Unfortunately, the Department of Economic Security failed to follow through with the planned release of the Waiting List on November 16th.  As a result, children cannot access child care, parents cannot accept jobs and providers continue to struggle with declining enrollments.  The ACCA has determined through their contact with families and providers that children are being placed in unsafe, unregulated facilities or with unqualified child care providers.  Visit the ACCA for details, http://www.azcca.org 

October marks the start of our 8th year sharing the teachings and wisdom of Dr. Maria Montessori.  We are very proud of our commitment to the Montessori Method and we look forward to many more years of sharing this wonderful educational method.   We hope that you choose to enrich your child's life with this progressive yet time-tested style of education.  Our environment welcomes all children from all backgrounds as we pursue our goal of "Montessori for all".
