Overview

Our preschool program is offered for children. We are a play-based program that specializes in allowing your child to learn and grow in a safe and loving environment. We use developmentally appropriate practices to meet children where they are and introduce, develop and reinforce their cognitive, emotional, language development, physical and social skills.

At Virginia Hills Preschool, our Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) Program is well known in our community. We pride ourselves in having our graduates ready for the start of Kindergarten. Our curriculum begins with the Fairfax County Public Schools' Kindergarten Readiness Guidelines. However, our graduates are far above and beyond those guidelines when they leave our building. Our Pre-K teachers have many years of experience and are very skilled at assessing each child (and adjusting their curriculum to meet each child's needs).At this stage of development, our program focuses on increased independence, understanding of feelings and skills in problem-solving, and conflict resolution. Lots of modeling, role-playing and story-telling is used to develop and reinforce these life skills. In language and literacy, we are learning to understand more complex questions. The students learn about books and their proper use. We incorporate the "Handwriting Without Tears" writing curriculum. We continue to fine-tune those gross and fine motor skills. Our days include math concepts, learning about characteristics of objects, plus patterns and sorting. The Pre-K children also increase their demonstration of creativity and memory as those skills continue to develop.

Additional Information

We also regularly offer Afterschool Enrichment programs for an extra charge. Each child must bring their own snacks (and lunch) from home.
