The Day School has provided educational experiences for thousands of children since 1963.  As a vital part of the ministry of The Falls Church, the staff and teachers of the school are committed to providing an age-appropriate curriculum in a Christ-centered environment for children 12 months of age through Kindergarten.

    Our mission is to serve as a lighthouse in the community, raising up God's children as He has commanded.  God has a special plan for each child and He instills in each girl and boy an openness and an eagerness to learn. It is a privilege to help guide these children to realize their gifts.

    The Day School strives to support the growth of children. By exploring, experimenting, and playing, our students learn about their world physically, emotionally, cognitively, socially, and spiritually. Children will develop a strong self-esteem from successful experiences in creative play with other children in the confident knowledge that they are loved by one another, their family, and by Jesus.  Biblical truth is integrated throughout the curriculum and age-appropriate chapel programs are offered.

    Curriculum formation at the Day School is guided by knowledge of age appropriate developmental benchmarks, current research, and nationally accepted best practices in curriculum and instruction.  Programs of Learning have been developed for each age group to create consistent developmental goals in every classroom.  Content and instructional approaches are driven by the interests and needs of each and every child in a classroom.    Developing eager, curious, creative, caring and joyful young learners is another important goal of our programs.
