The AVCS Preschool Program provides a safe and nurturing environment for your child to grow intellectually, spiritually, and socially. Games, arts and crafts, and other fun activities are used to build learning and social skills along with a basic knowledge foundation to help prepare them for elementary school. Biblical knowledge and principles are integrated within the program for each year of the preschool program. Reduced class sizes provide more individual attention for an enhanced and rewarding learning experience for each child.
