Ascend Curriculum LogoThe flexibility built into our Ascend Curriculum provides us with endless opportunities to create personalized learning experiences for each child in our care. Our teachers introduce new skills within 9 subjects each month through activities that can be customized to match the needs and interests of each student, which makes these first educational experiences engaging, challenging, and fun for everyone!

Kind Child

Kind Child Program LogoKindness is the foundation of our preschool’s culture and an important part of our curriculum. Each month, our teachers work with our students to develop social skills, a positive self-image, and important character traits like friendship, empathy, thankfulness, and responsibility. The goal of Kind Child is to elevate the emotional-well being of every child and encourage friendships.

It has been challenging to find a childcare facility that delivers what is promised. We are so grateful for PCA and the environment that their director, Melissa, is working so hard to create. The teachers have proven themselves to be engaged and trustworthy and they even offer childcare during school breaks for older siblings.

Both my kids have been going here since they were little. This is such an amazing place! The staff is so accommodating and put you at ease knowing that your kids are safe and loved. I have nothing but wonderful things to say. Personally I believe both my kids have learned so much and are set up for success in their future.

I've had both my toddlers enrolled at this preschool. My oldest is now in kinder. My 5-year-old is in her second year of Pre-K at this academy, the staff is amazing. The director Ms. Candace, even more amazing! I love all the activities and events that they do. I love that they have a ceremony graduation. Both my children love love, love love, Miss Desiree. I would not want to put them anywhere else for learning and getting ahead, getting our Pre-K toddlers ready for kinder. A big thank you to Phoenix children's academy private school
