Avalon Academy

They need to pay there workers on time. One month and one week with no pay not a good thing.

My son loves it here, he's been in the Infant 2 program for about 4 months now. He was home with me until he was 18 months so I was very nervous about his transitioning to a daycare environment. It took him a bit to stop crying when I dropped him off at first, though I did notice after a couple weeks he would stop crying by the time I got to the front of the building and peeped in the window. They also did their best to help us through the transition process. His teachers are very warm and caring, he has began talking more, saying more words and has become more social in general (he's an observer and a sensitive soul). It is somewhat of a small space, but still plenty room for the little ones to move and play. They also will take shifts when there's a lot of kids (half on the play floor, half snacking in high chairs, etc.) At first it does seem a little stark as the teachers wear scrubs and the walls and floors are all white, but then you notice all the drawings, pictures and fun activities they do. I like to look up each day and find the new art piece my son made. The teachers are always happy to talk with me and communicate how my son's doing, what he's eating, the amount of diapers he uses, etc. There's no outdoor space which kind of stinks, but they keep them active and this is the one daycare that worked with us with our schedule and finances (no big security deposit) as well as being reasonably priced for the area. And the most important thing is I feel he's safe and being well cared for. I would definitely recommend a visit.

To Jayneen - No Sex Offendors work at this school. Go back to the sex offendor map that you reference in your link and review the map legend more carefully. The School appears on the map as a refernce point, not the location of the sex offendor. The person you associate with school lives or has lived nearby. There is nothing to indicate they work at this school.

It's kiddie-prison: infants are kept in high chairs all day, sometimes w/ toys but often enough with nothing whatsoever to do but stare into space. Some of the staff are indifferent, others are decent, and the administrative office is completely incompetent. An inexpensive option but still overpriced by a factor of two for what you get.
