HOPE HISTORY
HOPE Preschool first opened its doors to the Ashburn community in 1992. During that first year, there were 60 children enrolled in the preschool. After a building renovation in 1995, we have developed our program to be a model preschool that meets the guidelines established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
The staff at HOPE Preschool include teachers, many of whom are skilled professionals with educational backgrounds, and assistants with childcare backgrounds. All activities are developmentally planned and supervised by our professional staff. The preschool hires by the Commonwealth of Virginia's standards for religiously exempt child day centers. Children applying for enrollment must be the appropriate age by September 30th and toilet trained by August 1st.
