About us
Avenue Preschool has been providing high quality early childhood education for children in the surrounding community since 1967. We are a non-denominational preschool, but many of our families attend Avenue United Methodist Church, as we are located in their education wing.
Avenue Preschool proudly participates in our state's Quality Improvement System for early education programs, formerly known as Delaware Stars. This is administered by the Delaware Department of Education.
Programs
We serve approximately 100 children ages 3-5 years old.
Our regular program year takes place from September through May and is comprised of 1/2 day classes. We also offer "Lunch Bunch" extended days and 1/2 day Summer Camp options for our students.
Our Pre-K program is for children who turn four by August 31st of the school year and who will enter Kindergarten the following school year. The Pre-K program offers classes five, four, three or two days per week from 9:00-12:00.
The Beginners program is for children who turn three by August 31st of the school year. The Beginners program offers classes three or two days per week from 9:00-12:00.
