Our preschool is located within Pleasant Valley Church of the Brethren in Weyers Cave, Virginia. We serve potty-trained children ages 2-4 during the school year. Your children will have the opportunity to learn, grow, and explore through play, field trips, and other fun, educational, and faith-based activities.
We welcome you and your family to join us during these fun and formative years.

Our Philosophy of Learning:
Based on the theory that children learn through play, the preschool’s primary objective is to provide a secure and loving environment in which children are actively involved and free to explore and create. The daily routine is designed to balance structure and free choice with active and quiet time. Bridging the gap from home to school, the staff focuses on developing self-esteem while building social skills in a school setting. Sensory motor, perceptual and language skills are introduced through materials and activities which are both child-centered and teacher-directed. These concrete, hands-on experiences are planned according to a calendar of themes and units which are relevant to the children. Emphasis is on the process rather than the produce, fostering a sense of accomplishment and pride.
