We’ve had the privilege of sending all three of our children to Tempe Christian Preschool over the past 10 years, and we could not be more grateful for the experience. Choosing a preschool can feel overwhelming, but for our family, the decision felt easy. I attended Tempe Christian Preschool as a child and have so many wonderful memories from my own time there. My grandmother was also a staff member, making the school an even more meaningful part of our family’s story.

Watching our children grow, learn, and thrive at TCPS has been a true joy. The teachers are exceptional—caring, dedicated, and genuinely invested in each child’s development. They create an environment where children feel supported, encouraged, and excited to learn.

From the moment you walk through the doors, there is a welcoming atmosphere and a sense of community. The staff greet families with kindness, take the time to build meaningful relationships with the children, and thoughtfully plan engaging, creative activities each day.

More than just a preschool, TCPS has felt like a second home for our family. We are incredibly thankful for the love, care, and strong foundation our children received during their years there. I wholeheartedly recommend Tempe Christian Preschool to any family looking for a nurturing, faith-based learning environment.

We have nothing but the highest praises for Tempe Christian Preschool. From beginning to end, there is nothing but good things to say. 

We had started our kids at another daycare/preschool in the valley and had troubles with the teachers handling issues with care. After searching for a different option, stumbled upon TCPS and couldn't believe we found a great daycare that also teaches our littles the word of God. 

We've sent our 3 youngest kids to TCPS with their ages ranging from 4 months - 5 years during their stay (infants all the way through pre-k) and have had no troubles whatsoever. We've been part of the TCPS family for over 6 years!

All of the staff is so kind, compassionate, engaging and encouraging. They know my kids by name and my 3rd grader still walks in to get hugs from his favorite teachers after all these years when we pick up his younger brother. 

The curriculum is enriching and I've seen my kids grow, develop, and learn at a consistent pace. Not only is the learning curriculum great, they also pray at meal times, have weekly chapel where they sing and learn about Jesus, and the school even has Spanish & computer class for older kids and offers in-school dance & soccer classes (for an additional fee). 

They are happy & willing to accommodate dietary preferences or restrictions, they are willing to utilize the items you bring in for your baby (specific diapers, etc), and work with the Tempe School District when needed for special education purposes. My littlest got approved for speech classes through the District and TCPS has helped him to get on his shuttle bus every morning and off the bus in the afternoon which allows him to have all-day care but also to get the specialized attention he needs to thrive. 

There has never once been a day I have worried about leaving my kids with the absolutely amazing staff at TCPS and I get a little teary eyed knowing we're closing the chapter on our time here as our youngest is about to graduate pre-k. I will happily recommend the school to anyone in the future and we look forward to ongoing visits in the future as our kids grow as you really do start to feel like an extended family. We love TCPS! 

All our best,

Eryn Proctor, mom of 4

I’m writing to thank you for you and your team’s unwavering commitment to my son. As a single mother, raising my son from infancy has been both beautiful and incredibly difficult. There have been so many moments where I’ve felt stretched thin – emotionally, financially, and mentally – trying to be everything he needs while also keeping our lives afloat.

When we became part of Tempe Christian Preschool, something shifted for us.

From the very beginning, the staff showed me a level of kindness and understanding that I will never forget. There were times when finances were tight and I didn’t know how I was going to make things work, and instead of judgment, I was met with compassion, flexibility, and genuine care. Those moments mattered more than I can explain – they didn’t just help us logistically, they helped me breathe again.

My son has also had his own challenges. He’s a wonderful, bright child, but like many young kids, he has struggled at times with behavior, emotional regulation, and navigating social situations. As a single parent, those moments can feel isolating and overwhelming. But the staff here never made us feel like a problem to be solved. Instead, they met my son with patience, consistency, and so much heart.

They took the time to truly understand him – what motivates him, what frustrates him, what helps him feel safe. They worked with me as a partner every step of the way. Their communication has always been open, honest, and supportive. I’ve never felt left in the dark, and I’ve never felt alone in helping my son grow.

What has been the most incredible to witness is how much he has blossomed in their care.

He is excited to go to school. He feels loved. He is learning not just academically, but spiritually, socially and emotionally in ways that I know will shape who he becomes. I’ve watched him build confidence, form friendships, and begin to manage his emotions in ways I once worried might take much longer. He enjoys reciting songs and sharing lessons learned in class and chapel!

The teachers and staff are not only skilled at what they do, they are genuinely kind people. They greet us with smiles, celebrate my son’s progress (big and small), and create a space where he feels like he belongs. As a single parent, that sense of community is everything.

Tempe Christian Preschool has been more than just a school for us – it has been a source of support, stability, and encouragement during some of the most challenging years of my life. They have helped my son grow, and they have helped me feel like I’m not doing this alone.

For that, I will always be grateful.

Sincerely,

Hannah
