ENROLLING NOW for 2026-27 School year!
Our school year runs from mid-September to May each year. We follow the Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) calendar, as well as inclement weather days, so that we have the same holidays and teacher work days as public schools.
As we are a preschool and run a year long curriculum, our class ages are based on the child's age as of September 30 of that current school year (with the exception of 3 year olds in the Threes & Fours class). Additionally, our classes are designed for your child's attendance on all days scheduled.
As a cooperative preschool, parent involvement is not only a benefit to your child, but also runs the school and keeps tuition low. Your responsibilities are just as important as your child's opportunities. Please review the Summary of Member Responsibilities when considering each class and if Providence Nursery School's program is the right fit for you.
We understand that children develop at difference paces. Toilet training is not required for any of the preschool's classes.
