The Walker Chapel Preschool Experience

  • Classrooms

    Following the best principles of early childhood education, we foster educational, physical, social, and emotional development through both unstructured and organized play. Our curriculum is enhanced by daily craft projects, exploring music and instruments, science experiments and gross motor skill movement classes. Students learn and play large sun-filled classrooms, a fenced playground offering opportunities for outdoor exploration, and a large recreation room for imaginative indoor play year-round.

  • Teachers

    Each WCP classroom is led by a highly qualified Teacher and qualified Assistant Teachers, and students benefit from teacher/student ratios lower than those required by the State of Virginia.

    All our Teachers and Assistant Teachers have extensive educational backgrounds that meet or exceed the State of Virginia’s educational and experiential requirements for early childcare educators. They complete at least 16 hours of early childhood training each year, maintain First Aid and CPR certifications, and complete Virginia’s Mandated Reporter training annually. Teachers and Assistant Teachers frequently participate in other courses, workshops, and conferences to keep current in their fields. Additionally, all staff are certified annually by a physician to be free from any injury which would prevent the caring of children.

  • Calendar

    The WCP academic calendar begins in early September with orientation for all classes prior to their first day of school, and classes run through early June. WCP is closed in observance of federal holidays, as well as for week-long breaks over the Christmas holiday and Arlington Public School’s observed Spring Break.
