About Our School
Committed to our Children, Committed to our Community
Climbing Tree Community School is a nonprofit Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Kindergarten. We also offer half-day Preschool and half-day Pre-Kindergarten for families who do not need the full day. Our mission is to provide outstanding and joyful early childhood education to the Tucson community. You can read our family testimonials here.
We are a Quality First School with a 5-Star rating. We are also a DES-certified school. Scholarships available.
Our kindergarten works with the Institute for Better Education (IBE) for tuition reduction. The IBE program lets you pay for your child's private kindergarten tuition by having friends and family redirect the Arizona state taxes they already owe into a scholarship for your student, at absolutely no extra cost to them.
The school is an independent nonprofit located in the south wing of the Blenman Elementary campus.

"If I could give more stars I would! This school is absolutely amazing and I am so thankful to be a part of the Climbing Tree community- it is such a great community! The teachers, director, and all the staff are so incredible and I love sending my daughter to school here. I toured many schools prior to finding Climbing Tree and I’m just so thankful we found this school because it made dropping my kid off to school for the first time a much easier transition for us. We are so comfortable at Climbing Tree and know our kid is in excellent hands! It is the best school ever!"
