š Ballston Childrenās Center is turning 30!
This September marks 30 years of serving Arlington families.
BCC did not become the school it is today overnight. It is the result of 30 years of devotion, experience and continuous improvement, guided by one belief: the early years are more than preparation for kindergarten. They are the foundation for a childās future.
Why Arlington Families Choose BCC:
ā¤ļø Unmatched Teacher Stability
BCC teachers average 16+ years with the school, with no new classroom teachers in eight years. This level of stability is rarely seen in early childhood education.
š Exceptional Preparation for Elementary School
BCC helps children enter elementary school confident, independent and ready to learn. Parents of BCC alumni consistently report that their children continue to thrive academically and socially in school.
š³ A Unique Preschool Environment
A massive, mature tree-shaded playground, separate grassy field and dedicated performance stage give children room to play, explore, perform and build confidence.
ā A Reputation Earned Over Time
BCC was voted #1 Preschool in Arlington by ARLnow readers and named a Best Day Care & Preschool by Northern Virginia Magazine in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026.
Thirty years later, BCCās mission remains the same: to help children excel and develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
ā¤ļø Thank you to the generations of BCC families who have been part of our story.
