About Our Program
Climbing Tree Community School is licensed by the AZ Bureau of Child Care. We follow accreditation standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the AZ Early Learning Standards for Preschool and Pre-kindergarten, and the AZ Learning Standards for Kindergarten. We are a DES-certified school with a 4-star Quality First rated program and an Institute of Better Learning (IBE) partner.
We offer part-day, full-day, and extended-day programs for children 3 years old - kindergarten. Our school year program operates August - May, with a summer camp in June - July. We follow TUSD's calendar for school breaks, holidays, and in-service days.
Our Curriculum
We view children as feeling, thinking, feeling, creative, and growing individuals. Our curriculum is child-centered and focuses on play as a dynamic form of learning that involves a wide range of intellectual, social, emotional, and physical opportunities. The curriculum encompasses a wide variety of experiences that are based on a deep understanding of child development to support and expand each child's unique learning journey and development.
We strongly believe in the importance of low student-to-teacher ratios allowing more individual care, guidance, and support. Class sizes will range and are dependent on current enrollment. A typical classroom could have 12-18 children and two teachers.
Tuition
Your monthly tuition will vary depending on your chosen program and schedule. Initial enrollment fees include a registration fee of $125, 1/2 of the 1st month tuition, and a $50 per semester supply fee to secure and hold your placement.
Tuition payments can be made a tracked through our management software Procare Solitions.
