Description: When their doors opened in January 1994, husband and wife, Fred and Marelvi van Reesema promised to provide their community with the highest standard of Early Childhood Education possible. Now, only months away from celebrating Avila Child Care Center's twentieth anniversary, they have kept that promise. With a highly-trained, nurturing staff, Avila Child Care Center continues to be committed to providing a loving educational environment for children.
Embracing the nationally recognized HighScope curriculum, Avila Child Care Center continues to focus on nurturing creative and academic success. Through the use of daily art projects, group activity time, free-play, and courses on Spanish as a second language, Avila Child Care Center is dedicated to fostering well-rounded and independent thinkers.
Family owned and operated, Avila Child Care Center is proudly rooted in the Chelsea Community. Marelvi and Fred's two sons, Frederik and Peter, attended Chelsea Public Schools and both parents were - and remain - actively involved in this community. For years, Marelvi was a member of the Pierce Lake Elementary PTO board, her focus always being on programs engineered to enrich the lives of Chelsea's children. Fred has played a crucial role in the development of the Chelsea Lacrosse program, and currently is the head coach of the newly-founded Beach Middle School Lacrosse team. Avila Child Care Center also offers internship opportunities for high school students interested in pursuing a career in Early Childhood Education through Chelsea High School's Cadet Teaching program.
Avila Child Care Center thrives because of their focus on meeting the needs of each individual child and their families. Once a family chooses to become a part of the Avila family, they become part of a network of caring and committed parents.
