View Hours & Programs Why Camelback Desert School Slide 1 Slide 2 Slide 3 Slide 4 Safe and Nurturing At our preschool, keeping our students safe and happy is our main goal. We care about every child and help them grow, not just in school but in life too. Our classrooms are warm and inviting, so our students feel comfortable exploring and learning. We teach them how to be kind and to respect each other, helping them to make friends and feel part of our school family. Each day, our teachers work to make learning exciting and full of joy. Family Communication We think that parents and teachers should work together as partners. Our teachers make sure that you know what your child is learning, how they are doing, and even if they ate all of their lunch! We want you to feel part of your child’s school journey. We also encourage you to share any questions or updates from home, so we can best support your child’s growth and happiness. Together, we create a caring team to help your child feel happy and safe at school. Well-Rounded Curriculum Our Links to Learning preschool curriculum helps children grow in many areas such as literacy, math, art, science, and social skills. Each skill builds on the one before, as children learn and grow. Our teachers personalize the learning to match the interests, learning styles, and abilities of each child. Well-Trained Teachers Our teachers know how to help each child grow and learn. They participate in ongoing professional development to stay up-to-date with the best ways to support children’s learning. They are dedicated to creating a warm and safe space where every child feels valued. Our teachers listen, encourage, and make learning fun every day. Watch your child grow Our entire focus is making sure your child is happy, thriving, and ready for what comes next. We’ve identified seven core subject areas for students to master – the perfect balance of academics and important social and emotional skills. When children are confident and independent, they’re far more likely to succeed academically and in life. That’s why we place such emphasis on skills like making friends, sharing, and learning to take care of themselves.
