Desert Heights Preschool

At Desert Heights Preschool, we provide a rigorous, standards-based academic environment through a balance of intensive, compassionate teaching. We believe in developing the whole child by using each lesson to support physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth. We have partnered with parents, educators, and neighboring businesses for over 20 years. Throughout this time we have maintained a safe, structured, learning environment. Our preschool provides care for 2-year-old through elementary school students.

Desert Heights Preschool is a Quality First provider. Quality First is a signature program of First Things First that partners with child care and preschool providers to improve the quality of early learning across Arizona. First Things First is one of the critical partners in creating a family-centered, comprehensive, collaborative and high-quality early childhood system that supports the development, health and early education of all Arizona’s children birth through age five.

Our classes focus on skills young minds need to successfully transition to Desert Heights Charter School with age appropriate learning in the following subjects.

Students additionally learn foreign language, both Spanish and Sign Language, and they participate in a fun and exciting class called Music and Movement, where they will learn that dancing, music, and exercise is both fun and educational.

In addition, all classes will participate in our Healthy Choices Program, which not only teaches the children to eat healthy and exercise, but it helps them identify what is a healthy snack and how it helps our bodies grow up strong. Lastly, our Pre-K exclusive Science program teaches the children countless things about our scientific world. They will learn many “Big Words”, and will dive into and explore everything from Anatomy to Space.
