The purpose of this program is to give the students on the job training to high school students who are interested in early childhood education.  The students selected for this program have had a yearlong child development class.  Students have also completed a 5 hour observation on the developmental stages of a preschool child. 

Our preschool is a working early child development lab which focuses on the developmental stages of a preschool child. 

Our Beliefs:

• We believe in a quality preschool program where each child is unique and are encouraged to develop their talents and abilities.
• All Children will be in a safe non-threatening environment
• Playing is the child’s method of learning
• Each child will be prepared for Kindergarten through the Arizona Kindergarten Readiness Standards.
• We encourage the child to respect the rights of others.  We will respect the child and their individual development as well.
• We support an environment that helps children develop social skills while they become competent problem solvers.

Mission Statement:  We provide a safe, affordable and developmentally appropriate environment for preschool children to learn.  Our goal is to engage all children to become lifelong learners.
