Award Winning Daycare
Hear What Parents Have to Say
13 Age Appropriate Class Rooms
Each of our classrooms are purposefully designed to support the developmental needs of a specific age group. With age-appropriate toys, hands-on activities, and DHR-compliant setups, we create a safe and engaging environment that helps children reach important milestones.
4 Age Appropriate Outdoor Play Areas
Our four outdoor play areas are thoughtfully designed for specific age groups, each equipped with developmentally appropriate structures and a safe pour-in-place rubber surface. Ardent believes outdoor play supports physical development and gives children a safe, fun way to enjoy the fresh air.
Splash Pad
Our splash pad is a favorite summer feature at Ardent Preschool & Daycare! This unique outdoor space gives children a fun and safe way to cool off, play, and make memories with friends. Designed with age-appropriate water features and safety in mind, it’s the perfect way to add extra excitement to warm-weather days.
Safe & Secure Facility
At Ardent, your child’s safety is our top priority. Our Valleydale campus features a state-of-the-art security system, including a secure entry code, biometric fingerprint scan, and a second interior door code. Security cameras monitor all classrooms and common areas to ensure a safe, protected environment every day.
State of the Art Facilities
We pride ourselves in offering our families a beautiful, clean and spacious facility. Our building is designed to provide plenty of natural lighting. We want families to feel at home as soon as they walk in the building.
