ADAEL - RIDGE AVENUE CAMPUS

At Affectionately Devoted Academy of Early Learning (ADAEL), our Ridge Avenue campus is a safe and nurturing home away from home for children. Here, we combine love, learning, and community to prepare every child for lifelong success. Families trust us to provide a reliable environment where children are supported academically, socially, and emotionally.

• Conveniently located in the heart of the Ridge Avenue community
• Safe, easy drop-off and pick-up for busy families
• Bright classrooms designed for exploration and growth
• Outdoor play areas that encourage movement and creativity

We meet children where they are and help them blossom into who they are meant to be. Programs at Ridge Avenue include:

• Infants: Gentle care focused on love, safety, and developmental milestones.
• Toddlers: Exploration through play, music, and hands-on discovery.
• Preschool: Building early literacy, math, and problem-solving skills through the Funshine Curriculum.
• Pre-K: Preparing children academically and socially for kindergarten with an emphasis on STEAM, dramatic play, and creativity.

Our curriculum blends structured learning with child-led exploration, giving each child the freedom to learn in their own unique way.

Children thrive when they have structure and freedom to explore. Here’s what a typical day looks like:

• Morning Welcome & Circle Time – Songs, stories, and sharing to start the day together.
• Learning Centers – Dramatic play, art, music, library, and STEAM activities.
• Healthy Meals & Snacks – Nutritious food that fuels little bodies and minds.
• Outdoor Play – Safe playground fun that builds motor skills and friendships.
• Quiet Time & Story Hour – Rest, reflection, and the joy of books.
• Enrichment – Music, movement, and hands-on projects that make learning exciting.

Your child’s well-being is our top priority:

• Secure entry and check-in system
• Strict cleanliness and safety standards
• Nutritious meals and snacks provided daily
• Staff trained in CPR, first aid, and emergency preparedness

The Ridge Avenue campus is deeply rooted in serving families with excellence. We partner with local libraries and organizations to enrich learning beyond the classroom and create opportunities for children to connect with their community.
