Premier Children's Center
Welcome to Our School
Premier Children’s Center has been providing personalized child care since 1999. We are dedicated to providing early childcare and education services for children aged 6 weeks to 12 years in Phoenix, Arizona. Our mission is to “change the world, one child at a time,” emphasizing the importance of the early years in setting a foundation for lifelong success.
We recognize that parents are the first and most important teachers in children’s lives, and it is our role to support them. Our nurturing environment inspires curiosity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning. We apply and model The Golden Rule by treating others the way we want to be treated, always showing respect, kindness, empathy, and civility. Everyone who walks through our doors is valued and accepted. We embrace diversity and differences as they make our program stronger. We build children’s character by teaching them our 3 R’s: Respect, Responsibility, and Reverence. The health and safety of children is at the foundation of everything we do.
Our experienced staff, many of whom have been with us for over two decades, are committed to treating each child with the same care and attention as their own. We offer a range of programs, including preschool alternatives and before-and-after school care, all designed to meet the unique needs of each child. As a member of the Quality First Program and the Arizona Child Care Association, we adhere to high standards of early childhood education.
Join the Premier Children’s Center family, where your child’s growth, safety, and happiness are our top priorities. We look forward to partnering with you to support your child’s development and learning journey.
What People Say About Us
Destiny York
Center Director
Meet Our Director
Hello! My name is Destiny, and I am the proud director of Premier Children’s Center. Since
taking on the director role in 2015, I have been passionate about creating a nurturing and
educational environment where young children can thrive. My journey with Premier Children’s
Center began in 2003, giving me over two decades of experience contributing to the center’s
growth and commitment to excellence in child development.
On a personal note, my own two children grew from thriving infants to a successful teen and
adult within the Premier Children’s Center community, making the center an integral part of my
family’s story.
In 2013, I completed my Early Childhood Education (ECE) certificate, and I continue to expand
my knowledge through ongoing college courses. At Premier Children’s Center, I am dedicated
to ensuring that every child receives the care, encouragement, and guidance needed to reach
their full potential.
All Meals Are Provided
We are proud to be part of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). We provide breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack times throughout the day and meals are included in tuition to make sure every child has access to them. We believe that providing nutritious meals helps children have more energy for learning and gives them the fuel they need to succeed in life.
Programs
We want children as early as possible to appreciate the importance of reaching out beyond themselves and into the community. Small Miracles schools offer a range of programs for children 6 weeks to 12 years.
Infant Program
At Small Miracles, we know that a baby's growth and development depends on individualized care and experiences. That is why we make it our focus to meet the needs of each infant. To do so, we provide our staff of caregiver educators with the tools they need to develop strong connections and trust with each baby they interact with. This trust allows the little ones to feel secure and confident enough to take part in play as well as early childhood learning activities. We are committed to providing this supportive environment, ensuring that your baby gets the best start possible.
Toddler Program
We understand that the transition to toddlerhood can be a tumultuous one. Every child is unique and has their own needs and wants that must be respected during this challenging time. With our experienced teachers, we strive to craft an environment where children can explore, learn, and make progress with self-reliance. As with all of our classrooms, we attempt to control the environment, not the little people in it. When our teachers fill the classroom with wonder and awe, children focus on reading, dancing, singing, painting, playing and so much more!
Preschool Program
This is another step on the journey of life. While want to prepare children to be successful in school, we know they will be if we take great advantage of the time we have together. Instead of pushing developmentally inappropriate lessons and activities on our children, our teachers work to plan for each child’s needs - whether they are learning to hold a pencil, write their name, learn conflict resolution skills and so much more. We know that children who experience child centered environments perform better in elementary school and in life. This confidence pushed us to offer the very best.
Before & After-School Program
A great way to keep your kids active and learning outside of school hours. Parents can take advantage of our before & after-school program and give their kids an engaging experience outside of the classroom. From exploring the creative arts, to playing spirited sports, to getting that much-needed homework help, there's something for everyone. Plus, we provide the convenience of transportation to and from schools, so parents don't have to worry about a hectic schedule. Transportation is provided to and from local schools and our classrooms are open all day on school holidays.
