Peoria Unified Community Education

Funded by First Things First AZ, the Peoria Unified Family Resource Center provides information, resources, referrals and group-based Parenting Activities for families with children ages 0-5 and their siblings. We also provide parenting education workshops, parent support and social connection opportunities, and community events. Our goal is to ensure parents have access to information, resources, and services in a convenient location to support their children--helping them to enter school ready to succeed.

For the 2025 summer, EdCamp will be hosted at Desert Valley, Foothills and Frontier elementary schools. Space is very limited and contracts are accepted in the order they are received. The Peoria Unified School District is proud to offer the KidZone program, our innovative before and after school care program. Through this program, K-8 students are able to learn and interact in a safe, caring environment. The KidZone Mission is to provide a physically and emotionally safe environment where children can participate in engaging activities and build positive relationships. KidZone Fees can be found on our homepage. EdCamp is a program offered when school is not in session and is available during Fall Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, the September 2nd Non-School Day, and the October 14th & 15th Non-School Days. If you would like to enroll for EdCamp only, please register for "Non-School Days". KidZone is currently available in the following Peoria Unified elementary schools: Canyon, Copperwood, Desert Valley, Frontier, Heritage, Marshall Ranch and Sahuaro Ranch. Transportation is available for Foothills and Pioneer students to attend KidZone at Canyon Elementary School.

Each day, your child will spend time becoming familiar with the Kindergarten classroom setting and practicing classroom routines. Students will visit different areas of the campus like the library, cafeteria and playground. Students will receive a daily snack and socialize with other students to help alleviate any anxiety they might experience on their first day of school.  Note: There is no nurse on site during Kinder Camp. Medicines will not be kept or administered.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, Apache will no longer be hosting 2020 Kinder Camp. If you would still like your child to attend, please select an alternative location. We apologize for any inconvenience.
