What people say about Us.

“Mi nombre es Ana Encino, aun soy participante de AVANCE, mi niño es Mario Gael Martinez, su maestra es Olga Tueme. Mi bebe entro de meses de nacido y ahí fue creciendo y aprendiendo dentro del programa, además de que se divertía en las socializaciones que habían. Aprendió y avanzo a nivel intelectual y es demasiado el avance y las personas se sorprende al ver que él va bien avanzado. Considero que este programa es muy importante parea los niños, ya que se divierten y socializan entre niños, aprenden números, abecedario, colores, los sentidos de humor, y de diferentes tipos de cosas. Más que nada promueve el aprendizaje de forma dinámica. Me gustó mucho y fue un placer estar dentro del programa, me voy satisfecha con los resultados. Recomiendo AVANCE por la experiencia que tuve con mi bebe.”
