Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Valley View Early Learning Center!

Valley View ELC provides the highest quality early learning experiences for children ages 2 ½ - 5 years old. Our program is designed to promote and enhance the growth and development of all children. These very important early years promise to be ones filled with discovery and joy as your child works and plays in an environment that is nurturing and challenging. Current research has shown that the best way for a child’s brain to learn is through discovery, exploration and long blocks of play.

Our inclusive program utilizes an emergent curriculum built on the natural interests and curiosities of the children. Teaching teams intentionally design learning experiences to support social/emotional, cognitive and physical development that are aligned with Arizona Early Childhood Standards as well as with the standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

All of Valley View’s teachers are certified with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree and an Early Childhood Education endorsement. All teachers have at least one Educational Assistant (EA) making our ratios a maximum of 1:9 in the classroom and on the playground. VVELC also offers Spanish and Chinese Immersion classrooms taught by native speakers.

We invite your family to visit us and learn about how we play to learn. For more information, please call to schedule a personal tour at 520.209.7650.

Come play with us!
