At EDUPRIZE, we believe a strong start leads to a strong future. That’s why our early education programs—spanning Pre-K through 2nd grade—are thoughtfully designed to nurture a love of learning, develop foundational skills, and support the social and emotional growth of every student. For families in Gilbert, Queen Creek, and across the East Valley, EDUPRIZE continues to be the school of choice for children just beginning their academic journey.
With hands-on learning, caring educators, and a safe, structured environment, we don’t just teach the basics—we inspire young learners to explore, ask questions, and grow with confidence.
A Holistic Approach to Early Learning
What sets EDUPRIZE apart is our whole-child approach. Our early education classrooms are not just about letters and numbers—they’re about helping students build independence, solve problems, and work with others. Through age-appropriate activities and differentiated instruction, we help each child progress at their own pace.
Key learning areas include:
- Literacy and early reading readiness
- Foundational math concepts
- Scientific observation and exploration
- Social-emotional learning and character development
- Fine and gross motor skills
- Creativity and expression through art and music
By combining academics with play-based learning, we create classrooms that are joyful, engaging, and effective.
Hands-On, Theme-Based Curriculum
Our youngest learners benefit from the same core philosophy that makes EDUPRIZE unique: theme-based, hands-on education. Each quarter, students dive into a new theme that ties together reading, writing, science, math, and art into one meaningful learning journey.
For example, a unit on community helpers might include:
- Reading books about firefighters and doctors
- Counting and graphing tools used in each profession
- Writing thank-you letters to local heroes
- Creating art projects that reflect different community roles
- Participating in a classroom “career day”
This integrated approach keeps students engaged and allows them to see how learning connects to the real world—right from the start.
Certified Teachers Who Truly Care
Every early education classroom at EDUPRIZE is led by certified teachers who are passionate about creating a strong foundation for learning. Our staff not only deliver high-quality instruction but also focus on relationship-building and student support. They recognize the unique needs of early learners and create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, valued, and understood.
Teachers work closely with parents, offering frequent communication, progress updates, and opportunities to be involved in the classroom experience.
Creating Confident, Capable Learners
One of the most important goals of our early education program is to build confidence. When students feel capable and supported, they’re more likely to take risks, ask questions, and persist through challenges.
At EDUPRIZE, we help students:
- Set goals and track their progress
- Celebrate academic and personal growth
- Learn strategies for managing emotions and behavior
- Develop resilience, curiosity, and independence
These early years are when lifelong learning habits take root—and we’re proud to provide the guidance and encouragement that makes that possible.
A Safe, Structured Start
Safety and structure are especially important for young children. At EDUPRIZE, we take that responsibility seriously. Our early education spaces are clean, secure, and purposefully designed for learning and exploration. Each classroom follows consistent routines and clear expectations, which helps students feel safe and supported as they navigate their first school experiences.
We also emphasize kindness, empathy, and inclusion—helping students build strong friendships and positive relationships from day one.
