Helping Kids Thrive Through Play, Connection, and Confidence
A play-based microschool in the Scottsdale/Phoenix area for ages 4–6. We blend hands-on learning with real social skill development so your child is ready for Kindergarten and beyond.
Why Choose LaunchKids Academy?
We believe every child deserves a joyful, meaningful education. One that celebrates their unique strengths while giving them the tools to thrive in school and life.
At LaunchKids Academy, we use play-based learning and real-world social skills to help children grow in confidence, communication, and connection. Our small-group setting allows us to meet kids where they are and build them up from there.
This isn’t just school. It’s a place where kids are seen, celebrated, and prepared for the world ahead.
What Makes Our Program Different

Built to support children with and without developmental differences. We honor each child’s strengths and needs with compassion, structure, and flexibility.
