A Welcome and An Introduction

Hello, welcome to our SandBlog about our preschool and early childhood learning center, The Sandbox in Tucson, Arizona. We have been in business for twenty-eight years.

We are located at 2701 N. Swan Road. We are two blocks north of Grant Road, near the Crossroads Festival Shopping Center, near TMC. We are convenient to families in the Foothills area.

from our December Nutcracker Holiday Party Play,
put on by the Big Kids from the Clubhouse.

We are N.A.E.Y.C. accredited and that's not easy to attain. We now accept infants and children up to 8 years of age.


We have the pre-school (1 to 5 year olds) and also a separate facility on the property called the Big Kids' Clubhouse ( with after school van pick up at some schools in our immediate area).

The Sandbox has a preschool curriculum, music and art rooms, multiple playgrounds and computers and fun !!! We have a rock climbing wall and two swimming pools for the summer.

We have full time and part time scheduling, Summer Programs and field trips. Come see our school and get a tour. The best time to tour is usually 9 a.m. because by then classes have begun and children are not lunching (very busy staff) or napping (very quiet rooms) yet.

My name is Robin Stirling, my husband and I own the school. I would love to meet you and your family.

Stop by with the children. We are the warm orange and green adobe buildings that look like a lovely bed and breakfast between San Carlos Place and Glenn on the west side of Swan.

Or call us for information on rates and if you have any questions at 520-795-9595.
