ABOUT KIDZ-ZONA
A nationally accredited, 5-star Quality First school in Tucson. From six weeks old, every year here builds toward one thing: a child who walks into kindergarten confident and eager to learn.
OUR STORY
By the conclusion of 2020, we had achieved considerable growth, expanding from a single exceptional three-year-old student, Emma, to establish a flourishing community over the preceding five years.
Equipped with six expansive classrooms, we remain dedicated to delivering a premium quality experience for each child in our care. Our national accreditation and 5-star Quality First rating substantiate our unwavering commitment to excellence in early childhood education. We invite you to participate as we persist in cultivating and motivating the emerging generation of learners.
RECOGNITION
NECPA is a prestigious, independent national rating system that recognizes excellence in early childhood education. Only a select percentage of child care programs nationwide achieve this status. It means our program goes far beyond standard state licensing requirements to deliver the highest possible quality of care, education, and safety.
Quality First is Arizona's premier, voluntary quality rating and improvement system for early childhood education, managed by First Things First. Programs are rigorously assessed on a scale of 1 to 5 stars, which measure standards that go far beyond basic state licensing to ensure children receive the highest level of care and education.
KINDERGARTEN READINESS
Kindergarten readiness is not something we start in the last year. The Experience Curriculum runs in every classroom, including the infant room, and in Preschool and Pre-K our own academic curriculum prepares children for the classroom ahead.
Ages 6 Weeks To 1 Year
Readiness starts in the infant room, where early language, movement and social skills grow through play every day.
