I cant say enough great things about this preschool. My eldest attended scottsdale since she was 2 months old and now my youngest currently attends. The staff is always professional and kind and the owners are amazing. Roy and Jennifer care about the kids and are always willing to help out any way they can. I know that my girls are in good hands at Scottsdale. This is the best preschool hands down.

My 4yo and 1yo daughters attend this daycare and our family loves it! The employees are kind and eager to teach a curriculum that challenges the children. The facility is very clean. The owners are very nice and are frequently seen at the daycare. Scottsdale is our extended family. I would definitely recommend!

My oldest son just graduated from Scottsdale and passed his last Vpk assessment with 100%, he continuously comes home excited from school and absolutely misses being there during the weekends! We now have our youngest there because no where could top Scottsdale in our families book! The teachers are amazing and they always keep you informed about what is going on at school so you can ask your child and keep their excitement!

This school is absolutely amazing. My daughter is a part-time VPK student and they have truly made her feel special. My family is not religious, and it was difficult finding a program that would not have any religious undertones, or overtones to her education. Scottsdale does not. They seem to be focused on education, not indoctrination. And they do a superb job with it. The amount of knowledge they impart on her is astounding. We have tried to raise her to be kind and empathetic, andwere worried about the affect being around other kids would have on that, but she has only gotten more so in her time there.

My son is in VPK with Mrs.Donna. Mrs. Donna is amazing and the best VPK teacher that anyone could ask for! Director Rachel, assistant director Claire are absolutely amazing! My son has been at Scottsdale for 3 years and we have had no issues! Scottsdale on Mahan is the absolute best and ALL of the staff members are great to have as teachers!

We have loved being a part of the Scottsdale Family. My children have excelled in their care and I know that they are well cared for, protected and enriched every day. Cant think of anywhere else I would want them to be!

Thank you to all the teachers, staff, and administration. We have had a wonderful experience in our childs time with Scottsdale since October of 2013. We look forward to continuing with Scottsdale for our other childrens preschool needs. We appreciate the experience we had interacting as well as all that she has learned to prepare her academically and socially for kindergarten. Excellent communication with parents regarding childs progress, behaviors, changes to the school and staff, and so much more.

We do no recommend this daycare at all. The management (aka owners) are only in the business for money. I had heard enough bad things about the owners from friends who had had bitter experiences but against my better judgement I went with them for convenience of location. I thought the owner should have little or minimal impact in the big picture but I was so wrong. The teachers and the front staff were clearly impacted by their money-oriented vision and small mindedness.They once pulled me out from the middle of my office meeting even though it had nothing to do with my kids. I told her I could discuss it in the evening but the owner made such a fuss about how important the matter was that I was left with no choice. Of course I had to go as my children go there and that is something I take very seriously. My husband and I reach there, only to find out that the whole hue and cry was because the owner was told that my husband was rude to the office staff. They said the office staff were intimidated by him....the father whom they see every single day drop his kids to the day care. When I gave them a piece of my mind, the owner realized how foolishly she had acted. They apologized a few times and that is the day I should have taken my kids out of there. We had to go through such a turmoil that day for an absolutely pointless thing.We decided to give them another chance just because we are such believers in good faith. After a few months, we decided to pull the kids out from there as we were traveling and we wanted to take the kids elsewhere. I was late by a week in informing them - they need a written notice and wont have it any other way. They wanted us to pay them for a whole extra month. As our written notice was only 1 week delayed and we had two kids going there, that amount seemed insane. I tried talking to the owner to see if they will come to a middle ground that wouldnt bother us so much and would help them with their costs too. But they dint budge and just because they had a written agreement from us, they dragged us to the court.We ended up paying them as money is not more important to us than our peace of mind.What I feel most cheated about is the fact that they failed us on a bonding-relationship that one forms over years. I would have loved to take the kids back to the place where they first started but I will never take them to Scottsdale as the memory of it only brings unpleasantness. They are only about money and not children.

As a parent that has has both of his children go to Scottsdale i can honestly say I could not have been more pleased with my experience! Roy, Jen and the entire staff go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and like part of a family.

My family has been a part of the Scottsdale family for more than 9 years...and we wouldnt have it any other way. Over the years, our boys have been loved on, cared for and nourished with meaningful, yet fun education by each teacher along their preschool path. Our time with Scottsdale has come to an end as the youngest G crew member recently graduated VPK. We will truly miss the smiling faces of the fabulous administration, as well as the pleasant environment of the facility and the top-notch care provided. Our family is soooo thankful for our Scottsdale Academy family. 💜💙💚💛

Our family had tried other daycares previously, but once we found Scottsdale Academy, we knew we had found the perfect environment for children to learn and grow. My kids love their teachers, the owners are amazing, and it is a relief to leave my children there knowing that they are safe and being well cared for. My five year old has learned his numbers, letters, letter sounds, and has started basic sounding out words all while in VPK and he is always excited to tell me about his day at school. Thank you Scottsdale Academy and staff!
