Teaching through Play . . . Learning is Fun!


Our goal is to encourage the development of the whole child: physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually. Our curriculum is based on the philosophy of learning through play. Fundamentals of math, science, and language arts are all included. There are weekly sing-a-longs, a Christmas pageant, a Spring show, and special visits from professional puppeteers and storytellers.

Great Falls United Methodist Preschool operates from the day after Labor Day through the Friday before Memorial Day. We have programs for 2’s, 3’s and 4’s/PreK. We have low teacher/student ratios:

2’s classes have 10 students with 2 teachers
3’s classes have 11 students with 2 teachers
4’s classes have 15 students with 2 teachers.

Fairfax County regulations limit our total enrollment to 99 students. Students must be the class age by September 30th. Three- and four-year-old students must be fully toilet trained.

Great Falls United Methodist Preschool admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis or race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, or athletic and other school-administered programs.
