We love seeing young children grow in their love for God and learning. Check out why we're a superb place for your young child to attend preschool and kindergarten. Qualified ECE Teachers: Our teachers are passionate about educating young children. But passion alone doesn't make a good educator--that's why all our lead teachers posses degrees/certifications in Early Childhood Education (ECE). In addition, our teachers and assistants are assessed twice annually using the Classroom Assessment Scoring System® (CLASS) to ensure your child receives a quality education. All our staff are CPR/First-Aid certified. Play-Centered, Holistic Approach: We use Virginia DOE-approved curriculum (Pocket of Preschool for preschool classes and The Creative Curriculum for Kindergarten). We follow a play-centered, transversal learning approach in our classrooms. Learning through play ensures your child develops holistically—across the physical, social, educational, and spiritual spectrum.

We’re a family at Little Lambs.

We LOVE Winwood!!!…read more We have a son in the Junior Kindergarten class and the PS2 class. Our youngest son has been attending Winwood part time for three months. He had never attended daycare prior to Winwood, and in the beginning had separation anxiety when he was dropped off in the mornings. The amazing front staff knew exactly how to calm him down and get him to smile . As a parent, it's very comforting knowing that I don't have to worry about how he's doing because I know he's being taken care of. Our older son has been attending Winwood for almost a year now and loves it. We absolutely LOVE the Kindergarten Club that Winwood offers! He is reading and writing on his own more and more each day because of the Kindergarten Club and his amazing teacher. We are so happy to be apart of the Winwood family, you guys are the best!

Winwood is amazing! I toured close to 10 schools and this one knocked the others out of the park…read more Leaving an infant is HARD, especially for a first time mom. You worry so much: are they going to soothe my child like I would? Will she be loved & well taken care of? Safe? Will they pick her up & give her attention? The list goes on & on & on. But at Winwood everything is taken care of. They answered all my questions & ones I hadn't even thought to ask. I felt completely assured & didn't have a doubt that my baby would be & is loved & incredibly well taken care of. I get a report & notifications everyday, the teachers clearly communicate with you at drop offs & pickups about ANYTHING you need to know. They encourage you to drop in to visit, call, or log in online to view their cameras anytime to give you further peace of mind, but honestly I don't need it! The teachers are so incredibly caring & attentive. I feel 200% sure that Ms. Tina, Lauren & Kyong take excellent care of my baby! Every time I come in the room to get her, she's happy & fed & changed & being well taken care of, most of the time being held & in one of the teachers' arms. When I drop her off it's evident they care. Kyong especially always breaks into a smile & immediately takes her into her arms to hold her & starts talking to her & rocking her. That's such a reassuring feeling to know they love your baby as much as you do & are happy to see her, it's not just a job to them. Throw in the fact that this school is super accommodating. My previously arranged childcare fell through & I came in needing last minute temporary care for a few weeks with virtually no notice. Winwood took care of us without a problem. Thank you Winwood, Ms. Dana, Ms. Heather, Ms. Tina, Lauren & Kyong for all that you do!

Especially since my daughter's photo would be up there. It angers me, kids already pick on others for dumber reasons than food allergies, why give them more ammo? They should be somewhere the teachers / subs see them, but not on display like a circus freak show. The facility is awesome and brand new. The tuition is mid to upper cost for the area. Definitely not in love with the fact that they use the state max numbers for their younger classes. For those two reasons I'm giving this facility 3 stars. Nut free, which is great! Very nice outdoor play area.

If your…read morechild starts acting out, DO NOT allow the school to put them in the classroom for difficult children just to keep you paying the tuition. This will make things ten times worse, not because of the teachers, but children with special needs are there, and if your child is not one of them, then do NOT mix them together for hours. Plus there are WAY too many children in that classroom and the teacher is well meaning but completely fried by Wednesday and screaming at everyone. It took six months to undue the damage caused by that classroom and we are still working on it.

My oldest son, at age 5, just graduated from the private kindergarten program at Lake Manassas…read moreAcademy, and my younger son, at 20 months, is currently in the day care there. I have been overwhelmingly pleased with both programs, and the amount of growth and development both boys have shown since enrolling is incredible. Without exception, I have found the teachers and administrators to be warm, attentive, and caring, and always generous with their time. Perhaps best of all, the school feels... calm. Compared to other schools we considered, the classrooms are large, the number of students per teacher seems far lower, and nothing ever feels crowded or rushed. Everything feels taken care of and relaxed. This is borne out by the attitude of my sons when I go to pick them up, as they always seem content and happy. I have looked at other programs, and at other schools, and now that my five year old has graduated into the public school system, it would be convenient to move my younger son to another facility. But I won't. Lake Manassas has always done a superlative job of looking after him, and I wouldn't risk taking him anywhere else. I would HIGHLY recommend this facility. Ms. Caitlin and her staff run a very, very good ship.

The summer school bus did not pick him up at Winwood like the schedule said it would, so Aracely, the Winwood Director, drove our son to school. The summer school disorganization continued with the school expecting our son to show himself to his new classroom in a school he had barely been in. Aracely personally walked our son into the school and made sure one of the teacher assistants would show him to his room. Aracely is exactly why our kids go to Winwood, with our kids safety in mind and go out of their way to help out in stressful situations.

Even after we moved onto elementary school, the staff still provided additional support to my daughter.

They're organized, communicative, go the extra mile even planning virtual events for the kids to connect outside of school times. The staff is loving & patient- whatever they're going through personally I could never guess because they've always got a warm smile / have the entire place under control & at peace. Their Covid measures have been exceptional with wide open communication and precaution, the place looks spotless, the classrooms as well as the outdoor play area are spacious. My son is always in such a good mood when I pick him up and I love getting hourly updates / pictures on what he's up to during the day. I love their theory toward learning- that kids learn through play- so keeping everything fun has been the best for my insanely active 4 year old. I could write way more but hopefully that's enough to give you 1,000% confidence that your child will be in the best hands here.
