Description: Avondale Children's Center has offered quality care and education for young children and their families since 1988. We are accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and have earned five star rating issued by the state of North Carolina.
The center serves 68 children; 8 representing church families, and the staff is made up of 19, talented, and dedicated professionals. Our annual art walk, fall festival, luau, and medieval ball, brought us together in celebration of early childhood. The children as well as the teachers, continue to look forward to Dr. Earl's special chapel time with the three, four and five year olds.
We are blessed to be an important mission of Avondale Presbyterian Church, and appreciate the contributions of time and talent by members of the Church family. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.
Great Beginnings at Avondale Children's Center.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
