Our daughter has attended Advantage Early Learning Center during her first year of life, and we could not be more happy with her care, as well as the social and learning opportunities she has received. She adores her teachers and always appears so happy to see them each day. Early education is so important to our family, and our daughter appears to grow in her developmental skills each week thanks to her teachers' hard work. We appreciate the consistent communication about her daily well-being and feeding as new parents. We have felt that our daughter has had a little family with AELC that truly cares about her growth and successes, and that she has had access to a clean and supportive environment in which to learn, grow, and play.

The Best Daycares in Idaho
Advantage Early Learning Centers is dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate environment for all children. We are committed to enriching children's lives socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically in an atmosphere, that enhances creativity and self-confidence. Early experiences determine a child’s learning pattern for life, and early childhood is also the time when self-concept and self-esteem begin to develop. We provide quality early care and education experience, offering challenging goals and opportunities for achievement, setting children up for future social and academic success. Children are unique, and as such will grow and respond at their own pace. We’re sensitive to the individual, and provide a rich variety of experiences.

Advantage maintains open communication throughout your child's day to establish trust and respect with our families.

What Parents Say
Raechel Robert
My daughter attended Advantage Early Learning from the day they opened the Irving site, until last year. The girls there were amazing! Unfortunately due to our relocating, we had to leave and start at a new daycare. My daughter still talks about going back, she loved it that much. She was always very happy when I dropped her off and when I came to get her. They provide alot of extras as well, such as music class, dance class, etc. We really miss Advantage and would definitely recommend them.

Both of my boys have loved it there, especially Mr. Trevor and Jordan and both Edgar's. Gareth is also always asking for Maggie. One of the things I loved about the center is there are access to cameras so you can check in on your child all day. I did for about 2-3 months and then I just didn't feel the need to anymore.
All the teachers really care and try their best.
My boys and I are in NC and there isn't a day that goes by where they don't ask to see Mr. Jordan or Mrs. Jazzmin. They loved it there. If you want a place where the teachers care about the kids and give them as nurturing of an environment as possible AELC is great!!

I can't say enough good things about this place. My daughter wouldn't take a bottle and I was so stressed going to work every day knowing that she would be hungry unless I go feed her (she was barely 4 months old when she started daycare). The teachers all tried very hard with different bottles and different approaches until finally she took one after they tried a bottle she hasn't had before. They are all amazing with the kiddos and I can't thank them enough for how much they care.
