Community Extension Programs, Inc.

"My daughter has attended CEP programs from the age of three in pre-school up to second grade. What a wonderful, caring group of people. They have been a blessing for my family...."

"This place is a joke when it comes to documenting concerns with your children. They will heavily cover their tracks and if you are ignorant to regulations they will totally take advantage of you. Please look up complaints against program and substantiated events that they were cited for. Very concerning incidents!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure you have a paper trail or they will deny deny deny like liars. Do not trust your kids here or your child might not end up with a lunch and no documentation on their end on a piece of paper to use. Be careful!"

"The best!! CEP has been a wonderful resource for me as a working parent. Caring, kind, communicative. Always there for our family!!"

"I am so happy that I have the services with Community Extension Program (CEP) available for my family! I have a 6 year old who loves the before and after care at Copper Creek. I also have two step-children who are not currently enrolled with CEP due to attending a school in a small town without this program available. Anyways, my step-children go with me to pick up my 6 year old every Friday and they always ask me when they can go to this school and go to this program. My older step-child went with me one time and they let her get a snack with my daughter and ever since she's wanted to go to Copper Creek Elementary. So I started doing some research on the school that my step-children attend and Copper Creek and my husband is working on going through court to ask to change the kids’ school to Copper Creek. So because of the pending court case, I started researching CEP. Did you know that in 2015, out of 110,000 votes in Tucson, CEP was rated Tucson’s Best Babysitting/Childcare and Best Daycare? And in 2016, out of 183,000 votes, CEP got three awards including: Best Afterschool Program, Best Babysitting/Childcare, and Best Daycare/Preschool? I certainly did not know this prior to my research. However, I'm not surprised! I work a lot and this program has given me the ability to not only make it to work on time but it is also affordable so I can work on my step-children also attending this program and not be having a mini-heart attack trying to figure out how I'm going to afford all 3 children going to after-care. I love that this program is available on site, I don't have to worry about my child missing any sort of transportation to/from school or about anything else happening. My child is dropped off with CEP, she can go to breakfast in the cafeteria if she chooses, or not. And after school, she goes to the same classroom that I dropped her off in and I simply sign her out and go. It's stress free! There are not many things in my life that are stress-free and this is most greatly appreciated not worrying about the safety of my child!! It's hassle free, it's everything I could possibly want from a before/aftercare program! Thank you so much for being available to my family!"

"I have had both of my children in this wonderful program and have been so impressed by the instructors and teaching philosophy. The teachers are kind, creative, loving and full of knowledge. I recommend to anyone I talk to looking for an excellent preschool. This program has my upmost confidence that my child is safe and well taken care of during the day."
