PARENT TESTIMONIALS

We think our preschool program here at Paradise Valley United Methodist Church Preschool is the best around. But don't take our word for it. Keep reading to find out what some of our current and former parents have to say.

My son started at PVUMC in 2005. My daughter started in 2010. PVUMC is a beautiful start for your child's school experience. I couldn't imagine any place more caring and nurturing of each child. The staff is dedicated and committed to making a positive impact in your child's life. The community at PVUMC preschool is an extended family for life. PVUMC prepared my older son for kindergarten by teaching him social skills and listening skills. He was ready for kindergarten because his preschool teachers taught him about reading, letter sounds, numbers, and writing. The transitions in the class to music or PE helps kids become prepared in kindergarten to move as a class around the campus and not be afraid. The PE teacher and music teacher are such gifts to a preschool. Not every preschool offers these classroom specials, and I'm glad my children had these specials at such a young age.

PVUMC is magical, creative and loving. All of the teachers and staff have taught my kids not only academics but how to play well with other kids, take your turn talking to the teachers, and respect with living around others. PVUMC Pre-school has given both of my daughters not only a fun, nurturing environment but also has has provided the skills necessary to be highly successful from elementary school through high school. No other preschool in town can say they have as many long-term, experienced teachers who are experts in the field of child development. I am so happy with my children's experience here

We will have put three kids through this preschool and have had a wonderful experience year after year. Lifelong friendships have been made both for our children and as a family.

PVUMC is not only a place for our children to grow and learn, but it's also a wonderful community for us as parents to grow as well.

Not only is our child academically prepared for his transition into kindergarten, but PVUMC Preschool has sown the spiritual, emotional, and social seeds to enable him to blossom wherever he is planted! Thank you to all the dedicated and nurturing teachers and staff!
Sincerest appreciation,

As a parent and former early childhood educator, finding the right preschool was important to me. PVUMC continues to exceed my expectations from their high level of academics and professionalism to the variety of after-school activities; all while maintaining their philosophy of "fun" and nurturing the whole child. They really do try to meet the needs of all families involved.
