Mission
Catalina Foothills Community Schools will unite our schools and community by:
•Providing high-quality services and enrichment that meet the needs and interests of our students and families
•Developing partnerships for sharing resources
•Building a sense of community and belonging through strong relationships
Programs
One of our most successful partnerships serves our district's youngest learners, our preschool-aged children. All of our classroom teachers are certified in Early Childhood Education and our curriculum is child-centered, developmentally-appropriate and aligned with Arizona Early Childhood Standards.
In partnership with our CFSD Special Education Department, Community Schools has developed a model inclusion program to serve young learners with special needs. We believe young children with special needs learn best in an inclusion setting where typically-developing children can model and interact with them.
Valley View Early Learning Center is a place where young children learn and play and celebrate the joys of every day as they develop a love for learning, that will last throughout their lives.

In coordination with the District’s commitment to learning in and for the 21st Century, Community Schools offers programs that expand and give more opportunities for students to practice these skills. The Enrichment Program works to enhance the use of existing resources by developing partnerships between our schools and community.

C.A.R.E.
The Community Schools C.A.R.E. (Children’s Activity and Recreation Environment) Program was named the Best School Age Childcare program in Arizona in 2004. Open to all children enrolled in CFSD elementary schools, C.A.R.E. provides a secure, supervised learning and playing experience that will enhance the quality of the time a child spends away from parents and the school classroom. With small student to staff ratios, dedicated classrooms and buildings, and trained staff, our C.A.R.E. program successfully provides a place for students to develop a strong sense of belonging to an afterschool community. For many children C.A.R.E. becomes their neighborhood where relationships are formed and creative play abounds.

Community Schools Outdoors offers a wide variety of outdoor adventure programming for students of all ages. We offer day trips, weekend trips, overnight excursions and week-long adventures during the school year, holiday breaks and summer camps. We provide challenges that expand horizons and enhance the lives of youth through wilderness education and outdoor exploration. Our nature-based education can be geared towards meeting a wide variety of national or state academic standards. The Outdoor Adventure Program promotes and instills a healthy self-awareness and self-confidence, pushing one’s limits and learning respect for others and the environment.
