“You learn something new every day” may sound like a cliché, but at Celebree School of National Landing, we live it, especially in our preschool in Arlington, VA. Here, learning is more than memorizing facts. It’s about developing curiosity, problem-solving skills, and the confidence to explore the world.
Our preschool program builds a strong foundation across all areas of development—social, emotional, and academic—so your child can thrive now and in the years ahead.
Learning That Sticks
We know young children learn best through hands-on experiences, so we design our days to be active, engaging, and full of discovery. Whether it’s building a block tower, measuring flour for a baking project, or exploring nature in our outdoor play space, every activity is intentional.
Our curriculum weaves in early literacy, math, science, and the arts in ways that feel natural. A counting game might happen while setting the snack table, and vocabulary expands during a pretend grocery store role-play. By connecting learning to real-world experiences, skills stick, and so does a love for learning.
Growing Social Skills and Emotional Resilience
Preschool isn’t just about academics. It’s also where children learn to be part of a community. At Celebree School of National Landing, we help preschoolers practice important life skills like sharing, taking turns, and listening to others.
We also guide them through the big emotions that come with being a preschooler. Learning how to express frustration, celebrate a friend’s success, or keep trying after a challenge builds emotional resilience, a skill that’s just as important as reading and math when it comes to long-term success.
The Power of Play
Play is the heart of our program, but it’s not just free time. It’s purposeful, teacher-guided, and carefully planned to support every aspect of development. Dramatic play encourages creativity and storytelling. Building with blocks introduces engineering concepts and spatial reasoning. Outdoor games strengthen gross motor skills and teamwork.
Through play, children learn without even realizing it. And because they’re having fun, they’re motivated to keep going, whether that’s trying a tricky puzzle again or experimenting with a new art technique.
Preparing for Kindergarten and Beyond
One of the biggest benefits of our preschool in Arlington, VA, is the way it prepares children for kindergarten, not just academically, but socially and emotionally too.
By the time our preschoolers graduate, they can recognize letters and numbers, follow multi-step directions, and work independently. Just as importantly, they’re curious, confident, and ready to tackle new challenges. This balanced approach helps them enter kindergarten not only prepared, but excited.
A Partnership With Families
We know children succeed best when school and home work together. That’s why we keep parents involved and informed every step of the way. From daily updates to progress reports, we make sure you always know what your child is learning and how they’re growing.
Our teachers are always available to answer questions, offer ideas for at-home learning, or celebrate milestones with you. We see ourselves as partners in your child’s early education journey.
Come See Us in Action
Choosing a preschool is a big decision, but it’s easier when you can see the environment for yourself. We’d love to welcome you for a tour of Celebree School of National Landing so you can meet our teachers, explore our classrooms, and experience the warmth and energy that fills our school.
Here, every day is a new opportunity for growth, discovery, and joy. And that’s exactly how we think learning should be.
