Arlington Preschools

Nobel Learning Communities Esther Peterson Child Development Center at the Dept. of Labor serves ages 6 weeks - Pre-K. Our preschool combines learning experiences and structured play in a fun, safe and nurturing environment - offering far more than just child care. Preschool is the first introduction to a lifetime of learning, a journey that should start off on the right foot. Our enthusiastic teachers genuinely care about children, and understand each child's individual developmental needs and learning style. They take the time to help each child discover, in his or her own way, a fascinating world of play and learning. We encourage a highly productive partnership between teachers, principals and parents. We link parents to what their children are learning at school through monthly folders, parent bulletin boards and open parent-teacher communications.

Welcome to a place filled with warmth and light, smiles and laughter, fun and fitness, love and learning. Our school offers an engaging, nurturing environment for every child, during the most critical early years, starting in infancy. By adhering to high standards, we help mold inquisitive, confident kids, who are socially, physically, and academically prepared for school. As a 21st century preschool, our STEAM curriculum brings the world into every classroom. Integrated, hands-on learning experiences in Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Math provide a foundation to ensure children are prepared to navigate a changing world. As they grow, your children will need to be makers and thinkers, and that's why this approach ensures that they thrive and develop the necessary skills to embark on their future. This school of today will prepare your child for the world of tomorrow.

I have been a licensed child care provider for Arlington County and have over 30 years of certified in-home daycare experience. My daycare is my condo but is inspected and approved by Arlington County.

I am CPR, First Aid Certified, and completed many infant, toddler and preschool sessions.

I am very patient with children, I love keeping them active, reading to them, taking them out to the park, when weather permits. I absolutely love children and taking care of them is my passion. I hope you become a part of your child's life for years to come!

I have 1 full time or part time space available for an infant beginning July 29. But please keep in mind that I do hold spots, so if you need a later starter date,(up to 1 3 months in advanced) do not hesitate to ask.

The Montessori School of Washington is a small, nurturing environment for children ages two to six where the curriculum is based on the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. The school 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 own timetable of growth and level of interest.
By achieving continuous success in learning experiences, the child will develop self-confidence and competence, attributes which are carried into maturity. When children acquire self-mastery and self-respect, they then respect others.

Katie's Wonderful Worlds Mission is to provided excellent, loving, nurturing care and attention to Infants, Toddlers and Preschool aged children
