Paradise Valley Community School (PVCS) - Scottsdale, Arizona

My daughter went to PVCS and now my son and we couldn’t be more happy. From the amazing owners and manager Debbie to each and every teacher and staff member, they make you and your family feel welcome, comfortable, important and part of the family. They have undergone renovations to update the school which was seamless for the families and turned out amazing. They have engaging activities that are developmentally appropriate and the teachers truly care about each child and their progress. You know your child loves their school when they wake up on weekends asking to go and don’t want to leave when you pick them up!

I worked at PVCS is for a bit over a year and loved every moment, if you want supportive management and respectable coteachers that promote collaboration and teamwork this is the place for you!

We love this school. Our older child attended for Pre-K a few years ago, and our younger child in enrolled now. The teachers are thoughtful, kind, and so talented; our kiddos both blossomed under their tutelage. Their play-based learning model is what originally drew us to them, and their excellent implementation of it is why we stayed.

Our 4 Year old has been at PVCS for 3 years now and we couldn't be happier. This is very much a family run business and we feel like part of the family. The teachers are wonderful and it's such a positive atmosphere. Prior to PVCS, we had another child at a different daycare center and the turnover in staff was constant. The staff here are all long-term and are absolutely amazing and the communication on all levels is outstanding. Happy to see our little one grow up and move on to kindergarten next year, but we'll be so sad to leave PVCS. We can't recommend it enough!

We are thrilled to have found PVCS after moving to AZ! We send our 2 year old and 5 year old here and only have fantastic things to say about the staff, teachers, curriculum, and (recently updated and shaded) play areas. Even better, the school has a true community feel and goes above and beyond to accommodate the needs of their students and families. We know - due to my work schedule ramping up over the past few months, we’ve had to increase the kids’ school hours on several occasions, and Ms. Debbie, the school’s director, is always understanding and flexible.

We are grateful to have found a school that the kids are incredibly excited to attend, where respect, kindness and curiosity are taught and encouraged each and every day. Given the school’s play-based model, they make school both educational and fun - all that we could ask for as parents!

Absolutely stellar experience at this family-owned daycare. Not only Director Debbie is a shining example of professionalism, kindness, and genuine care for all the children, but the entire family that owns this establishment is present and engaged every single day. Their dedication is evident in the loving atmosphere they've cultivated. Each teacher radiates love and dedication, making every child feel special and valued. This is our second year here, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the nurturing environment our almost 4-year-old daughter receives. Highly recommend this daycare to any parent seeking a safe, loving, and enriching place for their child to grow!

My oldest child started at PVCS in 2020 and my second started a couple years later. It has been a wonderful experience. My oldest graduated the pre k program last year and is having a great year so far in kinder. I think it has much to do with the classroom preparation and learning she had at PVCS. My third child will be starting part time in August. We live about 15 minutes away but the drive is well worth it for this amazing school!

PVCS has been the greatest gift to our family. Our now kindergartener went through the Pre-K program and our experience was night and day compared to the 2 other valley daycares we had previously utilized. We now have a younger sibling who started there as a 1 year old and have seen them flourish from day 1. Their approach to handling deeply feeling children is unmatched. It is such a nice feeling to be able to drop your kiddos off while going to work, knowing that they are truly loved and cared for all day long. It truly is a family environment. Cannot say enough great things about the staff and the other families.
