Aunt Molly's Playcare

5901 4th St North Arlington, VA

1 mi

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!

Carey J. says "Let me preface: my child does not go to this daycare - I work part time and stay home with my children the rest of the week. I'm looking for care for my...

Preschool

Arlington Unitarian Cooperative Preschool is a child-centered, cooperative preschool with a play-based curriculum that promotes curiosity and builds self-confidence. We are a half-day program with classes meeting weekdays from 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., serving infants through Pre-Kindergarten children (number of days per week varies based on child's age). Parents play a vital role in the operation of the preschool through co-oping in the classroom, committee assignments, and maintaining our building and grounds, all of which build the spirit of community that AUCP highly values. Our school also emphasizes a nature-based curriculum, and students in the 3 year old and 4/5 year old classrooms spend one day every other week outside at a local nature center, exploring the woods and creek in unstructured play. While on campus, students in every age group spend time each day, rain or shine, outdoors on our wonderful playground or taking a class walk. While we have a great relationship with the church, the preschool is not affiliated with the church and does not have any religious preferences or affiliations. For more information or an application, please visit aucpva.org or email membership@aucpva.org. AUCP admits students without regard to race, color, creed, or national or ethnic origin.

Preschool

We are a home away from home, as such, we decided to open the daycare/preschool in a residential neighborhood and converted a house where children can call home rather than a commercial space or a basement of a church. All teachers and assistants are specially trained in our Healthy-mind/Healthy-body philosophy and our unique curriculum with Spanish immersion that all children participate in, including infants. As an enrichment center, we produce various projects throughout the year such as our monthly art appreciation (children study a particular artist and their painting for one month), and monthly sports camps including mini-soccer, basketball, baseball, hockey, golf, etc. In addition, we provide music lessons, yoga classes, and dramatic play. To reinforce our teaching on healthy eating, we help children plant a vegetable garden while incorporating nutrition in some of our lessons plans. For example, children participate in basic kitchen lessons on how to make their own sandwiches, shuck corn, or learn how to make home-made tortillas. We provide home-made hot breakfast, lunch and a pm snack with fresh ingredients including plenty of fruits and vegetables (from our garden during the summer). Some children eat from the menu as young as six months, (depending on the physician’s note). Our teachers are experts on how to prepare the meals by blending, chopping, or cutting into small pieces. Our weekly tuition rates for 2023 are 540 for children under two, 518 for children two to three, and 436 for childre three and up. Don’t miss this opportunity to join the MTB Family.

At Children's House Montessori School, our mission is to provide a high-quality education in a safe, supportive environment while honoring the individual talents of each child. We serve children from two years of age to six years of age and offer part-day or full-day programs, during the academic school year and summer camp. Children learn at their own pace through the five main subject areas in the Montessori curriculum: Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Geography. In addition to the Montessori curriculum, children learn and practice lessons in science, nature studies, art, music, cooking, and grace and courtesy. Toddlers and preschoolers participate in countless socialization opportunities for personal, physical and social growth. The Enrichment Program allows parents to pick up their child(ren) between 3:15 P.M.- 5:45 P.M. During this time, children enjoy periods of art, gross motor exercises, music, and storytelling activities. At CHMS, teachers create Maria Montessori's "prepared environment," which allows each child to cultivate a love of learning to succeed at his/her own pace. The faculty is highly-trained, and a majority of teachers have taught at CHMS for at least 15 years.
