Welcome to Beloved Moments! Our home daycare has been a part of the family's lives for over 20 years. Our goal is to provide a place where children know they are accepted, loved, protected, and wanted. We want to help instill a strong sense of self-worth and purpose in every child. We make sure that each child has numerous positive experiences and interactions every day through our interactive schedule and teaching techniques. It is our goal that when the day is done and the children go home, they feel happy and proud of themselves; eager to tell you about their day to you! We believe that children need to be treated as individuals and feel safe and secure with opportunities of learning through play, interacting with others and being involved in making decisions. Children need structure but also a freedom that allows creativity to develop and self-discovery to occur. We allow children to learn at their own pace and choose their own hands-on activities to help them learn and grow. We encourage independence and personal responsibility by requesting kids to clean up after themselves. Good communication between parent and provider is a very important part of our quality daycare. It is because of this we are committed to creating a strong bond with you and your child. We want you to feel completely confident and reassured when you leave your child in our care. Each child is different, unique, special and will be treated as such. Each day we feel privileged to have the opportunity to see the world through the eyes of a child, to join in their laughter, and to be included in their day to day activities. This is how we have chosen to spend our days. We look forward to being able to keep your children smiling and hopefully yours too! We are open Mondays- Fridays from 7:00am - 5:30pm and nights from 6:00pm-11:00pm Saturday and Sunday we are open from 7:00 am-11: 00 pm

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Merrifield, VA

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Merrifield, VA. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift.

You can also check your options in Merrifield, VA for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Merrifield, VA, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Merrifield, VA.
