School already started and your 4 or 5 year old isn't enrolled anywhere? It's not too late. ⏰
Kids join our pre-K classrooms year-round — and a late start beats no start every time. Our Learning Beyond Paper curriculum meets your child where they are and builds from there.
Spots open now. Enroll this week and be settled by Monday.

First day of preschool coming? Read this. 🎒💛
How to make drop-off easier (from teachers who've done thousands):
1️⃣ Visit before the first day — familiarity kills fear (tours count!)
2️⃣ Keep goodbye short, warm, and confident
3️⃣ Same phrase every day: "I always come back."
4️⃣ Let them bring one small comfort item
5️⃣ The tears usually stop 90 seconds after you leave. Promise.
Starting somewhere new this fall? We still have spots — and our teachers are drop-off experts. 📞 602-866-1815

Saturday, 6:30 AM. Doors open. ☕
Somebody has to work weekends — nurses, retail heroes, first responders, small-business owners. When you do, we're here: full Saturday care, 6:30 AM-5:30 PM, same warm teachers.
North Phoenix families have counted on it since 1978.

Meet the heart of Susie's Mama Bear: our teachers. 💛
Warm, experienced teachers are why families have trusted us since 1978 — and why kids run INTO school in the morning. Every name learned, every craft held up, every "look what I made!" starts with them.

Kindergarten Readiness Checklist — Arizona edition 🎒 (SAVE + SHARE)
Before kindergarten, most AZ schools hope your child can:
☐ Recognize their name in print
☐ Count to 10+
☐ Hold a pencil & scissors
☐ Follow 2-step directions
☐ Manage bathroom independently
☐ Separate from parents without tears (mostly 😅)
☐ Take turns and share
Every one of these is built into our daily curriculum for 3s, 4s, and 5s. If your child needs a boost before school starts — that's literally our job.

Made by very small hands. 🎨
This week's masterpieces from our preschool artists. Every project builds fine-motor skills, focus, and pride — and every fridge in North Phoenix gets a little more colorful.

Yes — we accept DES Child Care Assistance. And we make it simple. 💛
If your family qualifies for Arizona DES help with childcare costs, Susie's Mama Bear makes enrollment fast and easy — we handle the paperwork side with you, not against you. We also accept First Things First scholarships.
Quality preschool since 1978 shouldn't depend on your paycheck.
📞 Call 602-866-1815 and ask about DES enrollment — we'll walk you through it.
