MOST ACCREDITED IN AMERICA
We are very proud!
Nationally, only 10% of preschools are accredited - almost 100% of our education centers. That's a big difference, and it means KinderCare kids get the best. It is therefore.
READY FOR SCHOOL
This is what science looks like
Our talented educators pave the way for children to learn throughout their lives in a positive, safe and supportive environment.
Child Care Programs in the Village of Ashburn
Baby programs (6 weeks to 1 year)
Leaving your child in someone else's care is a big step. Everyone at our centers - and most importantly our naturally gifted infant teachers - will work with you to ensure a smooth transition. When you walk into our baby class you will see how much we want your child to feel safe, loved and ready to explore their world.
Programs for young children (1-2 years)
Everything in our toddler class is designed for little explorers. This is because a lot happens at this age. When your baby is roaming the world, it means that he is learning and discovering new things every day. We help them discover their interests (and find new ones!) while having fun and learning.
Discovery preschool programs (2-3 years)
This age is full of wonder and curiosity. That is why we offer lots of books and toys and present works of art at children's eye level. Children in Exploratory Kindergarten also begin to learn as we all work together in the classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play and group play help them get used to a more structured school environment.
Kindergarten programs (3-4 years)
Expression is what counts at this age, when children really begin to form their own ideas about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our Kindergarten classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create crafts, and play pretend games—all the skills they need for their next big step: Kindergarten!
Kindergarten programs (4-5 years)
When you walk into one of our preschool classrooms, you'll see artwork and magazines hanging all over the room. Labels are everywhere to help children connect letters to words. You will also see paintings on the walls that reflect the families of our community. Your child will also improve their knowledge of language, math, science, Spanish and social skills.
Preschool programs (5-6 years)
Welcome to kindergarten: the entrance to elementary school and everything that follows! Preschool programs offered at select centers include small class sizes and curricula that combine learning with fun. The core building blocks of reading, writing, maths and science are key in preschool, so we make sure they get plenty of practice in all these areas.
Pre-school and post-school (5-12 years)
You can count on us to provide your child with reliable care while you are at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child's school and back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano or create a cartoon, they have a place to follow their dreams. Your child starts and ends the day with great fun!
Interactive kindergarten (5-6 years)
Kindergarten is a critical year for young students. Experienced KinderCare teachers will use your child's natural curiosity to help them prepare even better for primary school. Our immersive lessons take full advantage of current technology while offering plenty of hands-on fun and exploration.
School Break Programs (Kindergarten, Kindergarten and School Age)
Winter break, spring break, summer break - when there's no school (but you still have to work), you can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that focuses on fun. We invite children aged 5 to 12 during the school breaks and give them an unforgettable screen-free experience.
Participant Center for Conscious Childcare
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance to active duty military families and flexible support to meet their needs when care at an on-site Child Development Center is not available.
Educational adventures - enrichment program
Cooking Academy™ (3-12 years)
At the Cooking Academy, children learn new recipes from different cultures around the world and establish a healthy attitude towards food. They will cook everything from Southwest rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin cupcakes while developing their skills in STEM, communication and more. And yes - little chefs can eat their culinary creations!
Music Explorers™ (2-4 years)
KinderCare families are already giving a standing ovation to our newest Learning Adventures: Music Explorers! Children will learn to sing, move, listen, play instruments and even create their own melodies. Our original program combines math, science, social studies, literacy and mindfulness (think yoga!) to create a unique way to learn the basics of music at KinderCare.
Phonics Adventures® (2-4 lata)
Learning to read with KinderCare is fun! In our Phonics Adventures program, we help children love books and words (and prepare for Kindergarten). From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, children learn all about letters and sounds in small group lessons designed specifically for their age group. (Bonus: kids in our phonics program are better prepared for school than their peers—and we have the data to prove it.)
Spanish
Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with the Spanish language. Music, games, Spanish children's literature and other tools give children plenty of opportunities to listen, practice and see the Spanish language to develop vocabulary and conversational skills. The curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers, colors, animals, family, body parts and pets, as well as how to hold conversations in common scenarios at home, a restaurant or a zoo.
STEM Innovators (3-8 years)
You've probably heard a lot about how important STEM education is for your child, but what does it really mean? Our STEM Innovators program takes children's natural ability to understand the world and applies it to robotics, chemistry, coding, geology and more. As your child experiments, they will discover how to use technology to do amazing things!
Our teachers
We are the only preschool education company that selects teachers based on natural talent. However, it is not enough to be a good teacher. KinderCare teachers are also great listeners, caregivers, boo-boo fixers and smilers. In short, we love our teachers and so does your child.
Meet a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

Every day I leave my children under the wonderful care of all exceptional teachers, completely without care, fear or stress. They are always happy to see their friends and teachers.
