MADISON — Bringing the “Ardent Preschool experience” to Town Madison, TJ and Sherry Lee of Leeland Ventures will host a groundbreaking Wednesday for Madison County’s fourth Ardent Preschool and Daycare.  

The Lees and Ardent Preschool CEO John LaBreche have partnered with Breland Companies to make the event possible.

“There is simply nothing like the Ardent Preschool experience,” said TJ Lee, who has more than 35 years of experience developing Christian educational facilities. “From the moment you enter the spacious, beautifully designed, state-of-the-art facilities, or drop your child off in one of Ardent’s colorful, well-appointed classrooms, you are met with a caring, highly qualified staff.

“You quickly relax as a parent, reassured your children will be cared for in a safe, secure, Christian-based environment.”

The school is at 530 Dunlop Boulevard, adjacent to the Madison Golf Center and Quarry Park and between The Heights and The Commons neighborhoods in Town Madison. The groundbreaking is 2 p.m.

Ardent’s other schools in Madison County are in Redstone Gateway, Clift Farm, and South Huntsville. There are four Ardent preschools in the Birmingham area. 

The 24,162-square-foot facility will offer full-time, year-round daycare for infants through preschoolers. The school features 18 classrooms, a full kitchen, and large indoor play areas. 

Outdoor amenities will include a splash pad, a covered playground, and a soccer field.

Security will be a top priority, with video surveillance, mag-lock doors, and coded entry/exit systems.

“We’re proud to bring Ardent’s eighth location in Alabama to Town Madison, continuing our commitment to provide the best childcare and educational experience,” LaBreche said.
