Norwood Park Preschool

4.0(4)

< 1 mi

4700 Norwood Drive Chevy Chase, MD

Norwood Park Preschool currently has openings for 2-5 year olds. Preschoolers will learn through play and who knows play better than Imagination Stage? We are proud to announce our partnership with Imagination Stage, integrating the arts with our early education curriculum. We are also offering Spanish language. We believe in whole-child learning, that each child's self-esteem is nurtured by helping achieve competence in all domains: social, emotional, physical-motor, and cognitive. Our goal is to nurture feelings of worth and self-esteem in each and every child. We attempt to recognize and cherish everyone's differences and to encourage each child to respect the uniqueness of others. Teachers understand that everyone learns and develops at a different pace. Respecting individual learning styles, our teachers provide customized educational plans for preschoolers. We work with parents and encourage family involvement. Norwood Park Preschool is a hybrid-cooperative preschool, serving our community since 1939! Parents have and continue to be integral to the success of our programs, and their own talents benefit the children and the school. They are encouraged to participate in all aspects of the school - working with the children and teachers in the classroom to meet educative and social needs. We have adapted our model to include families who cannot fully participate in a cooperative preschools. Families choose whether they can engage in school responsibilities or if they want a reputable, historic preschool to care after their children with limited parental involvement. We attach great importance to play as a mode of learning: children learn best through play - indeed, play is a child's work! Located on the beautiful grounds of Norwood Park, our educational program is an extension of our natural environment, the park in which we are located. Weekly themes including insects and the seasons have our children out in the field like little scientists, counting the legs on bugs and the points on leaves, or observing the outdoors with a keen eye in order to &quot;paint like Claude Monet. &quot; Our program's themes extend to a variety of topics about which children love to learn. The &quot;little green school&quot; has hosted over 75 years of education to the community, and continues to grow, nurture, and support the blossoming minds of our future.

Hello, and welcome to My Little Angels daycare of 20 years, where we teach a comprehensive curriculum. Our program offers a true early childhood education environment where our students learn numbers, colors, shapes, sing songs, enjoy creating crafts, and story time.

Our space feels like a preschool classroom or learning center, and we use flashcards, posters, books, and more to ensure children are learning. I take pride in having a wonderful childcare space with a kitchen, play area, many arts, and crafts, as well as a spare guest room for napping.

The Montessori School of Washington DC

5 mi

4380 MCARTR BLVD NW STE 200 WASHINGTON, DC

The Montessori School of Washington (MSOW) is a small, nurturing environment for children aged two to six. Its curriculum is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's philosophy. MSOW aims to introduce children to the joy of learning at an early age and assists the child in creating an inner order. This self-discipline becomes the basis of freedom, within a framework, for children to learn through their senses according to their growth timetable and level of interest. By achieving continuous success in learning experiences, the child will develop self-confidence and competence, which will carry into maturity. When children acquire self-mastery and self-respect, they then respect others. TUITION ASSISTANCE INFORMATION - MSOW is committed to broadening access for families who might otherwise not be able to afford a high-quality Montessori preschool experience. For this reason, MSOW pledges to set aside at least 25% of all open slots for families eligible for the subsidized childcare/voucher program. MSOW is listed in the My Child Care DC directory under our business name, “The Montessori School of Washington.” To support our military families, we continue to receive fee assistance payments from Child Care Aware and the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood (MCCYN)

Maggie C. says "I'm happy to recommend MSOW. My child attended school there from age 2-5 and we had a great experience. The school is warm, loving and focused on the...

5901 4th St North Arlington, VA

Aunt Molly's is a dynamic home daycare run by a social worker and now adding an elementary teacher. We have over thirty years of experience working with kids and families. We are in a large, single family home right on Bluemont Park with two large, sunny playrooms, separate nap room, a deck, patio,and endless backyard! Our focus is on twenty months to four-year-olds and the developmental stages they go though during this age. Please note that I do not accept infants. To learn to love learning, kids need to have fun and feel good about themselves. We offer a comfortable home environment where your child will have lots of opportunity to play and be a kid! We believe that children should have an early period in their lives when they can experience the world at their own speed in a non-rigid environment. We offer young children the opportunity to run and play and express themselves in their own special way. My program is small, so we can get to know each child and offer them the attention and time they deserve. Here your child will enjoy learning the life skills and the preschool basics they need to start school. My program provides nutritious food (2 meals and snacks) with lots of variety as part of the USDA Child Nutrition Program. We teach healthy eating habits with lots of outdoor activity and daily exercise. I keep a clean home but know children learn through sensory experience. Here they will be allowed to dig in to learning and get messy while doing so. They will also learn to clean up after themselves! Along with playing and learning, we read, listen to and play music, do arts, crafts and imaginative play, take nature walk, learn how to follow rules, listen to adults and to be considerate of others. I respect and love children's individuality and will support you in developing your child's sense of self esteem. We go on regular field trips to the park and take the time to enjoy the fun of childhood! I believe in being considerate, committed, consistent and disciplined. I am somewhat old-school in terms of rules and respecting adults and believe in constant positive reinforcement to keep negative behavior at a minimum. I treat children with respect, love, lots of fun and wackiness,while, as my niece says: Aunt Molly runs a tight ship!
