4736 E INDIAN SCHOOL RD PHOENIX, AZ

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

Nicole P. says "We have been beyond happy with the care that our daughter receives at Tutor Time! In short, we cannot recommend Tutor Time highly enough. More specifics:...

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Phoenix, AZ

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Phoenix, AZ. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Phoenix, AZ for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Phoenix, AZ, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Phoenix, AZ.

When looking for a preschool near you in Phoenix, AZ on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code.
