I chose Life School for my daughter as she needed more than what I could provide for her nutrition wise. She came from a wonderful school with great teachers and finding a new school was very hard until I came across Life. Life had the missing piece I was looking for, NUTRITION. Their class sizes are small, which allows each child to obtain dedicated one on one time per day. Children are exposed to a wide variety of learning options through the week. My daughter is thriving at Life, and is not ready to leave when I pick her up. Since we started in January 2023 she has grown her vocabulary exponentially, gained weight and began eating a wider variety of foods. Isla loves visiting the goats on campus and playing in the garden. She is learning where food comes from and a healthy way to incorporate food into her daily routine. The kiddos make the cutest art projects, in addition we receive photos of them making these projects. I highly recommend Life to any parent looking to ensure a strong foundation both in education and nutrition for their child. Furthermore their hours are phenomenal compared to other boutique schools.

This place is amazing! Our son started here when he was about 4 months old, and it was the best decision we ever made. We looked at numerous daycares prior to enrolling, but as soon as we found Life we knew it was the perfect fit.While we love everything about the school, what stood out to us the most were the huge outdoor green spaces for the kids to play, the garden and farm animals, the outdoor class rooms, the organic plant based foods they feed the kids family style, the use of top notch products including diapers and formula, the large infant classroom that provides some separation for kids to nap in one area and play in the other, the amazing loving and kind staff, and the list goes on and on!!!Even in the infant room as the kids have gotten older they have started to feed them together in a little circle. While being the cutest thing in the world, it has also helped our son learn to eat and try new foods by watching the other kids. They introduce the infants to new toys, arts, crafts, sign language, and Spanish songs each week, going far beyond what we would ever have thought of to do at home.Putting your infant in daycare is probably one of the scariest things you have to do as a new working parent, and Life made the transition so easy! The Owner and teachers were, and remain, in constant communication, and send the best updates throughout the day. It's great to know that our son is loved, cared for, and provided an environment to thrive in everyday while we are at work.Thank you Life for creating a sustainable school and community!!

When I think of Life School of Leadership I think of a second home for my son. It is a place that supports and mimics the lifestyle and education goals we have in our home. Its mission to transform the way we teach our little ones and its focus on WHOLE child education is one of the many reasons we enrolled. The vegan food and not having to pack lunches is just an additional perk we love for sure!! :) We love and appreciate all the attention our son receives because the teachers have the time and energy to do so since the classes are small and intimate.My son attended other schools that were highly acclaimed and with amazing reviews that claim to have high standards for the education of their students. However, in just the first few months at Life I have TRULY experienced what that looks like and what that means. With specialized analysis for each individual child every few months the teachers are able to identify where a child is excelling and where they might need a little more attention. THAT'S EDUCATION! one teaching plan can't fit all and they look to change that. We are very satisfied with the level of professionalism we have seen so far from everyone at the school and our son is excited everyday to attend which makes our mornings a breeze! We look forward the years ahead.

We searched many, many schools for our son, and this is definitely the best preschool in Scottsdale that we’ve found! From the healthy organic meals and holistic philosophy to the customized curriculum to the individualized attention from the teachers, our son is thriving. We especially love the social emotional focus and leadership development and from a young age they learn public speaking. Oh, and the outdoor classroom is amazing! We’re so happy this school has opened just in time for our son to begin, and we love the team at LIFE!Highly recommend!

We could not be happier with this school. Every teacher here is phenomenal. This was my son's first time in a formal school setting. He's learned so much in the short time he's been here. We've come to love the place not only because of the teachers, but also the staff. The small student-teacher ratios and customized learning plans gave him the ability to work at his own pace while diving deeper into topics that interest him! The healthy food program is incredible, and I only wish this type of school had existed when I was a kid! From the life skills and character development to the social emotional strength and leadership mindset to the loving, caring teachers. I literally can't say enough about LIFE!!!

I've known Chaya for several years. She is committed to excellence in every area of her life. Over the years Chaya has expressed that the current educational model doesn't help our children succeed once they are out of the school system. Not one to just talk, I've watched Chaya take action and build first the MMA school and now the LIFE school. She's always been deeply committed to pursuing excellence in all areas of her life (physical health, mental health, finances, leadership skills, etc) and now is teaching the next generation these skills. Her approach to children's education is much needed in the world right now. We live in a time where most schools focus on standardized tests rather than important life and leadership skills kids need to succeed. Chaya is focusing on character building, leadership skills, and life skills to bring up the next generation of leaders this world needs. As always her focus is on action not theory. You'll find her students eating healthy lunches from food they helped grow in their school garden. Teaching science along with nutrition and how important it is to eat foods that fuel our bodies. It's a wonderful program. I can't wait to see what else comes out of this school.
