What is your food allergy policy?

Do you have cameras monitoring your facility?

How often does my child go outside?
Children go outside two times per day at Center Stage Preschool—once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Each outdoor session lasts up to 45 minutes (weather permitting).
How much time will my child spend on an electronic tablet?
Answer: None! Center Stage Preschool is a technology-free zone. Lead teachers communicate with parents by using tablets to send updates and photos. Otherwise, there are no personal cell phones or tablets available for use at any time.
How do you handle behavioral issues?
Center Stage Preschool uses a unique approach when a child is not behaving the way they should. We use a 3 step approach: model, redirect, glue.
First, we model good behavior. Secondly, we redirect their attention, and finally, we essentially glue them to the teacher’s side to help with tasks. We will contact the parent if the behavior continues.
Who provides lunch?
Center Stage Preschool gets all lunches and snacks catered from School House Grill. As an Ashburn child care facility, we are able to accommodate special dietary/religious needs on a case-by-case basis.
Do you operate year-round?
Center Stage Preschool is open year-round. We are a preschool but also a full-day child care facility to accommodate those families who need care year-round.
How often do you do fire drills?
At Center Stage Preschool, we do fire drills two times per month and safety drills for other situations twice a year.
Do I have to wait for a specific month to enroll?
At Center Stage Preschool, there is no need to wait for a specific month to enroll. We have an open enrollment policy so you can enroll any time as long as your child fits our 3-6-year-old age requirement.
What is your vacation policy?
If you need to pause your child’s tuition for time off for vacation, all we ask is a two-week notice so that we can pause your payments.
Can I extend the number of days my child attends?
