When we moved to Tucson, my biggest concern was finding a quality preschool for my boys. As soon as I toured TCS, I knew I had found something magical. The teachers were inviting and knowledgeable, the classrooms intentional and engaging, and the outdoor spaces inspiring. As southern Arizona's only parent-cooperative preschool and kindergarten, the community bond is unparalleled. The parent body is down-to-earth and engaged. I feel so lucky that my children are able to grow and learn in an environment that truly understands and values the experiences of children. TCS has been the biggest gift to our family!

I have full trust in the teachers at Happy Trails and especially the head of the program to create a safe, fun, and constructive environment for my kid. Whenever there has been a rare issue with staffing, I found that Terri, the head of the program, moves very quickly, and effectively to resolve the problem - always to the benefit of the kids. My family is not overly religious, and even though Happy Trails identifies as a Christian preschool, I've never had an issue with anything that they have taught or shared. I am going to continue to send my son to after school care at Happy Trails until he is too old to attend.

My 4yo still has nightmares about the few days he was enrolled here. Sending him there was the…read moreworst parenting decision I've made. They care way more about packing as many children in a room as possible than the actual child's well-being. Children were literally holding my child down on the playground behind a playhouse and bullying him throughout the day. After the situation was "addressed" it happened again the next day. Rather than apologize the teacher actually suggested the bullying had something to do with me or him.
