Schools in Scottsdale, AZ

“We have had such an incredible experience at The Goddard School in Scottsdale. Our daughter has been attending for the past 2.5 years, starting when she was just five months old, and we truly could not imagine sending her anywhere else.

The teachers and staff are absolutely amazing, the level of care, attention, and genuine love they show the children is unmatched. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing she is in such a nurturing and supportive environment every single day.

Miss Bettina, the director, is phenomenal. She is always on top of everything happening at the school and does a wonderful job keeping parents informed about updates, changes, and upcoming events. Her communication and leadership make such a difference.

Our daughter is always so happy and content when she’s there, which speaks volumes. One of our favorite parts of the day is seeing her infant room teacher, Miss Mariah, every morning—we always stop to say hello before heading to her classroom. It’s such a small moment, but it really shows the bond she’s built and how much she truly loves the people who care for her.

The school also does a fantastic job keeping us informed with regular updates on her day, meals, naps, activities, and the crafts and lessons they’re working on. We always feel connected and in the loop. Sarah Ann, her teacher is so special.

The combination of strong communication, thoughtful curriculum, and truly dedicated teachers makes this school so special. We are beyond grateful for the impact they’ve had on our daughter’s early years and would highly recommend them to any family.”

“We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Whiz Kids! My 8.5-month-old daughter has been attending since she was just 4 months old, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she’s received.

The staff is incredibly communicative, friendly, and you can truly tell they love what they do. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands.

I especially appreciate their focus on outdoor time and mental enrichment - reading books, playing with musical toys, and engaging the babies in thoughtful ways throughout the day. It’s clear they’re intentional about helping little ones learn and grow.

Highly recommend Whiz Kids to any parents looking for a nurturing and engaging environment for their child!”

“Developing minds is the second childcare center that we have been with and we are so so so impressed with the staff. They deeply care about your kids. I love that they follow a school year and that your child has the same teachers and same classmates for an entire school year, as our previous center did not do that and moved kids as they aged out of classes. We saw our son get stressed in the previous type of environment (he had sleep regressions and would cry a lot), but he absolutely thrives in this one.

The founders Deena and April deeply care about the kids and over the course of the year we noticed that basically the whole staff knows our kid, which has been really special. We've created friendships with other parents and feel so comfortable with every teacher we've ever interacted with. Plus our kid hardly wants to leave when we pick him up! The staff here is truly a second arm to our parenting team.

I'm not sure where those negative reviews are coming from, but I would take them with a big grain of salt.... especially the ones that don't give any context or story as to why they are having an issue.”

“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kiddie Kamous Daycare. My son, Ace, has been attending for a year and a half, and the care and attention he’s received have been consistently excellent. The staff are nurturing, patient, and genuinely invested in the children’s growth and well-being. It’s clear they create a safe, positive environment where kids can learn and thrive. I highly recommend Kiddie Kamous to any parent looking for reliable and caring childcare.”

“Mr. Isaac has been such a positive influence for our boys at Children’s Learning Adventure. His patience, especially with our youngest last year, does not go unnoticed. Both of our boys talk about him and absolutely love him. As they get older and closer to outgrowing CLA, it’s staff like Mr. Isaac that make it so hard to leave. We’re incredibly thankful for him!”

“So my son started here at 2.5 and from the start the school, the teachers and admin have been so loving and care so much. Small classrooms so your child will get all the attention they would need (this has been our experience)

My son has since grown into the preschool class and has so much fun with all his friends. The summer is great because they have twice monthly water days where the kids can cool off from the heat and is always a hit with my son.

My son two months ago had a medical emergency at the school and everything was handled quickly and efficiently. The staff truly treats each kid as a part of the little sunshine family. I have been supported as my family navigates this new medical condition. Every accommodation I’ve asked for my son has been granted no questions asked and he has never been made to feel different. We appreciate the teachers and staff at little sunshine and would definitely recommend at least taking a tour and you’ll see how the smaller classrooms and cozy vibes is the right conditions for young minds growing up.

Thank you little sunshine! We have been so happy with the care you’ve provided with our son ☀️❤️?”

“I am very impressed with LBM Scottsdale. The environment, curriculum, and staff are all top notch. You can tell that the school really knows and cherishes your children.

I was worried when starting because we are an english speaking household and I wasn’t sure if our kids would really grasp the lessons, but my son is now doing math in spanish! Highly recommend!”

“Both of my kids have attended PVCS, and we have been extremely happy with the school. We currently have our youngest attending, and he is having a wonderful time. We love the teachers and truly appreciate how they encourage children to develop independence at their own pace.

Our oldest was absolutely ready for kindergarten, and we could clearly see how well PVCS prepared him. The school itself is warm and cozy, and the playground is a great size for the kids.

Our oldest had Miss Erin in the pre-K classroom, whom we absolutely love. She is kind yet firm and always makes sure the kids are treated fairly. She knows every child by heart and truly understands their personalities. Our youngest had Miss Lynda, and she is the sweetest person I have ever met. It was hard for my little guy to let go of her classroom! He is now in Miss Angelica’s class and has transitioned wonderfully. Miss Angelica is also kind and firm, always addressing any issues and providing thoughtful solutions. She is a great listener and consistently makes sure parents feel heard and supported.

The list could go on, as there are many other teachers and caregivers who spend time with our children, and we truly appreciate every one of them. I also love how long many of the staff members have been at PVCS, it says so much about their loyalty, the positive environment, and how happy they are to be part of the school.

Being part of the PVCS community has been such a wonderful experience. The parents are very involved in all the kids’ activities, which is so important to see. As parents, we can be picky, and change is often harder on us than on the kids, but I truly appreciate how PVCS is always open to feedback and continuously looking for ways to improve.

We highly recommend this school???.”

“I'm incredibly pleased with LIFE so far. My oldest son is in the preschool classroom with Miss Elsa and Miss Taylor’s classroom, and I have witnessed tremendous growth in him. Miss Elsa is exceptional at taking care of the kids. Her genuine kindness and honest teaching approach are truly commendable. My other son is in the toddlers’ classroom with Miss Jenea and Miss Taylor, and he has been having an amazing time with both of them. I sincerely appreciate the sweetness and kindness displayed by both teachers. Miss Taylor not only prioritizes the well-being of the kids but also takes the time to inquire about how we, as parents, are doing. This level of care means everything to us.
In addition to the teachers, I value Chaya’s dedication immensely. She is always open to hearing my feedback and is prompt in responding to emails. Her unwavering commitment to the best interests of the children and the teachers is truly admirable. ??”

“Our daughter attended Scottsdale KinderCare 4 months-18 months and we have nothing but amazing things to say about the center, director, teachers, and programs. The teachers and Penelope, the director, deeply care about and love the kids and we felt that every day. We only left because we are moving out of the area and are truly so sad to leave the community we built here. I’ve referred many neighbors and friends to this center and highly recommend for anyone looking for an extension of their family in the Scottsdale area.”

“We couldn’t be happier with Little Kings and Queens Preschool! As parents, it can be tough trusting others with your child, but the staff here make it incredibly easy. They truly go above and beyond to ensure our daughter is well cared for, safe, and happy every day.

The teachers and staff are always so warm, welcoming, and genuinely happy to be there—it makes a huge difference. You can tell they really love what they do. The facility itself is always clean, organized, and well maintained, and everything runs smoothly.

We feel very lucky to have found such an amazing place for our daughter. Highly recommend to any parents looking for a preschool they can fully trust!”

“I would highly recommend First Steps Preschool to any parent! My daughter has been here for about 5 months and all I can say is she's so so happy there. All of her teachers are amazing! They go above and beyond for my babygirl. Her needs are always met and they help her reach her milestone goals. Everything is documented throughout her day so I can stay updated and I LOVE that they document pictures as well. I'm so happy and appreciative of everything that is done.”

“I absolutely love Primrose of North Scottsdale. My son is two years old and has been attending since he was just six weeks old, and we have been incredibly happy with the love and care he receives every day. The teachers are truly amazing and have made us feel like part of their family from the very beginning.
The entire staff knows my son, and he knows and loves them all, which speaks volumes about the nurturing environment they create. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a preschool that feels like home—one that genuinely loves your child, takes wonderful care of them, and helps them learn and grow.
My son has been thriving, and I’m so excited for the rest of his school years ahead. Thank you to the wonderful staff and the amazing leadership team for keeping this school such a safe, loving, and supportive place. You are all truly amazing.”

“The Scottsdale location of La Petite is INCREDIBLE. My daughter enjoyed going to school there so much. Her personality truly started to show in just a few weeks of preschool. She was very shy and timid at first, but with the comfort each teacher provided she was able to open up and be confident. Every single teacher we interacted with was amazing, they were all so kind, patient, and offered my girl guidance in everything. I’m going to miss this school SO much as we’re transitioning to kindergarten. I really couldn’t have asked for a better start to her education. This experience was way above my expectations. We’re so sad to leave!”

“My three kids attended global minds for preschool and summer school. They absolutely loved it. It was an amazing experience for them to learn two languages and it actually made them excel in grade school language and literature. The teachers are very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. The space with very welcoming. I highly recommend it.”

“We really loved the teachers there - they were very caring yet made sure my daughter got through all the parts of the course. The course itself was great - there was a full process to it, nothing was vague or wishy washy, and it delivered the results we were seeking - to have our daughter gain self-confidence and learn how to read properly (no guessing!).”

“My grandson could not be in a more caring, loving, positive, and well balanced academic, playful, creative, and social, environment!
He absolutely loves going to school!
Teachers and staff are for real! They are hard working, compassionate people who really seem to love their work and love every child there!
I only wish that the school went to twelfth grade!! ???”

“Love this gym! Super nice staff. Amazing vibes. The pools and courts and weight rooms are already fantastic. I'm hoping they'll continue to expand and evolve offerings like yoga and rock climbing in the years to come.”

“This place is amazing. All of my kids have gone here. The staff is amazing. They really know all the kids there well. My kids are safe and well taking care of. I can’t thank the team at Kids Inc enough for what they’re doing for my kids.”

“Miro International is an absolute gem of a school in our neighborhood. They really go above and beyond when it comes to the children, with their hands-on approach and genuine passion. My son's excitement to go to school every day is a testament to how much he loves it there. Learning Spanish at a young age is plus ! The school's cleanliness, professionalism, and caring staff make it even more special. I trust his teachers , and I love we found a school that cater to our needs !”

“The daycare has been such an incredible experience for our family. The staff is truly amazing—caring, attentive, and always going above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe, happy, and loved. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my son is in such good hands every day. You can tell they genuinely care about the kids and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a nurturing and positive environment!”

“Bright Horizons in Scottsdale is more than just a daycare—it truly felt like a second home for our son. We started part-time in the infant room because I was nervous about leaving him, but the staff made us feel so comfortable and took excellent care of him.

They follow a strong curriculum, so it’s not just babysitting. We loved getting milestone updates and daily photos through the app. As a parent of a toddler, I couldn’t be happier with the care and learning experience my child received. He had the chance to learn, play, build friendships, and grow in a loving and supportive environment.

We had to leave after moving to Peoria, and it was tough finding a place that compared. Miss Kat was so kind and allowed our son to stay a few extra weeks while I toured other schools. The teachers are patient, caring, and truly wonderful. Our son, who’s full of energy, especially loved Miss Onie—she was his favorite!

Bright Horizons and the staff are truly the best. Highly recommend!”

“We are extremely happy with Scottsdale Child Care & Learning Center! Our 2-year-old has been attending for two months and has already become part of the community.
The teachers are caring, attentive, and loving. Miss Alaina and all the helpers have been wonderful, and our daughter knows them all by name. Miss Kara and Miss Kim (the directors) are flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciate.
A big thank you to Miss Courtney for being so thoughtful and attentive with our daughter’s food allergy—it means so much to us.
We truly feel at ease knowing she’s in a safe, loving environment every day. Highly recommend! ?”

“We couldn’t be happier with this preschool. It’s an incredibly nurturing environment, especially for younger children. The teachers are not only highly attentive but also very personable, making it easy to feel connected and comfortable. They take the time to understand each child’s unique developmental stage and work with them individually to support their growth and learning.

Every time we walk through the door, we’re greeted with warmth, smiles, and genuine excitement that our child is there. The level of compassion and care from the entire staff gives us so much confidence that our 1-year old son is in the best hands.”
