About Phoenix Children’s Academy Private Preschool in Gilbert
Welcome to Phoenix Children’s Academy Private Preschool, Chandler Heights!

Our teachers introduce new skills in diverse subject areas such as Literacy, Technology, Physical Fitness, Creative Expression, and Kind Child each month. Our goal is to create well-rounded students who are confident and ready to succeed in elementary school.

We are located right next to the Fry’s Marketplace shopping plaza and close to Chandler Heights Elementary and the Barney Family Sports Complex, making morning drop-offs and quick grocery runs seamless.
Our convenient location surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods like Power Ranch and Seville provides easy access to the Loop 202 and Pecos Road business corridor for busy parents heading into Gilbert, Chandler, or Queen Creek.
Kind Child Program
Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.
Ascend Curriculum
Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!
