Don’t worry if this COVID thing gets any worse. We have an X-Wing parked out front.

Congrats to our costume contest winner!!!

Another great review from a happy family!

Another amazing review from our awesome families!

What’s it like having 40+ distance learners at our school each with their own classroom and schedule? Occasionally you see a random water cycle experiment taped to a window! Great work by one of our amazing 3rd graders!

A huge thank you to the #ashburn Fire Department. Today they visited our school and the children enjoyed a socially distant presentation about fire safety! Then the Firefighters cranked on the lights and the children’s eyes lit up as well!!!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out yesterday for our first annual Trunk-Or-Treat! We had a socially distant, mask wearing, amazing time!

We so appreciate our families for trusting us with their kiddos each everyday. It’s the least we can do to throw shin-digs to celebrate!

We love the Reggio Emilia approach as well as many others! We are building math provocation carts for each classroom! These allow for self-directed exploration of math concepts! Still a work in progress but just as we ask children to learn from their work and iterate, so do we!!!

Our CEO Garrett Wilhelm has been working in the personalized learning field for many years. Here is a blast from the past as Garrett describes connection in personalized learning to EdSurge magazine as a panelist for their webinar entitled “Shaping Personalized Learning In A K-12 Classroom.”

Our bulletin board game is STRONG. Rolling into fall like..

It takes a lot to keep a school up and running every single day safely for families that send us their children each and everyday. Each morning our team cleans and sanitizes our building so that every family walks into a “fresh start” every single day. It’s comforting for our families to know that well before they step in the doors to get their day started, our team has been working diligently to ease the concerns and worry our current situation brings.

With our Creative Gardens @home experience, families receive materials and guidance from our CEO on how and why we use these materials in our classroom to teach very important foundational concepts.

[10/09/20]   Our next @home box is ready to be picked up! Want to learn more about our program designed to provide an awesome education at home to your preschoolers?

Mr. G was a Montessori teacher for many years and loves providing this lens to assist in the kiddos education! Here we see him giving a lesson on an extension to the well known sandpaper letters material from the Montessori curriculum.

While Montessori is fantastic in its approach, it isn’t the only method we pull from. So many approaches have great materials, manipulatives and content! We are in constant study and research to effectively pull the best into our classrooms!

We crack our windows open whenever possible to get a consistent and steady fresh airflow throughout the building. This of course leaves the opportunity for our pre-k class to peek in on the 2nd Grade GAP classroom.

Here is a glimpse into our preschool program. Here you see Mr. G giving Montessori’s Spoon Transfer lesson in a mixed group on in-house and virtual learners. We offer programs designed to educate young minds no matter where they are!

Wondering how we are different than your average daycare facility? With a personalized approach to all we do, your child is the center Of their own development and education.

Our garden came to life in the kitchen on Monday when the 2nd Grade GAP students picked tomatoes from the garden to roast with oil, parmesan, and balsamic glaze! It’s activities like this that can help break up the day and keep spirits up during distance learning!

Updating our website to better assist families In learning about our school!

A bit of outside time to break up the day makes the virtual learning go a bit easier for our LCPS kiddos!

Our very first “Creative Gardens @ Home “ student sent their work back! We are finding a place for it this morning during her virtual morning meeting in our classroom! This is just one way we have designed the experience to transition your child back into our classrooms when you feel ready!

#creativegardens #ashburnva #loudouncountva #loudounva #school #childcare #daycare #montessori #reggioemilia #allhavevalue

This week we rolled out our beta version of “Creative Gardens @ Home,” our virtual preschool designed to support families who want more for their child yet don’t quite feel comfortable sending their kiddos back to school.

The feedback is awesome! This kiddo had an awesome week doing the Montessori lessons, The Pink Tower, and Grasping Transfer! She had tons of art projects and virtual morning and math focused meetings! Parents document her progress as you see below so educators can use the information to personalize the next week’s box and curriculum!

Want to learn more about getting your kiddo enrolled? An awesome educational experience at the fraction of the cost of in-house!
