About Our Program
Climbing Tree Community School, an Early Learning Center, is licensed by the AZ Bureau of Child Care and follows accreditation standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, the AZ Early Learning Standards for our preschool and pre-kindergarten classes, and the AZ Learning standards for kindergarten. We offer a variety of programs including part-day, full-day, and extended-day programs for children 3 years old through kindergarten age. Our school year program operates from August through May, and summer camp is offered in June and 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 capabilities. The curriculum encompasses a wide variety of experiences that are based on an understanding of child development and which support and expand each child's individual development.

Class sizes will range and are dependent on current enrollment. A typical classroom would have 12-18 children and two teachers. Your monthly tuition will vary depending on the program you chose. There is a registration fee of $125, 1/2 of the 1st month tuition, and a $50 per semester supply fee due upon enrollment. DES contracts and Quality First scholarships are available for our preschool and pre-kindergarten programs. Kindergarten families can apply to IBE for tuition reduction.
