Our Story

It all began with a family

“We believe that every child is a precious, God-given being with basic needs in every facet of life, including the social, physical, emotional, and intellectual components of the self. We will work to instill proper manners and values, including honesty, sharing, respect, and self-worth. It is our purpose to meet those needs when your child is in our care by providing a safe and loving environment.”

Since establishing our first early childhood learning center in 1967, Valley Child Care & Learning Centers has been at the forefront of infant and toddler daycare, preschool, and early childhood education programs in Arizona.

The original mission was to provide tender loving care and education to each child, and not much has changed over the years. As a family, we share the goal of ensuring that your child knows that they are someone special and that we want to help them learn and grow. We expected every employee to be an ambassador of company principles – demonstrating love, integrity, generosity, self-discipline, hard work, and simply treating others as we would like to be treated. The current management team has molded these values into their strategic plans and operating practices, ensuring they shine through in all of our early learning centers. These values are the reason that Valley Child Care & Learning Centers has grown to nearly 400 employees who have cared for nearly 1,900 children every day for the last 50 years.

Supporting families by providing quality childcare you can count on.

At Valley Child Care & Learning Centers, you will see our commitment to high-quality care and education in every facet. Your child will receive the personal support and attention necessary to build trust and confidence. We know that selecting a preschool, daycare, or infant care center can be a challenge for concerned parents, which is why we do our very best to put your mind at ease and assure you that your child is in good hands. The first years of a child’s life are critical to their long-term development, which means choosing an early childhood learning center is one of the most vital decisions parents will make.
