toddler
Schedule
At Creative Gardens in Ashburn, we provide the best personalized educational childcare for toddlers. Our transitional toddler classroom is designed to be a safe and stimulating space for your child to explore. The classroom is equipped with soft exploration toys and manipulatives, and is rich in literature and music. We encourage our toddlers to dance and sing, helping them to develop confidence and social and emotional skills that will last a lifetime.
Our curriculum for this age group is focused on strengthening your child's oral language and providing a strong foundation for their continued learning. We use sensory activities and literature to aid in their sensorial and language development. We also introduce our toddlers to healthy eating habits by allowing them to eat "family style" with their teachers, trying new foods such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. This helps to increase their social skills and gives them the tools they need to make healthy lifestyle choices.
preschool
Schedule
At our preschool in Ashburn, Virginia, we use personalized learning and a love of learning to help children develop the foundations they need for success. We follow the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation Blocks as a base for our curriculum, but we are flexible in our approach, allowing us to support the competency of these standards in a way that meets each child's individual needs. Our immersive and exciting learning environment includes a variety of tools, such as Montessori manipulatives, Reggio Emilia learning tools and approach, and Waldorf's thematic learning concepts. We use whatever tools and methods will best help a child understand and engage with each concept, leveraging their unique learning style. Our preschool program is designed to be the perfect introduction to daycare and childcare for your child.
kindergarten prep
Schedule
Our pre-kindergarten program is designed to provide your child with the foundations they need for a successful life, both in and out of the classroom. We use the Virginia Early Foundation Blocks as our base, allowing us to prepare your child for both private and public schools. Our low ratios ensure that your child gets the individualized attention they need, leading to excellent learner outcomes. We work closely with your child's next school to ensure that their transition is smooth and that their new teacher has all the information they need to continue their education in a challenging and forward-progressing manner. Our pre-k program is designed to help your child achieve independence of body and mind, just as Maria Montessori intended.
