Schools in Gilbert, AZ

“We have two girls, ages 4 and 2 1/2 years old, who have been going to Primrose West Gilbert since July 2023. I can’t say enough good things about it, the staff and teachers have been absolutely amazing! The Administrative staff is always friendly, courteous and helpful to anything you might need. The Owner is very hands on which we love and the Teachers are extremely professional and do a wonderful job with the kids. We love the Primrose curriculum and that they require uniforms for Preschool and Pre-K aged kids. The school offers so many programs and events throughout the year, many free of charge, and there is something available for every child. If you are looking for a new daycare or preschool, I would highly recommend Primrose West Gilbert!”

“We love it here! Our little girl was at sunrise from 1-3 and we loved every teacher there. Miss Nica, Nikki, Drea, Linda, Selena and of course Ms Patricia at the front desk … all have felt like family to us. She made some of her best friends here too!”

“We have nothing but amazing things to say about Bridges! My daughter has been going here for over a year now and is absolutely thriving. She is beyond excited to go to school every day and has such a great relationship with her teachers/staff. The class sizes are small and they send out weekly lesson plans so we can stay up to speed with her learning. We have another child who will be starting here soon. Thank you Bridges for taking such great care of our family!”

“My daughter has gone to the Goddard school since two months old and in a couple of months my son will attend as well. I really believe the school has a huge impact on how well she’s developed. She loves all her friends. The office staff is communicative and helpful. Her current teacher miss Casey has done so well with helping her regulate her emotions and I’m very glad she’ll be in her class for her new transition as a big sister.”

“I've had my children enrolled at a Childs Place at the Ranches for almost 2 years. The teachers here truly care about the kids that are enrolled. They use an app to send photos and updates, and I can text with them throughout the day.They have a soccer program which is an additional fee, but makes it easy for working mom's like myself to have their children participating in extracurricular activities.I I would absolutely recommend this daycare to people who are looking for full-time excellent care for their kids. .”

“My experience has been amazing at this Goddard. The owner and director are wonderful! Both truly care for the children and are kind individuals. I have 2 kids in different classrooms. Every teacher is amazing. My kids love going to school everyday. The school is clean and safe. The classrooms are organized and fully stocked for my kids to be successful in learning. The weekly activities are so fun and my kids are learning so much. The communication is outstanding. I always know what is happening with my kids and never feel in the dark about what happens during the day. This Goddard gives me so much piece of mind while my husband and I are working. We are truly grateful to have found this school and wish the kids could stay there past Pre-K!”

“"I would highly recommend this preschool to friends and family. The school was great, very clean, and welcoming. The owner was incredibly nice and accommodating. My son is on the spectrum, and the teachers were extremely patient with him. They showed a genuine care for his well-being and made him feel comfortable.What stood out the most to me was the school's willingness to work with us, their patience, and their genuine care for my son. They provided us with valuable feedback and were always available to address any questions or concerns we had. This level of support made me feel comfortable and confident leaving my son in their care.As a parent, it's difficult for me to trust anyone with my son, given his vulnerability and behavior challenges. However, I can honestly say that I trust the people at this preschool. They are friendly, trustworthy, and truly have the best interest of the children at heart. My son was happy there, and I appreciated the way he was treated.If you're looking for a preschool that prioritizes the well-being and development of children, I highly recommend considering this place. The staff's dedication, friendliness, and trustworthiness make it a top choice for families like ours."”

“I love that Heritage is a Christ centered church. The first time I attended, there was no question about whether or not I’d be going back. I felt very welcomed by Pastor & the members. I also really enjoy Pastor Bublitz sermons. There are so many Bible studies & various other activities. If you’re looking for a church that’s welcoming & providing you more than just a Sunday service, then come worship & experience all this church has to offer!”

“I highly recommend this learning facility for the young ones. Our little one learns something new everyday. A great director followed by a great teaching staff is in place.”

“We love this Sunrise location! Very well run, amazing staff that loves kids, facilities are always clean and smelling fresh, and they always decorated for the holidays. Our daughter loves going to daycare, and they are always doing fun projects to take home. The communication between parents and staff is exceptional, and I know my daughter is in good hands when I drop her off. Thank you for all you do Sunrise on Bluejay in Gilbert, AZ!”

“We absolutely love Little Sunshines! My son has been attending since he was 7 months (now 2.5 years) and feel so comfortable with their whole team. Rebecca is an incredible director, very communicative and personable along with her AD Kim. My son started in the infant room with Jackie (she is the best with littles!) Sam and Hannah were amazing in the 18-24 month room and Betsy and Fannie in the 2 year old room. Every day my son comes home and tells me how much fun he had. It absolutely eases my worries as a working mom. They post so many pictures and updates throughout the day and are always making sure all parents are in the loop. On top of this, I’ve been impressed with my son’s development and learning through their monthly planned curriculum. LSP Val Vista has been the best choice for our son and I would absolutely recommend!!”

“I had my son at a previous daycare up the street which became a nightmare. I found PCA and the teachers as well as Ms. Betsey and Sarah are amazing. My son has been thriving since switching schools!”

“I had an issue with a deposit and the school admin was quick to reach out and fix the situation. Our experience with the education here was excellent and I'm glad the administration matches in customer care and empathy what their teachers provide in educational standards.”

“Our son has been thriving since he started months ago at Goddard. He has improved in his socialization skills, self help skills, motor skills, communication skills, and more. He runs down the hallway excited to greet his teachers and friends in his classroom. His teachers make him feel so proud of himself when he does well and learns a new skill. Communication between school and home is so amazing. I feel so secure at work that I will be called even when he gets the slightest little bump from tripping and falling. I am entirely confident when I drop my two year old off at Goddard that he will be cared for with similar compassion and diligence that my family would.”

“Both my boys are attend Smaller scholar Montessori academy for the past 3 years and truly this is the best preschool you will ever encounter. From Ms Darling to Ms Tiphanie to Ms Patricia to Ms lily to Ms Lorraine and all the staff have been so kind, attentive and give our kids so much love and care and our kids have advanced so much academically.”

“So incredibly grateful I found PCA!!! After having a horrible experience with another childcare I felt discouraged and scared to place my son in another childcare. I told my husband if this childcare experience was the same I was going to have to quit my job and we'd have to figure it out. From the very first day I dropped my baby boy off it has been a wonderful experience! Ms. Caitlin the director and Ms. Ariane the assistant director are so warm and friendly! Ms. Kim the classroom head teacher is amazing and truly loves the babies! All the staff are amazing and truly love our sweet kiddos! They do so much fun activities with the kids including the infants! They do so many cute little photo shoots and crafts! All the updates and photos are so sweet! My son is so happy when I drop him off and pick him up. My husband's and my schedule very so we pick up at different times each day and no matter what time we pick our son up he is happy and being so well taken care of! I never feel anxious about dropping my son off at PCA and I feel so blessed to have found this gem of a childcare! We plan on keeping our sweet boy at PCA till he goes off to Kindergarten thank you, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart!”

“Love this school! We've been at Primrose for almost two years and will have soon have all three of our kiddos enrolled. The staff is always so kind and genuinely care about each child. We couldn't have been more lucky in finding a spot for our family.”

“Wilkins Learning Center is the best daycare hands down! Everyone is friendly, kind, and loving. We're so greatful to be a part of the Wilkins family! Thank you for your love and kind care for the children!”

“This place has been blessing for our family. The staff is incredibly friendly and is always ready to help.If you are considering this as an option for your child, here's what you should know:- your child will be cared for, truthfully!- your child will have great friendships that they talk about at home- you will be frequently updated about the daily activities your child is participating in (through a helpful app!)- your child will be an environment that is focused on teaching good valuesOn top of these things, we are always in the know on upcoming events or opportunities and we have always found the communication level here VERY professional.Thank you Learning Garden team for the intentional development and care of our little kiddo! You made this the easiest 5-Star review to leave. :) <3”

“We have had a great experience at Light of Christ Christian Academy. Our daughter has been there almost 2 years now (kindergarten and first grade), and she has grown academically and socially far beyond what we imagined. She was very shy entering kindergarten, but she was standing up speaking in front of the class in her first week there – which I think is a testament to both the amazing kindergarten teacher (Ms. LeBlanc truly radiates joy and kindness) and the impact of a small class size (up to 16 kids, but my daughter’s class currently has 7). The first-grade teacher, Mrs. Beauford, is also wonderful; she exudes enthusiasm for teaching and is always finding new ways to engage the kids, whether through new centers or various projects related to their current read-aloud. All the kids in my daughter’s first-grade class are reading at a second-grade level (and some even higher). They’ve finished their math curriculum and are moving into second-grade math. There’s a strong emphasis on writing in first grade, which I think is so important; my daughter was a reluctant writer because she struggled with handwriting, but she now fills her little notebooks with stories on the weekend.The first-graders do specials (art, music, PE, library), morning and afternoon recess, snack and lunch together with the kindergarten class, which allows for more social interaction (and a better game of freeze tag ?). Perhaps the best assessment comes from the parents of the two children who have joined the class this year, coming from other local schools. They have praised the individualized attention that the kids receive at LOCCA and the ability of the teacher to cater to their child’s level, as both of those children are advanced readers.I also am grateful to be able to send my daughter to a Christian school. I never worry about what my daughter might be exposed to in the school library, for example, and I know the adults spending 6 hours a day with her are wonderful influences in her life.”

“We love Line Upon Line. Nikki and Sheri do an amazing job with their students who range in age from 3-6. I fully expected my son to come away knowing his letters, colors, and shapes. What I didn't expect was him to start learning letter sounds, sight words, addition and subtraction! I was blown away with what he was learning. Nikki and Sheri far exceed your normal preschool curriculum. They do a great job learning your child's interest and allowing them to explore and develop in areas they love while still doing lessons in core areas. Hands down recommend them to any and all parents looking for a preschool option for their child. The only downside is for parents needing a full day of coverage. They do not have extended hours as they are not a daycare. But if you can make their hours work for you, do it!”

“We have had our daughter in the infant class for approximately 9 months now and we can say that we are very happy with this daycare facility.The staff are very nice and caring. Additional programs, events, activities create an enjoyable environment and community feel for the children and the families.Would highly recommend due to the level of care they take in looking after each child.”

“Sunrise has been a huge part of my families lives through the past few years. All three of my children have gone here, one of which is currently enrolled before he starts grade school. The staff have become people I look forward to seeing everyday and having small talk with. They love the kids here and have so much fun activities everyday, a lot of which happens to be cool art projects you can cherish forever. I literally have not one bad thing to say about Sunrise Preschool and the staff who keep it amazing. Highly recommend.”

“I love this daycare!!! I never feel worried about dropping my son off as the staff love and care for the children as if they’re their own. I get updates throughout the day on the activity in my son’s class and diaper checks and changes, meal, and nap time updates. It is a little pricey, but for everything my son is learning and will learn, I don’t mind it. The staff is always willing to work with us whenever we may be in a bind financially that would prevent us from paying the tuition in time. All in all, I love this daycare and the staff and so does my son!”

“After reading the negative reviews, I want to state that bullying literally happens at every school. It's inevitable. VVA has been working on building the standards for quality education and providing their students with quality education. the friendships children build at this school have sometimes lasted for several years. The staff genuinely care about the students and work to teach them not only the skills needed for each year, but skills to aide them in their future education. I highly recommend this school.”

“One of my grandsons graduated from Arete Prep; and another one is there now. The teachers, admin, and curriculum at this school are top notch! The kids are taught HOW to think vs WHAT to think. It's so nice to see young people discussing great ideas like truth, beauty, goodness, justice, etc. I highly recommend this school!”

“My son is a current student at Great Start, and we are incredibly happy with the program, the teachers, and the environment. As an Early Childhood professional myself, who has done tremendous amounts of research within the field and runs trainings for programs, I am confident that my son is in an environment where he is learning through play, supported through social-emotional situations, and guided to learn in a developmentally appropriate approach. Great Start is a magical place that allows kids to be kids, while also supporting their growth, and I highly recommend the program.”

“This facility is warm, kind, inviting and yet safe! It gives parents the peace of mind in this day and age that they can safely leave their children in a loving, attentive environment!The director Amanda Rickert was really impressive. She has gathered a staff that is very supportive of one another and they work cohesively as a team. The classrooms are clean and very wellManaged. The children were happy and had many different objects and activities to keep them occupied and engaged!This is definitely a well designed program. Kudos to their director Amanda for such a great, smooth , safe school!”

“Enrolled both my boys for school and this was by far the best school they have ever been in. The teachers are fantastic and go above and beyond for the students. My boys made so many friends and learned a lot the year they went there. Unfortunately, we moved back to Texas and we miss Arizona and the school everyday. There is definitely nothing like it both School and location wise. I was completely satisfied with Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Gummow, they are the true meaning of teachers who care. They will never forget them and the friends they made.SincerelySamantha Olvera”
