The "person" could be the cook, an 18 year old or someone else experienced. Anyone who has children knows it can be done, but at what cost? Unexplained injuries, poor attitude from staff and even unreported injuries. Please know that this facility meets the rules and regulations as outlined by the state, but IS NOT QUALITY CHILDCARE. There is a difference. Please learn from our experiences and bring your children anywhere but here. Don't solely take my advice, see the consensus in the reviews here.

TERRIBLE. This place smells bad, up until recently kids played in pebbles, not a playground (it…read moretook 2+ years to install a proper playground), you pay extra for summer camp to find 5 gallon buckets at the center are "water day", kids come home complaining that there was not enough food at lunch to make them feel full, items are lost or sent home with other children and never returned, and they refuse to make notifications in emergency situations beyond an automated mass text. Behavioral problems are ignored which breeds even more problems. When Jody was directly confronted to discuss a solution to continuous accident reports involving my child being bitten several times a week, there was no accountability or professionalism. She instead became extremely defensive and nasty. She actually said, "I'm sorry you feel that way" when concerns about children's safety were raised. Her solution was to tell me that my 1.5 year old needed to learn self defense. There are no set potty training methods to assist parents. Teachers are there for 5+ years per the website? HAHAHAHA Shoutout to Ms. Shauna, Ms. Maya, Ms. Madison, Ms. Brooke, Mx. Wind-most of whom came and went in the short time my children attended along with DOZENS of other teachers so much that my children didn't even get to know their names. They falsely advertise part time; you can only do it if you find another family to cover the days you do not want your child to attend. At preschool graduation they claim there is no time to call attention to each child individually but there was time to watch a 20 minute video displaying how fantastic and successful the owner is. This was cringy and uncomfortable at best, makes you question why you spend so much on subpar child care at worst. If you only goal is to keep your kids alive while you're at work, this suffices. If you want quality care, go somewhere else. There are some teachers who actually care about the kids and do it for the right reasons, but it's clear the owner does not.

In my opinion Avondale Academy does not offer competitive pay rates. Teachers are significantly…read moreunderpaid. They save money by offering incentives which sacrifices a portion of pay. Management is only invested in protecting their circle. The circle consists of the founding women and unassertive employees who have been there longer than five years. They lead covertly and have a "no gossip policy" teachers are forced to sign, but don't follow themselves. Decisions on my behalf were made by people who never saw me teach. Losing multiple teachers every year is the norm. They cycle through teachers like nobody's business. They sweet talk the new hires and tell them they're really good, when they're struggling and have limited training. I was only paired with young, inexperienced teachers and encouraged to support/guide them without extra compensation. I was told the exact same worded praise as another teacher with zero experience. Teachers were encouraged to share their teaching skills/strategies without compensation. The young new hires were commonly highlighted in newsletters and social media. They play favorites. Incorrect information and poor management communication are commonplace. Every teacher I worked alongside quit. I saw at least nine teachers quit. By burning out and dumping the new hires they can hire new teachers each year at a lower pay rate, protecting their circle, and saving money. There are reasons this preschool has become a multimillion dollar company so quickly. And they're not good. Avondale is good at making money. They use teachers and crush dreams. They crushed mine.

The social environment encourages children to navigate development with children of multiple age ranges which has been shown to increase empathy and growth. The owner has been teaching for a long time and you can tell by the relaxing atmosphere for the kids that's presented.
