WELCOME TO ADS!
Arcadian (Adj.) "idealized country life"; "a country life of arcadian contentment"; "a pleasant bucolic scene"; "charming in its pastoral setting"; "rustic tranquility"
At Arcadian Day School, we are intent on embodying the Arcadian way of life by incorporating a garden-based theme and creating a calm, peaceful, and aesthetically pleasing place for your children to learn and grow with respect to mind, heart, and body. Our natural, organic focus with garden spaces, fruit trees, chickens and a pet bunny to tend allows children opportunities to take part in the nurturing activities of life. We build upon this innate desire to nurture a healthy, loving relationship within our self, our classroom, and beyond. To learn more, please see our vision, mission, and philosophy of care under About Us!
Our early childhood program includes a multi-age preschool class for children who are 3 to 6 years old. Class runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Full and part-time options are available ( two days a week, three days a week, or five days per week.) In addition, family classes are held quarterly to offer opportunities for our families to get to know each other even better.
(All children must be fully potty-trained prior to beginning preschool. No diapers or pull-ups.)
Welcome to the Arcadian Day School. We welcome you as a family to our school community and look forward to a strong partnership with you.
We are so excited to have our preschool in central Phoenix. We are conveniently located between Arcadia and the Biltmore, just south of the Camelback Corridor.
Arcadian Day School is a small, private preschool in a warm, homelike environment. Our teachers have extensive training and experience in education and human development. See more about them on About Us!
We encourage you to browse our website, call, or email to schedule a visit. We hope it will be the beginning of a rich and rewarding relationship for your whole family.
