Avant Garde Learning Approach 

We believe in a holistic and hands-on learning approach. Because of this, we have implemented a few "extras" that you might not find at other early learning centers. We feel that incorporating practical skills and activities that most children never get exposed to really sets the bar high for learning experiences. ​

Cooking Classes, Baby Yoga, American Sign Language and more! 

Culinary experiences provide practical ways to improve essential skills such as reading, following directions, and measuring. Getting involved in cooking helps your child to develop fine motor skills, eye hand coordination, and even early concepts of math and science. Cooking allows kids to get instant feedback, which helps them learn and grow in self-knowledge. Learning a new skill, such as baking or cooking, is known to help grade school children with healthy self-esteem development.

Avant Garde now offers baby yoga for babies that are six months and older! Yoga poses and stretches for infants aid in digestion, constipation, and relieve gas and colic. Yoga reduces stress for both parents and babies and increases body awareness! 

Avant Garde curriculum also incorporates American Sign Language into every day lesson plans. We believe that this impacts children's minds at a young age, allowing them to learn a new language and to understand the diversity of language.

Avant Garde was born from a desire to provide the very best Preschool and Early Childhood care and education available.

Locally owned and operated, we deliver a custom childcare experience like no other. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, every program and procedure at Avant Garde has been tried and tested before implementation.

We realize and recognize that the best thought out programs are worthless unless they are delivered with love and kindness.

​We are so thankful for each parent who has given us the opportunity to provide quality care and education for their children over the years. ​
