What people say about us.
“AVANCE is the difference between before and now. It has given me the tools to better understand my daughter's needs and it showed me how to be a better mother.”

Evidence and Investigations
Several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of AVANCE programming over the last 30 years. Outcomes demonstrate that our Parent-Child Education Program (PCEP) increases parenting knowledge, improves parent-child interactions, increases parent empowerment, and promotes social connectedness. Studies have also found that PCEP promotes positive early academic outcomes for children, including increased school readiness and better attendance.
