| |  Mission statement By providing childcare in a safe, nurturing and educational setting, children are better prepared to enter the public school program. Nearly 90% of the children enter the Center with little or no English language skills. When they have completed the program, all children speak fluent English, thus enabling them to enter Kindergarten with the skills to succeed. We have both Full-fee and Subsidized-fee students. To be eligible to participate in the Subsidized-fee program, the family must live in Fairfax County and the parents must either be working full-time or attending school. The children's tuition is based on a sliding scale determined by the Office of Children, Child Care Assistance and Referral program. Many families would not be able to work if they did not have affordable care for their children. This subsidized childcare service enables parents to be able to provide food and housing for their families. |
