Staff Qualifications

The Avon Children's Center was established to provide a high quality childcare service.  Children who develop good social skills project a positive self image.  Our program emphasizes development of peer relationships, cooperation and the importance of learning through play.  The schools goal is to advance child development.  The program promotes a child’s self control, creative expression, cognitive skills, language and physical confidence through that inherent love for learning.

Philosophy & Goals

Family Childcare Providers

 

Avon Children’s Center is a licensed group care program offering experiences in growth and development for children ages 2.9 through 7 years of age.  We suggest that younger children or those in toilet training would have their needs better met in a smaller setting.  The following programs represent licensed family care providers that specialize in working with a small number of younger children including infants and toddlers.  Avon Children’s Center is proud to have these outstanding programs as a resource for parents requiring care for their young.
