Ardent Christian Preschool and Daycare celebrates the opening of their new location at Town Madison
MADISON – TJ and Sherry Lee of Leeland Ventures, in partnership with Ardent Preschool CEO John and his wife Tracy LaBreche, were all smiles last week, excited to celebrate the grand opening and ribbon cutting of their fourth Ardent Christian-based Preschool and Daycare. The ceremony took place Wednesday at their new Town Madison location, 799 Town Madison Blvd.
The ribbon cutting was followed by an open house on Saturday. According to LaBreche, the event included family activities, tours, and opportunities to meet the dedicated teaching and administrative team for the newest 24,162-square-foot early education facility.
Ardent is currently holding open enrollment.
“The opening of our Town Madison location marks another step in our mission to create exceptional early learning environments where children thrive, and families feel at home,” said LaBreche. “Ardent truly believes that children are a blessing and we take pride in being trusted to care for them. Our goal is to come alongside parents, whether it is their first or fourth child, and support them the best we can during the early stages of their child’s life.”
Located between two upscale residential districts, The Heights and The Commons and a mile west of Toyota Field, Ardent is now easily accessible to workers and residents of Cummings Research Park, downtown Mad- ison and Redstone Arsenal via the new Town Madison/Toyota Field exit off I-565.
The sprawling new facility sits on 3.23 acres across from Quarry Park and offers full-time, year-round daycare for infants as young as six weeks through preschool.
The state-of-the-art facility makes education and security a top priority with classroom smart boards, as well as with video surveillance, mag-lock doors, and coded entry/exit systems.
It is staffed with highly trained and qualified administrators and educators with 18 modern classrooms, a full kitchen, large indoor play areas, as well as outdoor amenities like the Infant Courtyard, a splash pad, covered playground, and a soccer field.
“We have worked closely with John for nearly 10 years to not only bring wholesome Christian early-learning environments to North Alabama, but to make sure we chose key locations that maximize convenience and accessibility for parents across the region,” said TJ Lee of Leeland Ventures. “We are eager to open the doors to families living in and around Town Madison – one of the safest, fastest growing and exciting developments in North Alabama.”
In North Alabama, Ardent has two schools in Huntsville at Redstone Gateway and Jones Valley; and two in Madison at Clift Farm and now Town Madison.
TJ Lee has over 35 years’ experience developing Christian educational facilities and as a former Christian School administrator, he is an advocate for high-quality faith-based education.
The LaBreche family now has eight Ardent Preschools in Alabama including four in the Birmingham area: Greystone and Trace Hills in Hoover; Patchwork Farms in Vestavia Hills; and one in Valleydale.
