Programs

We offer full time childcare for ages 6 weeks to 24 months, and preschool classes for ages 2 years old through 4 years old. We offer Monday through Friday classes for each age group. We do not offer part time child care.

The school year session operates from the end of August through the beginning of June. We offer Summer Camps during the summer for 3 year old's through 3th Grade. Ages 6 weeks to 24 months operate full time all year. We follow the Public Schools age cut off of September 30th.

Our Infant and Toddler Program follows the STREAMin³ Curriculum that teaches the children learn through play, exploration, and everyday routines. Children build early skills like communicating, moving, thinking, and relating to others while discovering science, math, reading, art, and more. Our teachers also introduce sign language, offering infants through toddlers an early form of communication to support their development. It’s all about making learning fun, natural, and meaningful from the very start!

Our 4-Year-Old Program utilizes Scholastic Magazine and STREAMin³ Curriculum. This program helps prepare children for kindergarten by building independence, confidence, and problem-solving skills. Through play-based activities, they explore early math, science, reading, art, and more while practicing communication, teamwork, and self-regulation. We provide a strong foundation for school readiness making learning engaging, hands-on, and developmentally meaningful.

Children must be 4 years old by September 30th to enroll in this program.

Our Kindergarten program provides a small class environment where students benefit from one-on-one instruction, the freedom to ask questions, and the opportunity to explore while learning.

We follow the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL), ensuring students are fully prepared for their next school, whether public or private. The ESGI Assessment is used to tailor instruction and support each child’s individual learning needs throughout the year. Our curriculum includes Virginia SOL, Learning A to Z, Heggerty’s Phonemic Awareness, Science of Reading, and Scholastic Magazine.

Math is taught through hands-on manipulatives, daily practice, and interactive games, while handwriting skills are developed using Write the Room activities and Letter Formation practice.

Students also enjoy up to five field trips throughout the school year.
