Phoenix Children's Academy Private Preschool # 229

We have had a really great experience with PCA. The staff is incredible. My son has been attending PCA for almost 4 years and is thriving.

I’ve trusted this daycare with my son for several years, and overall our experience has been positive. The staff has always been kind, and my child has grown and learned so much here, which I truly appreciate. However, over the past six months, there has been an ongoing issue with another child displaying bullying behavior in the classroom. I was informed that there is a “three-strike” policy in place, but despite repeated incidents, it does not appear that this policy has been enforced or taken seriously. As a parent, it’s incredibly frustrating and upsetting to feel like my concerns—and more importantly, my child’s safety and well-being—are not being handled with the urgency they deserve. Consistency and accountability are so important in these situations, and unfortunately, that has been lacking. I genuinely value the care my son has received here over the years, which is why this situation is so disappointing. I hope the daycare will take stronger action moving forward to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all children

PCA Estrella was such a blessing to our family. All the teachers he had were so kind and our son learned a ton. It is an extremely safe and nurturing place to send your babies.

It was nerve wracking to imagine sending my 3 year old to school for the first time, but we are so fortunate to have stumbled upon PCA. My daughter started in their preschool program and is now in kinder readiness and WOW - what an incredible difference we’ve seen in her growth and development in this time. She comes home excited to share what she’s learned, and she so quickly got super interested in reading and is progressing so fast. The directors - Stacy & Eva have been SO great to us. So accommodating and friendly. The teachers we’ve had - Ms. Shauna, Ms. Clara & now Ms. Shar have been such wonderful influences on my daughter and she thinks of all the staff at PCA so highly. She even wants to pretend to be them when we play sometimes! After having been there for a bit now, we’ve also met tons of the other parents of PCA kids and all of them rave about it too. One of the other moms was even telling me yesterday that her 10(?) year old’s closest friend group are all kids he was at PCA with - even though they don’t go to the same schools anymore. You will love this school. Your kids will love this school. Truly wonderful people running it and also - the playground is beautiful and backs right up to the mountains so the kids have the most gorgeous place to play. Thanks PCA team, we’re so happy we found you. 🙏🏼🖤 (Also shoutouts to Ms. Mimi who does the cooking - my daughter loves her, and Ms. Saida & Ms. Gracie - also awesome supportive teachers)
