Calvary Children's School mission is to provide the highest quality preschool education in a Christian environment to the children of our community.  Founded in June 1998 by the Calvary United Methodist Church, we are a not-for-profit corporation, fully licensed by Arlington county and the Commonwealth of Virginia.  Our curriculum is structured to help children learn through play.  By modifying the environment, materials and experiences, teachers expand awareness and scaffold learning for later years.  Our program offers diversified opportunities for our children to develop positive feelings and attitudes about themselves and others.  It is our goal to help families develop happy, adjusted, secure individuals in a climate of freedom, with discipline and affection.  Our curriculum is based on the Virginia Foundation Blocks for Early Learning.

Our school operates Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, from 10am to 2pm.  Before and after care options are available.  Children do not have to be toilet-trained to attend.  There are one, two, three, and four day options for all ages.  Children of all religious faiths and ethnic backgrounds are welcome.  Scholarships are available.

We are located on the border of Arlington and Alexandria in the Aurora Hills neighborhood, on the corner of Grant and 23rd Streets.  Our playgrounds are the two closest county parks -- Nellie Custis and Nina parks.
