Playground review:…read more School's out on spring break so I decided to take my kids to the playground. This playground looked new and really nice. The playscape was large with plenty of slides and ladders. There were basketball courts and a soccer field. There was a big ball pit where a bunch of kids were playing in. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because there was a trash pile on the ground. Also, this is not usually open to the public especially during school hours. Parking was plenty further down in the school's parking lot. Overall a decent play area for the kids right across from the library and school.

I can tell that she LOVED being there - They were like her second family! The staff is very nurturing and engaging with the children - It's a very warm and pleasant learning environment for them. I know she was being well attended to, and she made many friends. The play areas were clean. The teachers were courteous, respectful and very patient with the children. The appearance of the center is not as bright and vibrant, but that did not avert nor disappoint us, especially once we visited the center and got to meet the staff. Nevertheless, they're always working on improving the overall looks of the center. Cosmetic appearances cost money and let's just say that's not something that's on their budget priority list, perhaps.

The Director, Joan Parks, has become a family friend for life. The staff who work with her have been the teachers there for years. This is a team of educators who truly find preschool care and education to be their calling. This team of teachers gets to know each child very well, and they truly love the kids they teach and care for. The program is a wonderful balance of educational play, hands-on exploration, art appreciation, life appreciation, love of cultures from all over the world. My son still remembers all the steps in the water cycle. He still remembers how they taught him about animals and nature. By the time he was headed for kindergarten, he was beginning to sound out short words. Although there is an academic component, it's not imposed on the kids, and they're truly taught at their own pace and interest level. We are still friends with the families who were part of the ANS community when my son was there, and he is still good friends with some of the children from his time at ANS. Truly, you could not dream up a better environment for your child. I can't say enough about Avon Nursery School and its staff. It's a very special place.

We've watched our son blossom under their care, supervision and gentle direction. Art, play, music, special guests and performers - every day is a new learning adventure that our son excitedly talks about when we pick him up from school. Other pluses = There is a full kitchen and the kids and teachers often prepare food together, the playground is fully contained but in a relaxed, wooded environment, the school is right off of the bike trail, close to the Canton library and downtown Collinsville, and Mrs. Doran (one of the teachers) is a gifted puppeteer. She won our hearts immediately, along with the other wonderful faculty, who are highly educated and LOVE working with this age group (3s and 4s). The open house happens twice a year, but you can always call to schedule a visit. Their summer camp is great, too! We truly will be sad to say goodbye when our son graduates from the 4s program at Trinity Nursery School.
