Phoenix Children's Academy Family of Schools

Phoenix Children’s Academy welcomes you to our growing family of over 100 private preschools,  elementary and middle schools, Christian-based schools and Montessori academies located throughout North America.  While our schools have a variety of different names, each school is passionate about bringing a sense of wonderment to your child’s development.  We believe that our incredible team of teachers will allow your child to associate learning with fun.  For our teachers, working at our school is not a job; it is a calling, a passion to work with children.

We believe the most important part of development and education is the partnership between parents and educators.  We go out of our way to keep our parents in the know and have regularly scheduled conferences to ensure we are in lock-step with the attention and focus each child needs to reach his or her fullest potential.

From President and Founder, Douglas MacKay

We are excited to announce that the Mini-Skool Family of early learning centers has changed its name to Phoenix Children’s Academy.

When the Mini-Skool company was started more than 17 years ago, the industry was much more about child care and had yet to evolve into early childhood education.  We have always prided ourselves on providing a safe, loving and nurturing environment for our children and that will never change.  However, over the past several years we have become more focused than ever on the education of young children.

Also as the Company has matured, we have expanded beyond preschools into private elementary, faith-based and Montessori schools.  With this broadening of our offerings and the evolution of our early childhood curriculum, we felt that it was time to adopt a corporate name that better represented the organization that we have become.  That name is the Phoenix Children’s Academy.

I invite you to learn more about our schools and our dedicated and devoted caregivers and teachers.  I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to welcome you and your children in to our family.
