3 Best Preschools in Scottsdale, AZ

Amazing teachers, staff and leadership! We were impacted by the LA fires and Goddard School of Scottsdale welcomed our family to the community with open arms. We felt incredibly grateful to send our 1.5 year old and 3.5 year old. Every day was a happy dropoff and pickup. The school sends several daily pictures and the schedule is very organized along with several extracurricular options like intro to soccer for our 3.5 year old. Scott was fantastic and we received thoughtful updates from teachers on a daily basis. Our 3.5 year old daughter acclimated to the school quickly and our 1.5 year old son started daycare for the first time. Thank you Goddard - wish we had a school this amazing in LA.

School is excellent. Teachers are caring and I feel safe leaving my child there. They’ve done some recent renovations which look great. I love that everyone knows my child’s name. Lots of opportunities for extracurricular activities to sign up for. They do different lessons daily and I enjoy reading the daily reports on what my child has done that day. Definitely recommend.

We just enrolled our 10 month year old and it’s been an awesome experience. Scott and his team of rockstar teachers have made this transition so warm and welcoming. My wife and I would absolutely recommend bringing your children here. We are so happy to be apart of the Goddard family.

Like any mom, I was extremely nervous about enrolling my kiddos in daycare. Feeling all the feels. I toured a handful of places and none felt right until I met Deena and April. Their kindness and passion was immediately clear. The facility itself feels relaxed and fun, and all of the teachers we’ve had have been fantastic. My twins enjoyed their time from diapers to pre-k graduation and even summer camp. Often times when I arrive for pick up, they don’t want to leave. We’ve met great friends and moving on to kindergarten is bittersweet. Time flew by! We will definitely consider coming back to DMA for summer sessions. If I could do it all over again, I’d choose DMA 100% without a doubt. Amazing people who care about kids and love what they do — which makes drop off so much easier knowing your littles are in good hands. Thank you, DMA fam.

My daughter attended DMA for three wonderful years, and as a mom, I'm beyond grateful for the love, care and support she receives every single day. From the very beginning, directors Deena and April, along with all amazing teachers, made us feel welcomed and supported. The entire team creates a nurturing, safe and engaging environment where my daughter could grow, learn, and thrive. Thank you Deena, April, Kathy, and every teacher at DMA. We will always look back on this time with appreciation and happy memories.

I LOVE Developing Minds Academy! The kids' schedule is filled with so many fun activities like Yoga, PE, Music class, Water play (during summer), and more! The teachers are amazing! They are consistently sending updates throughout each day and sharing fun photos. It makes me feel at ease to know my child is learning and growing in a safe space with hands-on care.
