Hear our students share what it means to
"Love Your Neighbor!"
We provide a play-based, child-focused, Christ-centered preschool program. The primary focus of Desert Christian’s preschool program is for your child to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ while developing an academic foundation for the elementary years ahead. We provide an exploratory, investigative, sensory-rich learning environment that is essential in fostering your child’s desire to learn. Developing a close teacher-student relationship within a joyful Christian setting is extremely important to us.
Desert Christian Preschool welcomes children ages three to five years. We offer a traditional morning program as well as a bilingual full day program. Our biblically integrated curriculum includes alphabet recognition, phonics, pre-reading, numbers, music, story time, scripture memorization, science, art exploration, and many hands-on activities both indoors and outdoors. Desert Christian Preschool is licensed by the State of Arizona.
Tuition Tax Credits
At Desert Christian Schools (DCS), we know for a fact that School Choice would be practically impossible without the help of the Arizona Tax Credit Program. Historically 75% of our students received some form of tax credit scholarship funding. Tax credit scholarships fully funded 30% of those students! Plain and simple, the Arizona Tax Credit Program makes private, Christian education more affordable. DCS is truly blessed to have such a wonderful partnership with the many different School Tuition Organizations in our state, and we are thankful for their incredible work in promoting School Choice.
Here are a few links to our two most used School Tuition Organizations, to the Department of Revenue's entire list of STO's, and to information about the Empowerment Scholarship Account Program.
