About Us

Our amazing staff here at Avondale Christian Preschool each bring their own unique qualities, experiences, and personalities, but one thing they all have in common is their love of ministering to children through teaching. Teaching each individual child in their own unique style of learning and getting to know their personalities as a person and not as if they are all the same. Each child is unique and should be treated as such. Our teachers strive to do just that, because we understand that not every child was created the same way. We strive to teach children about God and what it means to know and love Him.
