Our Childcare Services
At United Christian Preschool, we provide nurturing, faith-based childcare for children ages 18 months to 5 years old. As a family-owned and operated small business, we understand how important it is for families to feel secure, supported, and connected when choosing childcare. That’s why we go beyond basic care—we create a safe, culturally responsive environment where your child and your family can grow emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Located in Centreville, VA, United Christian Preschool serves families in the local community with a personalized approach to early education. Our program is intentionally designed for small group care, allowing each child to receive individual attention while learning how to thrive in a social setting.
What Makes Our Childcare Different
We are more than just a daycare. We are a preschool community grounded in Christian values, cultural understanding, and child development best practices. Our approach blends structured routines with the warmth and flexibility of home, so your child feels safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
Our services are centered around:
Faith-Based Learning: Children are introduced to foundational Christian values through stories, songs, prayer, and daily activities. We aim to help children develop kindness, patience, empathy, and gratitude—values that guide their growth both in and outside of the classroom.
Bilingual Instruction: We offer programming in both Korean and English. Whether your child speaks one language at home or is learning both, our bilingual approach supports language development and helps build cultural confidence. Families who wish to raise bilingual children will find a strong ally in our program.
Cultural Support: Many of our families are Korean-American or from multicultural households. We honor and integrate cultural traditions into our curriculum and environment. From celebrating Korean holidays to supporting children in adjusting to dual-language experiences, we create a space where identity and belonging are nurtured.
Emotional and Social Growth: We believe strong emotional development begins in early childhood. Our teachers use positive reinforcement, emotional coaching, and guided play to help children learn how to express feelings, solve problems, and build relationships.
Physical Development: Active play is an essential part of our daily routine. Whether inside the classroom or outside on the playground, children engage in activities that strengthen motor skills, encourage movement, and build coordination—all while having fun.
Preparation for Kindergarten: Our preschool curriculum introduces age-appropriate academics in a playful, encouraging way. Children explore early math, literacy, science, and fine motor skills through hands-on learning, music, and group activities. Our goal is to ensure that children feel confident and ready when it’s time to transition to kindergarten.
Family Partnership
We see every family as an extension of our school community. Open communication, mutual respect, and trust are at the core of our relationships with parents. We keep you informed with regular updates, provide opportunities for parent involvement, and offer guidance when you need support.
Because we’re a small program, we know each family well. You’ll never feel like just another name on a roster. Our director and teachers work closely with families to understand each child’s unique needs, learning style, and personality.
Practical Support for Families
United Christian Preschool is proud to participate in Fairfax County’s CCAR (Child Care Assistance and Referral) program, which helps eligible families access high-quality childcare at reduced cost. We are committed to making our services accessible to families who need financial support. If you have questions about the CCAR program, we are happy to assist.
We also maintain high professional standards. Our staff members complete annual training and continuing education to stay current on best practices in childcare, safety, and development.
A Place Where Children and Families Grow
Choosing the right childcare is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. At United Christian Preschool, we are honored to walk alongside you during these early, formative years. With a faith-based foundation, bilingual learning, and a commitment to nurturing each child’s full potential, we’re here to support your child—and your whole family—every step of the way.
