Hello! I’m Edward Johnson. My wife Josephine and I run Celebree School of Reston. We built Celebree Reston to be the preschool\/childcare center we wanted for our own kids. We accept infants through pre-K. When visiting, you’ll find we have warm teachers, small ratios, strong safety, and clear two-way communication. <\/span><\/p>\n For academics, we use the Creative Curriculum, a play-based approach that weaves in STEM thinking\u2014hands-on exploration, early math and science, literacy, art, and problem-solving\u2014so children grow in confidence and are kindergarten-ready when they progress through our Pre-K program. <\/span><\/p>\n One of my favorite things about Creative Curriculum is how concrete it is: we set up purposeful \u201cinterest areas\u201d (blocks, dramatic play, discovery\/science, art, library, and math\/manipulatives), teachers guide month-long studies tied to real life (buildings, trees, simple machines), and we use clear objectives to track growth in social-emotional skills, language, literacy, math, and motor development. This allows us to individualize goals, document learning with real observations and photos, and share <\/span>specific progress with\u00a0families\u2014not vague, generic updates. <\/span><\/p>\n You’ll also find that our classrooms are bright and calm, the building is secure, and we get outside whenever the weather cooperates. Also, we’re open every day from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, which many families who commute to and from work can appreciate.\u00a0If you’re searching for a fun, nurturing, and safe learning environment for your little one, please come visit us here at Celebree School of Reston.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Meet Edward and Josephine Johnson, proud owners of Celebree School of Reston, a nurturing preschool and childcare center for infants through pre-K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":51,"featured_media":22742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[407],"tags":[463,461,465,471,473,488,468,494,475,469,491,500,486,478,484,462,472,502,497,481],"class_list":["post-22741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-culture","tag-celebree-school-of-reston","tag-child-development-reston","tag-creative-curriculum","tag-daycare-in-reston-va","tag-early-childhood-education","tag-edward-johnson-celebree","tag-family-owned-preschool","tag-infant-care-reston","tag-josephine-johnson-celebree","tag-kindergarten-readiness","tag-nurturing-childcare","tag-play-based-learning","tag-pre-k-program","tag-preschool-near-me","tag-reston-childcare","tag-reston-preschool","tag-safe-preschool","tag-small-class-ratios-preschool","tag-stem-preschool","tag-toddler-program"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/10\/RestonGB__31-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2025\/10\/RestonGB__31-600x600.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Brooke Davis-Cruz","author_link":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/author\/bdcruz\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/51"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22741"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22741\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22755,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22741\/revisions\/22755"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.celebree.com\/reston-va\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
