The Day School

Over the past 60 years, The Day School has provided educational experiences for thousands of children.

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 18 months of age through Kindergarten.

Due to the wintry mix forecasted on Monday, February 11, classes will begin at 10:30, pick up is moved to 12:30. 1:30 dismissal stays the same. 
Our Mission

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. TFCEDS admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, and programs made available to students at the Day School. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of our policies or programs. 

Our Goal

We strive 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.

Our Curriculum

We are 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.
