful. The rooms are very clean and maintained. My daughter would come home happy and tired from all of the fun she had with the staff and other babies. We have used this location a few times when her regular daycare was closed and loved it so much we will be enrolling full time. Thank you PCA for all you do to keep our babies healthy, happy, engaged and learning. read more

I'm so dissatisfied and disappointed with this school. My two year old has got bit 3 times and no one seems to care. One of the teachers made sure to let me know it wasn't her fault.... it's your fault if your supposed to be taking care of my child. Now my child hates school she's so fearful of her classroom. She screams no bite when I drop her off. This place has ruined her first experience of school. We will never go back and recommend others don't! read more

Absolutely love PCA and their staff! Have had my little enrolled here since she was 9 weeks, she's now 2 and we have not had a bad experience yet! Everyone knows your family by name and they love the kiddos so much! I cannot day enough good things about them!!! read more

Kind. Caring. Understanding. They helped my child get comfortable in a new school and class while we transitioned from out of state. Their understanding and handling of our situation got us back in, even after it didn't work out the first time. Thank you PCA! read more

We have loved our experience at PCA. The staff has been helpful and supportive. As first time parents, we have learned so much from the caregivers. Their knowledge has helped us maintain our sanity and encouraged us to try new things. I believe they truly care for our son and I treat him as one of their own. He lessons he learns while at daycare are valuable and set him in a positive direction. read more

My son is been going there for almost 3 years and I always feel like he is loved and well taken care of there's been some bumps in the road was staff along the way but that is just how it goes sometimes Katie the director is awesome and very easy to talk to they've gotten me through some very tough times with our son and always super supportive baby number two will be attending PCA as well read more

I only left this facility because my work location changed, and I wanted to have my kiddo closer to my work. This is a wonderful place for kiddos. Even during COVID, they somehow made us feel cared for like family. They're also doing a great job with precautions during COVID, which gives this mama peace of mind. Ms. Laura took extra care to help my little one adapt to daycare at 5 months old. She was always gladly willing to take my call when I wanted to check in. The program director, Danica is very hands on and incredibly professional and kind. read more

Daycare + education!! Both of my boys attend this preschool and I am very happy. They are very organized, clean, and flexible. They have a stable curriculum and fun toys to keep them entertained. The bring and pick up after school and have field trips in the summer. I wish they had more locations. My son comes him with his schoolwork completed giving him more time with me. I just moved and no longer have the ability to get my school age son to their location. I am very sad to be leaving. I recommend to anyone looking for childcare. read more

Love this place. Katie the director is super nice. Cindy in the 2's room is absolutely amazing when it comes to potty training. She trained both my kids! I love the fact that every teacher knows my kids names even if they are not in their classroom. They are super flexible. I am a nurse so I only need 2-3 days a week. I pay for 2 and if I need the third I just pay the extra. They offer parents night out monthly and also do fun activities like snow day, fall festival, and sweetheart dance. Very clean. read more

I took my two young boys there off and on for about three years. In the beginning, it was great. Since management has changed, I have been very disappointed in the staff. In the mornings they were like drill sergeants, forcing all the kids to sit quietly at the table. Every evening, you could hear children crying from the parking lot. I overheard a teacher yelling at her class telling them she was going to go to their houses and break all their toys. My boys hated it, I hated it, and apparently the employees hated it. read more

My husband and I had just moved to AZ with our darling daughter and we had to put her in daycare. She was 6 months old. We searched and looked at a few places and NOTHING compared to here. We knew we were home! It is well-kept, organized, CLEAN, the staff is incredible and the whole experience has made this transition as seamless as possible. We have been with PCA Happy Valley since June- she's now 1 year's old, and we couldn't be happier with the care and love she has received here. The staff is AMAZING in the infant rooms: (Infant A) Ms. Laura, Ms. Debbie, and (Infant B) Ms. Tammy, Ms. Stacy & Ms. Sabrina, are all wonderful women and caregivers whom I trust leaving my pride and joy with while we are at work. They listen to everything you say, remember any/ all instruction, give regular updates and daily records and always let you know what's going on with your child. It's the hardest thing to put your child, especially infant, in daycare and go back to work. We are so, so grateful we found PCA and it just helps us breathe easier during the day. The front end staff: Caitlyn, Ashley and Dawn are literally THE BEST! They are so understanding and always want to work with you and help however they can. They KNOW your child. They are just wonderful all around. Highly recommend to any parents looking for help :) Feels like family! read more

We are very pleased with our experience at PCA. Being a first time mom and leaving our son with strangers was very nerve racking at first. They made it an easy transition for both me and my son Easton, and we are very happy. He seems to be learning so much from there and always comes back happier than every. The teachers are very active with the kids which is great. Thank you for everything that you do!! read more

Our daughter is 4 and she only started going to PCA Happy Valley last year. She was very shy but after a few weeks she loved it. She learns a lot there and we are very happy with her progress. PCA Happy Valley has wonderful teachers and staff. (Especially Mrs. Adriana) read more

When you drop your child(ren) off ANYwhere, you want them to be safe, have fun while learning new things, and you want to feel comfortable with environment you are leaving them in. You want to know that you are leaving them in the hands with people who truly care about them. This is exactly how I feel every time I drop off my son at Phoenix Children's Academy Happy Valley! He's been going here for a little over 2 years, and I'm really happy with our choice. My husband and I visited so many other preschool/daycare centers, and really nothing compared to PCA. The director, Miss Katie, has a warm and welcoming vibe to her school, and we've been happy with all the teachers we've had up to this point! Everyone is very communicative and friendly, and the school has fun events throughout the month like Parent's Night Out, holiday parties, and seasonal events. Last weekend they covered the parking lot with snow so our kiddos could experience what snow feels like in this desert! We are really pleased with Phoenix Children's Academy and highly recommend you check them out. read more
