Philosophy
The philosophy of the Annandale Preschool Early Learning Center focuses on, foremost, the safety of your child and the creation of a safe environment. Secondly, we want the children to be excited about coming to school each day. More than one child has asked his or her parents why they can't come to school on Saturday and Sunday. Finally, we believe that children can learn at any age and that learning should be a life-long activity. We develop the desire to learn and the attitude that learning is great fun!

Goals
Help your child to reach his or her full potential with a preschool that nurtures development with love, understanding, sympathy and empathy for young children's emotional, social and academic needs.
