This school has been such a haven for both of my kids. I have a 4 year old autistic son who goes to…read moreSCI in the afternoon after his ABA therapy at SPBS (also amazing place) and my daughter (his twin) who cognitively is fine but had a stroke which caused her left-sided hemiplegia goes there all day. The teachers, supervisors, techs and even the front-desk are absolutely wonderful-always smiling and positive and the classes are small, which I love because the kids are able to get so much attention and support that you could never get at public schools. Then they add in individual programs for the kids to work on after completing intake testing and it makes for such an incredible place that challenges each student to learn at their best ability while giving them great socialization at the same time. My son is able to learn preschool basics while also working through some of his behaviors. Just like at the SPBS clinic, the staff records all program data results in real time on their iPads so they can always track a child's progress and readjust when necessary. Even for my daughter, not only is she learning to read but the school worked with her outside OT to find out exercises and strategies that they could incorporate into her daily routine to help encourage the use of her right hand. They also have peer students to make sure that students have exposure to kids without any behavior or developmental issues. The students learn about different places each week, make fun crafts, have show and tell plus other various fun activities such as going to the park, playground games, yoga and obstacle courses. The school even works on skills such as sharing, taking turns, getting someone's attention, waiting, responding, table manners, etc. As a parent, you also are able to join ClassDojo to get pictures and videos of the kids working on things throughout the week, which makes my day to get to see. Lastly, they care so much about ensuring the success of their students that they voluntarily assist with their MET meetings and future placement. I only wish we could keep our kids here for longer!

The teachers have been there forever (low to no turnover) and absolutely love on your kids and - even better- want what's best for them. They view your family as humans (not a paycheck or number) & will truly go above and beyond to meet any and all needs to support all of your family. Between my 5 children this is the 5th preschool we've attended and my last 2 absolutely will never attend any other preschool. They value academic education thru art, music, sensory and small group activities; and place emphasis on emotional growth through research based social/emotional programs. They engage community/family involvement by having parents night out, family movie nights, and holiday themed events. Thank you PVCS for treating us like family- we love you!

They have prepared him so well, emotionally and education wise. We were a relocation and the scottsdale school quickly became our support system and new family. They were so warm and welcoming. Each teacher made a point to know us and our children. The owner is incredible, I don't think you will come across another preschool owner who is so invested. The education, parent involvement, parties, concerts, art shows, the list goes on. It's outstanding all around. I have a little who is currently there currently, and when he graduates it will be a very hard day for us as we feel this school to be so special. I have had many friends transfer due to inadequacies at other schools and they are all so impressed and wished they moved sooner.

But seriously: I did a tours for my 3 year old daughter at many different preschools and this one stood out as the best one by a long shot! As soon as you walk inside, everyone greets you in a calm, caring, and JOYFUL manner. My daughter is shy and refuses to speak to new adults a lot of the time and even she opened up immediately when we toured here. I completely trust that this preschool will be the perfect fit for my daughter and my daughter seems to agree- she cried when she had to leave!

Transparently we have not actually sent our kids to this childcare center however I did tour it and…read morewas beyond impressed with them. The campus itself is super cute and set up very classroom style, which I think is a positive experience for young kids all of the kids and teachers were fully engaged and so happy. They also have a community area for kids to eat lunch to get them used to cafeteria style, which I thought was super cool and their meals are on the healthier side compared to most childcare centers. They additionally have some extracurriculars that you can pay extra for like dance or art for about $10 additional a week. They are on the slightly more expensive side, but honestly very reasonable in comparison to other childcare centers in the valley. If it was a little bit closer to our house or in a more convenient location, we would be sending our children here.

I had my son here for two years and unfortunately it did not work out…read more I do love how friendly the girls are up front (there are some great women there) and it makes for a good atmosphere for the parents but the daycare seemed to have a high turnover rate with teachers and just an underlying toxic tone. I saw one teacher not being very patient or friendly with a child and later she was moved out to help with other activities (thank god). Another younger teacher would stomp past us and not even smile as if she hated us and her job. I understand my son made friends with a boy who seemed to be a troublemaker so he was difficult but the way the school handled it was by putting him up front in time out nearly everyday, and the teacher accosting me and telling me that he needs assessments as if he's special needs and then moving him down to half days only. I left in tears one day because of the way the teacher treated me. We transferred to the Scottsdale School and my son is thriving ! He has been learning SO much, the teachers have been there for years so they don't have a high turnover rate and my son loves going. I feel great dropping him off and they all love my son and he's super popular in school. We have had ZERO issues there. I do realize other people have good experiences here but I just always felt super off and stressed dropping my son off at this daycare. This daycare seemed to have a negative attitude towards my son (which may have been justified because of negative influences) which made for a somewhat threatening environment for him. Just know if a daycare is not working out then you can always find a better environment for your child. Young children are very influenced by other kids in the class so getting them into a different school may be appropriate.
