About Us
Six years ago, Everly Promise Kirkland, my daughter's second child was born. At that point Everly Promise's sister Lila, was 2 years old and I decided I wanted to relaunch my preschool that I had when my children were young. The following year Promise Preschool opened! I named our school after my granddaughter! Promise preschool has been flourishing for the past 5 years! Two years ago, as my granddaughters were aging out of the preschool, I added the Next-Step Class, our homeschool class for ages 5 and up!
Promise School is a homeschool preschool in Chandler and a homeschool class for your child’s next steps in life. We focus on the heart of a child, encouraging good character while fostering a love for learning! At Promise Preschool we utilize the C.A.P. learning method, which is Christian Academic Play-based Learning. We love to pre-stage imaginary playtime for a fun learning experience. Creative imaginary play is a child's way to better grow and understand the world around them!
Jesus said let the little children come to me for such is the kingdom of heaven! At Promise School your child will come to know Jesus more as we strive to reflect his heart of joy and grace. We will sing and play, read and write, while learning that "sharing is caring" and "a friend loves at all times!" We honor one another while learning the appropriate age related core and extra-curricular academics! Our C.A.P. learning method and honor attitude, coupled with a 6 to 1 maximum student-to-teacher ratio makes Promise Preschool effective, fun and God-centered!

What we Promise:
-
Our promise is to help train up children in the way they should go so they become promises for a better tomorrow!
-
We promise to honor one another. Honor: Treat each other as special, do good and be kind. This definition of honor is repeated to help remind your child of who they are; a child of God, and what they do; reflect His love.
-
Our class size is small as we want to build relationships and be able to do more hands-on activities with each child. Our maximum is six children to one teacher. This makes us effective, fun, and God-centered! We truly believe that the joy of the Lord is our strength and that...
"All of God’s promises are Yes and Amen! "
