Welcome to Central Tucson Preschool

At Leman Academy Central Tucson Preschool, children learn in smaller class sizes with caring teachers and instructional assistants in every classroom. Each child is known, supported and given the attention they need to grow and thrive.

Our structured preschool program blends play and early learning to build language, confidence and kindergarten readiness through stories, music, art, outdoor exploration and hands-on activities.

“Every child deserves to be known, encouraged and challenged to reach their full potential.”
– Dr. Kevin Leman

Preschool vs Daycare: What’s the Difference?

Both preschool and daycare provide a safe, caring environment for young children. The difference is how the day is structured and what children are learning.

Preschool adds:

  • A structured daily routine
  • Teacher-guided activities
  • Learning built into play
  • Preparation for kindergarten

At Leman Academy Preschool, children benefit from both a nurturing environment and a structured approach that helps them grow, learn and build confidence.

Our Approach:
Play-Based, Classical Early Learning

When learning feels like play, children master new skills naturally. Through games, stories, and creative projects, we make learning joyful while nurturing the incredible growth that happens in the preschool years. Our classical early-learning approach introduces children to truth, goodness, and beauty through rich language and stories, music and movement, nature exploration, and early math and science, while helping them care for themselves, others, and their classroom.

  • Language & Literacy: songs, rhymes, read-alouds, vocabulary, print awareness

  • Math Foundations: counting, patterns, shapes, measuring and comparing

  • Science & Nature: observing, questioning, experimenting, outdoor discovery

  • Fine & Gross Motor: writing readiness, art, building, movement and play

  • Habits of Character: attention, responsibility, kindness, perseverance

Our goal is simple: help your child flourish – confident, curious and kind, ready for kindergarten.

Programs, Hours & Daily Rhythm

We’re open 7:00 AM–6:00 PM with flexible scheduling to fit family needs. Choose full-day or half-day options. Every week includes outdoor play, free lunch, quiet rest, and enrichment so children learn and recharge.
