Avalon Academy

The best place in Houston to start your little one off!!!

We have been so pleased with Avalon Academy. We chose the facility because it is incredibly convenient for us and as new parents were nervous for our little one to start day care at 3 months old and wanted to be close by. The classroom staff is amazing and loving and honestly very helpful for new parents answering questions and giving tips on things like starting solid foods and reaching other developmental milestones. I am sure they’ve seen it ALL as far as babies go and since this is my first it is really reassuring to talk with the «pros» each day about behaviors, eating and sleeping patterns, etc.
The new director has really been doing a terrific job connecting with parents, brightening up the facilities and as I see her daily interacting with the kids or working to improve the facility I can tell she isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty and work hard to make Avalon all that it can be. I get a good feeling when I drop off my child at Avalon and he smiles when he sees his teachers and friends — I think that says a lot!

We did not have a good experience at Avalon. The teachers were nice, but all other aspects of the daycare were subpar. Gates were left open, handicapped parking spots taken by administrators, nobody in the lobby to check visitors, unexplained financial mistakes and poor management. Cannot recommend, despite somewhat lower tuition.

Avalon academy is a over priced scam of a school with un professional business practices. Recently the director and treasurer were both lead off campus by police for stealing the cash they made you pay with. (they would give you excuses for not taking checks or other certified funds) Now under new management tuition has increased by 15% and they have upgraded exactly 0%. The part that really PO’s me is the continuing policy of late fees, If the 1^st of the month falls on a saturday or sunday then you must pay before the 1^st. I own 3 businesses and over my career I have never ran across a business with such asinine policies as this. However you must understand that these moronic policies are just symptomatic of the lack of professionalism possessed by the faculty of a struggling day care masquerading as a school. Do your child a favor and go anywhere but Avalon academy.

I first enrolled my son here in 2002 when he was a year old, and he continued through kindergarten for before and after-​school (it’s located right across the street from Wilson Elementary). They have great hours and were open from 6:30 am until 6:30 pm. On occasion, they host a «parent’s night out» on Friday evenings, where they extend their hours until 10 or 11 pm for a reasonable fee, plus a movie and pizza party for the kids.
Children are divided up according to age groups. They take great care of infants, toddlers, and young kids alike. For a child care facility, they are very clean and teach children good hygiene and manners. They are accountable and give parents a report on how well the children eat at each meal and snack, when they take naps, what activities they do, etc. If your child falls or gets a bruise, or if they fight with another child, they write up accident reports. They go the extra mile to implement a well-​rounded educational curriculum with various activities such as tumble-​tots (gym), playground time, story time, magic shows. In the summer they even take field trips to fun attractions.
