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.

Spring Knolls embraces a play-based learning philosophy in a cooperative community while focusing on the &quot;whole child.&quot; Through the power of play, our experienced and dedicated staff help children thrive in the five developmental domains: social, language, cognitive, fine motor, and gross motor skills. Located in downtown Silver Spring, Spring Knolls is for ages 2 through pre-K that offers half-day (9am-12pm), full-day (9am-3pm), and beginning in fall 2023, extended day options (9am-5:30pm). Play-based learning is, essentially, to learn while at play. Whether it is building with blocks or playing with plastic animals in the sand table, the child solves problems and learn new skills while doing something they enjoy. The child directs the learning experiences based on their innate curiosity, furthering their understanding of the world and people around them. A cooperative community means that parents are directly involved with the administration of the school. All parents help in the school operations, from marketing to facilities upkeep.

Are you in search of a home away from home for your little one? I provide a safe, trustworthy home daycare in a beautiful neighborhood conveniently located near the beltway. I have more than 25 years of experience as an educator and caretaker of children, as well as Fairfax County licensing. Your child will be in a pet free, smoke free, drug free, and alcohol free environment where learning and growth is encouraged. I am committed to providing a warm and positive environment where your child will feel loved, safe, and accepted. Many of the children I have cared for in the past lovingly and comfortably call me &quot;auntie&quot; or &quot;mom&quot;. Education is an important cornerstone of my daycare and your child will develop through play time, arts and crafts, song, educational programming, and learning their shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. He or she will naturally interact with other children and build good, positive relationships, preparing him or her for preschool and kindergarten. I have a small daycare, meaning lots of one-on-one care and solid peer bonding. I currently have openings for infants and toddlers, Monday through Friday, 7 am to 6 pm. References are available upon request and rates are negotiable. Please feel free to call and get to know me, or set up an appointment to meet me. I look forward to meeting your bundle of joy!
