Avenues

The early childhood years are the most important time in the life of a family and the most influential time for children as they start on the road to learning. Children of this age are naturally curious and interested in the world around them. This magical time of extraordinary cognitive, emotional and physical growth, combined with an excellent early childhood program, sets the foundation for later learning and social relationships.
At Avenues, we welcome both children and parents into a community and a partnership with teachers. Starting school for the first time is a big leap for both parents and children. This experience must be a process of establishing trust with parents and teachers so children can become independent as they grow in their confidence to manage the world outside of home. We want children to feel safe to explore a new environment, new materials and new relationships. Children need to feel valued when others listen to them and learn that what they say and do is important and has an effect on others.

When we explain language immersion, we like to say that we don’t teach Chinese or Spanish. Instead, we teach in Chinese or Spanish. During the summer, we just have fun in Chinese or Spanish centered around an awesome theme. Language immersion works best when children love the subject matter, and this summer we’re making it irresistible! We will feature a daily rotation of activities like arts and crafts, storytelling and plenty of movement and free play. We accommodate all levels of knowledge and experience in the target language, and both programs will include an exciting field trip. On the last day, families will be invited to join us to see everything their campers have accomplished. Please note that the nursery program is a half-day program from 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. and campers must be fully toilet-trained and must have experienced separation in the form of a half-day program prior to the start of camp.
