A Play-Based Preschool

IMG_6123.jpeg

Welcome to TCS

Tucson Community School is a child-centered, play-based preschool located in central Tucson, Arizona. For 75 years, we ha​ve created a warm and supportive environment for 2 to 5-year-olds to learn and grow through independent exploration and family participation. 

How We're Different

Established in 1948, Tucson Community School is the city's oldest and only cooperative preschool, and among the few preschools in Southern Arizona to receive a 5 Star rating from Quality First.

We are not just a school for children, but a school for families. At TCS, everyone has a chance to learn and grow, make lifelong connections, and become deeply involved in their child’s early education.

This school is truly a Tucson treasure! The children play with enthusiasm and learn through exploration. Teachers are invested in each child—my kiddo feels completely welcomed, cared for, and inspired to grow. We love the community approach.”
