Falls Church Merrifield Preschool

The level of education your kid will get here is absolutely unmatched. I can tell you as someone who is now in the public school system, my kid was already at a first grade level leaving this school. It was incredible the plays and end of year graduation that was put on by the kids. Again comparing to some of the dance classes I’ve put my kid in outside of the school. Unmatched by a mile. The quality of standards and instruction the kids are exposed to is something I really really miss.

Our son has been going to Falls Church Merrifield Preschool for over a year now. He has had a great experience learning and playing. My wife and I work full time, therefore, knowing that the preschool’s teachers are taking good care of our child gives us a peace of mind. We appreciate the director’s proactive approach, she keeps us informed about all events and updates in the methodology and routines. It has been a great experience for our family, overall. Definitely recommend.

Falls Church Merrifield Preschool has been a wonderful environment for my son where he has learned so much and thrived during the most crucial and precious years of his growth and development. I enrolled him at 18 months and now he is four and graduating. The administrator (Elena), teachers and assistants are wonderful. They are supportive, provide great feedback/communication, and work with children both in groups and one to one. The teachers highlight student’s strengths which helped my son became more curious as well as enhanced his social, gross, and fine motor skills. They provided individualized support which has given him a great foundation to build upon as he enters kindergarten. Both Elena and the teachers truly care about the children and are good at what they do! My son is socially, emotionally and academically prepared for kindergarten! Elena sends regular emails to parents letting them know what children will learn each week as well monthly lunch menus. Children also engage in events such as “fall celebrations”, “international week”, among others where the children perform and parents are invited to participate and attend. Falls Church Merrifield Preschool is more than just a preschool. It is a strong community of families that support each other in good times and bad. I am forever grateful for the school organizing a meal train during a health crisis I experienced. I highly recommend Falls Church Merrifield preschool to families who live and work in the area.

We love this school! My daughter is happy and thriving here. Every detail of their day is so well thought out and there is a great balance of fun play time with learning.

I can’t tell how wonderful this daycare is. All my 3 kids attended this daycare and the one in Falls Church started in 2011 and we couldn’t be happier. Ms. Elena sets the highest standards for the staff to provide an amazing care for the kids. From the food, the cleanliness of the facility to the quality of education - everything deserves nothing less but 5 stars. It may take a while to get in due to a long wait time but it’s totally worth it. Don’t look any further.
