At Celebree School of National Landing, we know that young children are naturally curious. From the moment they can crawl or speak, they start asking questions, poking into corners, and wondering how everything works. That’s why our child care in Arlington, VA, is designed to do more than just supervise. We encourage children to explore, discover, and learn every single day.
We believe that curiosity is the foundation of lifelong learning. So we’ve created an environment where children feel safe to ask questions, try new things, and follow their imagination, because when kids are engaged, they thrive.
Here’s How We Inspire Exploration and Discovery
At Celebree School of National Landing, our child care programs blend structure with plenty of open-ended opportunities for creativity and exploration. Here are five ways we help children discover the world around them:
- Hands-On Activities
Kids learn best by doing, which is why we incorporate tactile, hands-on experiences into each day. Whether it’s finger painting, building towers, or digging into sensory bins, we let little ones experiment, make messes, and learn from the process, not just the outcome.
- Nature and Outdoor Play
There’s a big world outside the classroom, and we take full advantage of it! Outdoor play is a big part of each day, giving children the chance to observe bugs, feel different textures, and understand the changing seasons. It’s also a perfect setting for igniting curiosity and encouraging teamwork.
- Imaginative Play Centers
Our classrooms are full of spaces that invite imaginative play, from pretend kitchens and costumes to construction corners and reading nooks. These setups allow children to express themselves, act out real-world scenarios, and develop critical problem-solving and social skills.
- Themed Learning Units
We rotate themes throughout the year to keep learning fresh and exciting. One week might be all about dinosaurs, the next about outer space or community helpers. Each theme integrates age-appropriate lessons in science, math, literacy, and art, providing a fun and cohesive way to explore new ideas.
- Teacher-Guided Exploration
Our educators are passionate about guiding children without limiting their creativity. Through thoughtful questions and gentle encouragement, our teachers help children dive deeper into their interests, whether that’s building a block city or learning about insects under a magnifying glass.
How We Do It
At Celebree School of National Landing, we believe that child care should nurture the whole child. Our programs combine safety, structure, and creativity to create a warm and welcoming environment where exploration is part of the everyday routine. With year-round programs for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, we’re here to help your child build a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.
