We transferred our (at the time) 2.5 year old to Avondale Loving Care (previously called Pink Tower) at the start of summer 2023 and I could not be more glad we did. He has absolutely blossomed in the time since. The teachers are warm, the classrooms are beautiful and clean, and the kids have just the right amount of structure to their day. My son had been struggling with potty training before starting but they were so incredibly supportive while he learned that it took all the stress away for our family and he made a ton of progress with their help. They are also very intentional about building community within the school and we've gotten to know a number of other families this way. I could go on and on but I'll just say I couldn't recommend ALC more highly and we're so excited to send our second kiddo there in January.

I've sent both my boys here and it has absolutely transformed their preschool experiences. This feels like family and there is nowhere else I'd rather entrust my kiddos to. The communication to parents is wonderful, the app and check-in experience is a breeze, the daily photos are something we look forward to looking at together as a family, and most importantly, my kids are happy every day when they come home and are excited to go to school every day :) I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Avondale Loving Care is a magical place! I have 1 child in the younger kid room and 1 in the older kid room. Both have flourished under the teachers and curriculum there. I was nervous moving from an in-home nanny to a daycare, but it has been positive all around. I found myself overstimulated when touring other centers. ALC is clean, beautiful, quiet and playful, I immediately loved it. I especially appreciate their patient handling of my older child's extra sensitive personality. My kids are excited to go there in the morning and don't want to leave at the end of the day, the best advertisement you can get!

Avondale Loving Care school has been a wonderful experience for my child, who attended from age 2-4. The nurturing environment, attentive staff, and well-structured Montessori and play based curriculum provided a strong foundation for my child's development and independence. The teachers are incredibly supportive and loving, creating a space where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. My child always looked forward to going to school, which is a testament to the positive and engaging atmosphere they cultivate. It is such a sweet community that they've created. Additional pros: low staff turnover, very clean environment with high quality materials, all teachers know all of the students and their families, and lots of time outdoors playing and exploring nature. I highly recommend Avondale Loving Care for any parent seeking a warm, caring, safe and fun setting for their little one.

Avondale Loving Care has been a wonderful place for our three year old daughter. We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience our daughter has had at this school for the past two years. From the very first day, the teachers and administrators have shown exceptional dedication and care. They go above and beyond to create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued and supported. If you’re looking for a school that truly invests in your child’s development and well-being, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to any family seeking a warm, caring, and enriching educational experience.

We love Avondale Loving Care!! Our 3 year old comes home everyday telling us how much fun it is to be in her classroom! She has amazed us with how much more confident she is about learning and making friends!! Thank you for all your hard work in supporting our daughter as she develops and grows! We truly appreciate all the teachers and the administration for being patient and understanding as my family and I have been through some tough times and I am so grateful for your support!

We love this place! The teachers and admin are simply the best, caring, supportive and organized. Our oldest attended for 3 years and learned piano, reading, writing, emotional regulation, social skills, and so much more. We are so grateful we sent her here and that our youngest is in such good hands.

We have two children at Avondale Loving Care and couldn’t be happier with our experience. Our kids are thriving and come home happy every day. The teachers are amazing, sweet, and incredibly patient, showing genuine care for each child’s well-being and development. The rooms are so clean and well organized with an inviting, calm atmosphere. There are so many fun stations featuring Montessori and play-themed learning styles. They also offer optional weekly piano lessons on site for an extra charge, which our oldest loves! It’s wonderful to feel like we’re part of a small, supportive community. We love it there- Highly recommend!
