About the Provider
Avenue Preschool has been providing high quality Early Childhood Education since 1967. We are a non-denominational preschool, but many of our families attend Avenue United Methodist Church, as we are located in their education wings. Proudly, we have a five-star rating with the Delaware Stars quality rating system.
