Arizona DES Certified
What This Means for Your Family
The Son’s Children is proudly certified by the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES). This certification confirms that our center meets state-recognized standards for licensed child care, including safety, staffing, and operational accountability.
For families exploring child care options, DES certification serves as an added layer of assurance. It reflects our commitment to providing a safe, well-regulated, and dependable environment where children are cared for with intention and integrity.
While DES certification allows us to serve families who qualify for child care assistance, its value extends to every family we serve. It represents one of several ways we demonstrate our commitment to quality and trust.
Why DES Certification Matters
Even for Tuition-Based Enrollment
Many families enroll through tuition-based enrollment and do not use child care assistance programs. Even so, DES certification still matters.
This certification means our center:
Meets Arizona’s licensing and care standards
Undergoes ongoing oversight and compliance reviews
Maintains required staff clearances and training
Follows health, safety, and supervision requirements
In other words, DES certification is a stamp of accountability and trust. It confirms that our care practices are not only values-driven, but also externally reviewed and held to recognized standards.
Whether your family enrolls through tuition-based enrollment, explores partial scholarships, or qualifies for assistance programs, our commitment to quality care remains the same.
