Welcome to Nana’s.24-hour daycare in Glendale & Phoenix — a real preschool, on your family’s hours.
Nana’s Preschool Academy has cared for West Valley families
since 2005, at two locations in the north-west Valley. Family owned, both
buildings licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services.
The grandmother on the logo is the promise: somebody kind, wide awake.
43rd Ave is open 24 hours, Monday to
Saturday — a child can arrive at four in the morning or be collected at
eleven at night, and the room they walk into is staffed either way.
Northern is open 5 AM to midnight. 43rd Ave is closed Sundays and
holidays, so for Sunday care, call Northern.
Most centres in the Valley run six to six; that covers about a third of
the week.

A safe, happy place for your child, day or night.
We are a family-run preschool and daycare in Glendale with two licensed buildings. Babies, toddlers, preschoolers and school-age kids each have their own room, their own teachers and their own routine. Come see the rooms and meet us.
Twelve daylight hours isn’t childcare for a night shift.
The West Valley runs on shift work — hospitals, distribution
centres, hotels, casinos, the airport. Those shifts do not fit inside the hours
a typical daycare keeps, and the gap is somebody’s problem every single
night.
The gap
Most centres keep daylight hours
The standard childcare day runs roughly six to six. A swing shift, an overnight,
a 4am start or a weekend rotation all fall outside it — and the shortfall
lands on family, neighbours, and whoever owes you a favour.
The front of the building — overnight, drop-in, 24/7, in their own signage.
Who it’s for
People who work while the Valley sleeps
Nurses and hospital staff, first responders, warehouse and distribution crews,
hotel and restaurant workers, casino staff, airport and airline workers, students
on night rotations.

What we can say today
Licensed, family owned, since 2005
Two buildings, both licensed childcare centres inspected by the Arizona
Department of Health Services — not informal home sitting. Two decades
with the same family running them.
That gap is the whole reason this place is worth knowing about. 43rd Ave is open 24 hours, Monday to Saturday (closed Sundays and holidays) and Northern 5 AM to midnight — and both licences carry the evening/nighttime and weekend classifications. The hours most centres treat as impossible are the ordinary ones here.

Ages 6 weeks to 12 years — infants through school age.
Nanas Preschool Academy is a childcare center
that offers care from ages 6 weeks to 12 years. Our program has infants thru school
age — 43rd Ave open 24 hours Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays and holidays; Northern 5 AM to midnight.
Night specials run alongside these rates
— call either building for availability and details. Call us for availability and more details! Both buildings close on
holidays.
Night care, in the family’s own words
Life is full of surprises. At Nana’s, we work hard to ensure your childcare
choice is one of the great ones. Day and night availability allows us to offer the best care
and attention to your child both day and night. Our facilities are cleaned and
serviced frequently with the utmost care. We employ full time security guards, as
well as closely monitored surveillance cameras, throughout our entire complex —
ensure your child has a safe and secure facility.
Our extended hours are perfect for: overnight and late work
schedules, date nights, varying work schedules, last minute plans, and much more!
All our childcare plans are flexible and allow you to use your hours at whatever
time is most convenient for you.
Special night time rates begin after 8pm —
drop-ins up to 5 hours, drop-ins up to 10 hours, and the week special, full time,
after 5pm. Call either building for availability and details.
Sunday drop-in is Northern only —
Peoria is closed that day. The two buildings keep different weeks, which is why a single
“we are open Sundays” would be wrong about one of them.

Each cluster above is one caregiver and the children Arizona allows them to be responsible for — 1:5 for infants, 1:6 at one year, 1:8 at two, 1:13 at three, 1:15 for pre-kinder and 1:20 for school age. The rule does not loosen overnight, which is the part most people assume it does.

04What a day is made of
Art, music, dance — and somebody who claps.
Painting, music, dance, dress-up, movement classes. That is the
day a child actually has here, and it is the part no rate table can show.
Art, music, dance and theater run as part of the programme, alongside fitness — the family has described the approach that way for years: an academic programme children reach through exploring those things rather than sitting still for them.

Yes. 43rd Ave is open 24 hours, Monday to Saturday, so a four-in-the-morning drop-off is an ordinary thing there rather than a favour. Northern is open 5 AM to midnight.
Use the calculator above — it quotes the same weekly tuition
charged at the front desk, by age group and schedule, including the 10% sibling
discount on each child after the first. Registration is $75, once. DES child care
assistance is accepted at both locations.
No licensed Arizona centre can offer that, whatever its hours: state
law defines child care as a stay of under 24 hours (A.R.S. 36-881(2)). Care is
scheduled around a shift. full days, part days and overnight, with drop-in days when a schedule changes
Licensed centres. Both buildings hold Arizona Department of Health
Services child care centre licences — CDC-14018 and CDC-12417 — and are
inspected under that programme. Licence status is public record and can be checked on
AZ Care Check.
Yes, at both locations. DES assistance is based on the hours a parent
works. night and weekend hours qualify — both classifications are on both licences Bring your DES paperwork at enrolment and we handle the provider side.
Six weeks to twelve years — 6 weeks to 12 years — in six groups:
infants, one year, two years, three years, pre-kinder and school age.
Most national holidays: New Year’s Day, MLK Day, Easter,
Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Full-time is over 6 hours but not exceeding 10 hours per day;
part-time is anything under 6 hours. Need more than 10 hours? An hourly rate applies
when the centre is notified in advance and management approves.
Call. Hours outside what was approved are billed at $5 per 15
minutes per child, so a heads-up always beats a surprise.
In writing, to the director, for approval — that protects
your slot as much as it protects the roster. Tuition and co-pays are due every
Monday.
Saturday drop-ins are $50 per child.
$40 per child — at Northern, the building that runs Sundays.
$70.
You’ll need to complete an enrollment packet from either
facility with the child’s immunization records — a current immunization
card, complete emergency card, complete application, tuition and signed policy
agreement.
Yes.
Two locations, both in the heart of Glendale. Major cross streets
for Nana’s Academy are 43rd Ave and Peoria, and Nana’s Preschool is on
49th Ave and Northern.
