ACE Preschool Program Overview
The Avondale Elementary School District ACE Preschool Program provides a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children ages 3–5 can learn, grow, and explore. Children who are 3, 4, or 5 years old and not yet enrolled in kindergarten are eligible to participate in the program.
Our dedicated staff work together to support each child’s development through hands-on learning, discovery, and play. The ACE Preschool Program offers high-quality child development services designed to meet the individual needs of every child through a strong partnership between staff, families, and the school community.
Our preschool classrooms provide a literacy-rich, well-balanced environment that combines academic learning with play-based experiences. This approach encourages the physical, social, emotional, creative, and cognitive development of every child.
Through developmentally appropriate activities, our program aims to:
• Encourage self-esteem and self-reliance

• Develop self-control and responsibility
• Teach problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Encourage appropriate interactions with peers and adults
• Respect and celebrate the cultural values and backgrounds of families
