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.

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.

Program Benefits

Ardent Preschool & Daycare provides children with an early education that builds character and challenges them to grow. We use the Abeka Curriculum to give children the vital building blocks they need to propel them into a successful academic career.

We believe that children thrive when provided with a structured environment. Having a predictable routine helps them understand what to expect throughout the day, allowing them to focus better on their activities.

Ardent was founded on Christian principles. Our goal is to help children gain an understanding of God’s love and to nurture character traits that will guide them throughout their lives. We pray over every meal, and part of our curriculum is scripture memorization.

Children who complete the preschool program at Ardent tend to be set apart from their peers. With advanced math and literacy skills our graduates are more than ready for what they will face in kindergarten.

Community

As daycare providers, we are spending a lot of time with the children in our care, and we want to build a strong bond with the families that trust us with the care of their children. At Ardent, we hope to provide a sense of community between our staff and families. We will always have a warm cup of coffee ready for you at drop off, accompanied by a warm smile when you walk in the door. We also offer a few events throughout the year to give families time to mingle with staff, and other families, to provide a sense of belonging and care.
