At Celebree School of Tysons- Jones Branch, preschool is where everything clicks—confidence, curiosity, friendships, and foundational skills. Our preschool in McLean, VA, is more than a safe, nurturing space for your child to spend the day. It’s a launchpad for life.
We meet your child right where they are with patience, play, and purposeful learning experiences designed to help them flourish socially, emotionally, and academically.

It’s Not Just Preschool, It’s Pre-Success
What makes our preschool program so impactful? It’s all about the balance between structure and exploration. At Celebree School of Tysons- Jones Branch, children are encouraged to ask questions, make messes, and grow in a space that’s structured just enough to support kindergarten readiness without rushing childhood.
We know early learning isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why we take the time to get to know each child at our day care center, tailoring support and activities to their unique pace and personality. Even our approach to infant care has that intention. Independence, self-expression, and emotional resilience are all part of the curriculum.
Kindergarten Readiness Starts Here
The transition from toddlerhood to kindergarten is a big one, and we make sure your child is ready for it, academically, socially, and emotionally.
In our preschool classrooms, structure is gently introduced as your child grows. We follow the Work Sampling System, a research-backed method of observing and documenting learning across seven key domains:
- Social and personal development
- Language and literacy
- Mathematical thinking
- Scientific thinking
- The arts
- Social studies
- Physical development and health
Each child has their own individual portfolio that captures snapshots of their learning journey, from creative projects and group activities to problem-solving moments and growing independence. These tools help us track development while honoring each child’s unique strengths.
Our Preschool Program: Building Skills Through Play
Preschool at Celebree School isn’t about sitting still all day. It’s about movement, wonder, and meaningful learning experiences disguised as fun. Here’s a glimpse of what we do:
- Self-help skills like zipping coats, hand-washing, and tidying up teach independence.
- Social-emotional learning is part of everyday interactions—sharing, taking turns, and resolving little conflicts.
- Language and literacy are boosted through storytelling, group discussions, and rhyming games.
- Math and science sneak in through counting activities, sensory bins, and nature exploration.
- Arts and crafts strengthen creativity and fine motor skills.
- Physical activity indoors and outdoors builds coordination and supports healthy development.
Most importantly, children are learning how to express themselves, try new things, and bounce back when things don’t go as planned. Those skills are kindergarten gold.
Our preschool program sets the excellence standard for all early childhood education centers focusing on kindergarten readiness.
Personal Spaces That Foster Confidence
Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to help children feel a sense of ownership and belonging. Each child has their own cot for rest time and a cubby for their things.
