Preschool in Tucson, AZ 85718
Our Early Learning Center is committed to being a child-centered developmentally appropriate program that provides for all areas of the childs development; the physical,
the social, the emotional and the cognitive, through an integrated approach.
At CFSD Valley View Early Learning Center we believe children learn best through play experiences. Children build their knowledge through active learning. Our child-centered curriculum encourages choice-making, autonomy and social competence. Learning is an ongoing, evolving process – an individual continuum of acquired competencies.
Valley View offers a variety of programs to fit the needs of parents and their children. Please schedule a time to come visit to learn about our program and see what our Philosophy is all about.
The Catalina Foothills Valley View Early Childhood Center is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (www.naeyc.org).
