About Phoenix Children’s Academy Private Preschool in Gilbert, AZ

Phoenix Children’s Academy Private Preschool, Lindsay offers daycare services, preschool programs, and before & after care for ages 6 weeks through 12 years old. Our welcoming preschool center in Gilbert features 10 custom-designed classrooms where children have fun learning in a cozy, homelike atmosphere.

We are proud to lead the way in preparing children for kindergarten. Through our specialized curriculum and dedicated teachers, we strive to ensure that your child is not just ready for kindergarten, but ready to excel. In 2024, 100% of the Pre-K children assessed in our school demonstrated Readiness or Advanced Readiness for Kindergarten!

We take advantage of the wonderful Arizona weather with lots of scheduled outdoor activities on our large playground, which features a splash pad to keep the kids cool all summer long. When it’s too hot outside, we have an amazing indoor playground and gross motor room that keeps the children busy and engaged. Our preschoolers also love playing educational games on our school’s Smart Board.

Our Programs

Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoOur preschool teachers work from our Ascend Curriculum, which takes a skill-based approach to early child education. This proprietary curriculum recognizes that young children need much more than cognitive development and provides a flexible framework that helps our students reach important social, emotional, creative, and physical milestones.

Our teachers introduce new skills every month, which allows students to progressively build valuable skill sets in subjects such as Physical Fitness, Creative Expression, Literacy, Mathematics, and Cultural Understanding.

Kind Child

Kind Child Program LogoKind Child is one of the most popular subjects in our Ascend Curriculum. Kind Child helps children build social skills and take on character traits such as Responsibility, Thankfulness, Friendship, and a Positive Self-Image. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school too.

School-to-Home Connection

Maintaining a strong partnership with our families is an important part of a successful preschool experience. We keep our families informed about their child’s day and academic progress through a variety of communication pieces. Our students are constantly working towards important milestones, which are documented in Developmental Portfolios and track a child’s developmental journey from Infants all the way through Pre-Kindergarten.

School Director

I have been working for Cadence since 2017. My favorite thing about working for Phoenix Children’s Academy is to see all the fun exciting activities our children do and watching them grow and develop new milestones. My passion is growing a team that is able to thrive and help children grow and offer them an environment like home. As the director at Lindsay, I strive to create a community that offers a safe environment for all children and families.  I enjoy learning new ideas and finding ways to help all children be successful in preschool and set them up for success. In my spare time, I enjoy paddle boarding with my husband and our three children. Our weekends are busy with sports and extracurricular activities.

I’ve worked for Cadence for 10 years. I have my associates in early childhood education. Working with children and making a difference in their lives has always been a passion of mine. I have 3 children of my own who I love dearly and helping and watching them reach goals and different milestones has been my greatest achievement.

Nothing but great things to say about PCA-Lindsay! They have been so welcoming and have had great open communications. The director Caitlin and the teachers at PCA-Lindsay have exceeded our expectations! Follow up email regarding our first week. Thank you so much for giving us such great care for our son.

My son started in Infants with Ms.Kim when he was 6 months old and is now in the Two year old class with Ms.Jazmine still loving school everyday! He has learned so much from sign language to building a routine and maintaining it. Ms.Jazmine is amazing at updating the app and making sure the kids are happy and safe! All the teachers are so sweet and welcoming especially his past teachers, always stopping him in the hallways to say hi and give him hugs. When voicing any concerns or questions, Caitlin and Ariane are always very responsive and helpful when finding an answer/solution! Safe to say that PCA is my son’s home away from home & his safe place!

The school is flexible with my schedule, great communication, safe, structured and always doing fun projects and activities to keep the kids engaged. A huge bonus is the meals and snacks provided! My kids love it—especially lollipop fridays!!!

I absolutely LOVE PCA!! My daughter has been here for 3 months and she loves coming to school!! She used to be shy and to herself but she has blossomed here. Ms. Julie and Mrs. Aseel are amazing teachers and always keep me updated with what my daughter is doing and eating throughout the day. They communicate well through the app and my daughter loves them!
