About our Preschools

Focused curriculum designed specifically for children to learn practical skills to prepare them for K-12 and beyond. The Kindergarten Prep curriculum has an emphasis on literacy and academic content in an intentionally developed preschool environment. It is supplemented with: Fundations, LETRs EC, Handwriting Without Tears, We Thinkers! Social-Emotional curriculum. KPrep at this campus has an emphasis on S.T.E.A.M. and Unplugged Coding activities. 

Through project-based learning, the concepts of problem solving, creativity and investigation are introduced and reinforced to our early learners in the S.T.E.A.M. Kindergarten Prep program offered at Quartz Hill Elementary.  This full school-day program has an approach to teaching and learning that combines science, technology, engineering, the arts, and math to guide student inquiry, discussion, and problem solving.  Learning experiences align with the Arizona Early Learning standards as they support developing early critical thinking skills and global mindedness.  Through these experiences, children will use their imagination, be innovators and be inspired as emerging Trailblazers!

The Traditional curriculum utilizes a primary language arts program based on the Spalding Method using 'The Writing Road to Reading' (2012). It is a phonics-based program with an emphasis on oral phonogram practice. The mathematics program, Math in Focus, is a comprehensive program that develops strong algebraic concepts and problem-solving skills. Science, music, art, and physical education are introduced daily through hands-on discovery and other intentionally developed activities. Programming is supplemented with: Handwriting Without Tears, LETRs EC, We Thinkers! Social-Emotional Curriculum, STEM, and Unplugged Coding activities. 

Traditional Kindergarten Prep, offered at Canyon Rim Elementary, Spectrum Elementary and Neely Traditional Academy, is designed to give students that will be attending a Traditional Kindergarten a jump-start on their educational pathway. 

2026-2027 School Year

Tuition will remain the same as the prior school year. However, it will be billed at the daily rate rather than the monthly rate. This change will allow for lower payments during months with breaks, but may result in months with no breaks being a higher payment for that month. Payment is due for all school days with the contract period. Credit is not given for sick days or vacation days as the child’s placement in the class is still held.
