Westgate Child Center Corporation

Since 1973, the Westgate Child Center has been committed to providing high quality education and child care in the DC metropolitan area. As a non-profit organization, the center is licensed by both Fairfax County and the Commonwealth of Virginia to provide full time and before and after school care for children ages 2.5 to 12 years old.

Westgate's full day and half day preschool programs divided by age. Each classroom is brightly decorated and organized into different activity centers and filled with educational, age-appropriate toys and materials within reach of children. Our preschool curriculum's also include fun and educational field trips throughout the year, planned to match with seasonal themes and lesson plans (Pumpkin Patch trip in the fall, etc.) Parents are encouraged to participate in our fun field trips! Breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack are provided each day, per the USDA recommended nutrition program.

Serving Schools- Kent Gardens, Lemon Road, Westgate, and Spring Hill Elementary School!
Westgate includes student care for all teacher work days, early release days, and school holidays (winter break, spring break, etc.) as part of their monthly tuition at no additional cost. Breakfast is provided in the morning and a healthy snack is provided when children arrive at Westgate from school in the afternoon.

The program is designed to engage and challenge school-age children in a 'club - like' environment. Different clubs meet each afternoon such as Lego, Bingo, and Cooking Club to allow the student s time to relax after a long day at school. For children not interested in a particular club, there are age appropriate activity centers set up throughout the center for them to engage with such as sports, outdoor play, and arts and crafts. Once 5 pm arrives, students divide into small work groups based on grade for homework time. All students have access to technology and teachers to assist them with completing their homework.
