1st Street KinderCare vs. Advent Episcopal School

Our teachers are passionate about your child's happiness and growth and provide a safe, nurturing environment that cultivates self-esteem.

This is more than a job for our teachers. It’s an opportunity for them to share their passion for life while they inspire, engage, and awaken the wonder inside each and every child.

KinderCare devotes more time and resources to teacher training than any other childcare provider.

Twice a year we host the largest early childhood teacher training program in the country.

Our teachers are dedicated to developing your child's potential and are sensitive to your child's individual needs.

As Birmingham's only independent, Episcopal, JPK-8th grade school, Advent Episcopal School's mission is to provide students with a superior education in a caring, Christian environment to prepare them for a life of learning, leadership, and service.

The Advent-true to its name-is a beginning; the beginning of an adventure in learning that starts in our junior pre-kindergarten program and progresses through eighth grade to give each individual child a firm academic foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Yet, we believe that the mental development of a child cannot be isolated from his or her physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

In a big, rapidly changing world, The Advent provides the stability of a wholesome, caring, small-school environment where each child can experience the total learning process - thinking, planning, and problem solving - in an atmosphere of enthusiasm.

This has been our commitment since we were founded in 1950.  Today, we are just as committed as ever.
