Their Learning

As They Play Their Way To Success

Toddlers | 2 - 3 Years | Serving Ashburn, VA

An Outdoor Classroom For More Freedom Of Exploration

An incredible outdoor classroom sparks your child’s imagination because there are more opportunities for open-ended play. In an immersive learning environment, your toddler makes discoveries and forges new friendships while exploring mud kitchens, ride-on tracks, gardening, yoga, digger sections, and more.

Half-Days & Part-Time Care Options That Fit Your Schedule

Whether your schedule is jam-packed or more available, you will love knowing your childcare options meet your needs. Part-time options include three full days or three half days so that your child gets to bond with new people and spend time with friends so that they are happy, well-rounded little beings.

At Center Stage, We Believe Children:

Are Natural Learners

Learn Through Their Senses

Need The Freedom To Explore

Are Highly Influenced By Their Environment

Learn By Observing Others

Small Class Sizes For Extra Guidance, Attention, & Love

Low student-to-teacher class ratios ensure your child receives the care, guidance, and attention they need to succeed early. Teachers get to know your child closely, allowing them to tailor lessons to their strengths, improvement areas, and interests so they develop comfortably.

A Global Education Starts With A Blended Curriculum

Children between ages 2 and 7 go through an adsorbent phase. During this growth phase, children absorb their environment and can learn without conscious effort. Children need their days infused with learning at play. Expect a Montessori-inspired approach, a preschool push, focusing on fine arts, performing arts, and global awareness.

Social-Emotional Skills Develop Good Citizenry & Confidence

Teachers create an atmosphere of acceptance, encouragement, and exploration where your child learns to love, communicate, and express themselves. Alongside peers and guided activities, they master essential social skills, socialize, and explore as valuable community members.

An Open-Door Policy For Teacher-Parent Communication

Children explore at their own pace, so no grades and tests shields them from undue pressure. Instead, teachers make daily observations and documents regarding their development so that you receive updates, and we focus on their social, emotional, physical, psychological, and academic growth and progress.

A Global Education That Will Diversify Skills & Knowledge

With a focus on diversity and inclusion, your child enjoys an open-minded global education. “Culture Fridays” are a way that we explore different cultures throughout the world, opening their eyes beyond your family and our classroom. They also develop new skills through Science, karate, soccer, art, dance, and gardening enrichments.

Check-In Anytime With Live Stream Video

Never miss a second of your child’s day again with the help of live stream video from their classrooms. As a parent, you can appreciate the peace of mind that open and transparent communication with your child’s teachers brings, in addition to observing what amazing adventures your little one is getting up to yourself.

Healthy, Hot, Catered Meals Keep Them Happy & Healthy

To ensure your child is always ready to play and learn, they enjoy a nourishing, hot, catered meal daily! You can relax knowing that the tuition covers wholesome meals, but kids can bring two of their favorite snacks from home.

Center Stage Preschool maintains an open-door policy in which parents are always allowed access to their children and are welcome to enter the facility at all times. However, anyone deemed a threat/destructive to a child/the program will be asked to leave. Non-custodial parents can be denied access if there is a court order that gives the custodial parent permission to deny access.

How Does Center Stage Preschool Encourage Parent Communication?

Communication between home and school is vital to a successful preschool program. Monthly newsletters and weekly activity and lunch plans are sent in advance via email to parents and are always posted in the classroom.

Not only can you see what exciting adventures your little one is up to, but you also love the open and transparent relationship with your child’s teachers every day.

What Is The Dress Code For My Child?

At Center Stage, the classroom extends to the outdoors. We take the children outside to explore our playground and play area as much as possible, and safety is of the utmost importance. For this reason, we ask that your children dress appropriately for the weather and wear closed-toe shoes while at the preschool. Upon the first day of enrollment, we ask that you provide an extra change of clothing for your child to keep in their cubby in case of accidents. Clothing must be in a zip-lock bag, with their name labeled on it.

What Are Your Health & Safety Measures?

With top-tier security measures, including security cameras, privacy fences, CPR-trained staff, and daily sanitization, your little one can focus on learning to know they’re always safe, secure, and healthy.
