Cross Roads Preschool has been serving the north central valley for 45 years. We are licensed and regulated by the State of Arizona Department of Health Services. In addition, Cross Roads is also accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC ). These two regulating bodies establish and oversee the compliance of a myriad of safety and educational standards based on research focusing on the development and education of young children. Our staff averages over 5 years with the preschool which means a stable, quality, learning environment. Our Director, Debbie Prenovost, has been with Cross Roads for 23 years including the time spent as her children attended the preschool. Mrs. Prenovost taught in the classroom for 11 years and became the Director in 2003. Our teachers each have experience working with young children and are trained in the most current early childhood educational practices. Each classroom is staffed with two teachers and our youngest children (Mini's ) also have an aide. All staff members are First Aid and CPR certified and have a fingerprint clearance card as required by the Department of Health Services. The Arizona Early Childhood Education Standards provide the curricular framework for the Cross Roads Preschool curriculum. These standards are based on research demonstrating an understanding of how young children develop and learn. The curriculum supports learning across both developmental and academic content areas. Each area has specific, measurable goals that are linked to early learning standards as well as future learning. Within the curricular framework, a theme-based model is incorporated. These learning units are appropriate to the developmental level of the various age groups and allow for flexibility and adaptation by the classroom teachers to accommodate children's interests, family cultures and needs. Basic and extended objectives are determined to correspond with the themes. This method provides for a sequential and progressive learning experience for each child.
