Purcellville Children's Academy
Preschool in Bluemont, VA 20135
Each age group offers a wide range of learning experiences designed for the ability levels of the group. Developmental goals are given to each classroom based on their age and projected growth throughout the year. Each level of developmental goals builds on the previous level with the ultimate standard being measured by the Skills for Kindergarten Readiness as published by the Department of Education.
Our playground is fully equipped with a variety of gross and fine motor skill building equipment. Opportunities for tactile and dramatic play experiences abound in the age-appropriate areas provided. Each age level has it’s own recess session with times for combined play throughout the day.
Every month, parents receive a lesson plan from their child’s teacher with the daily activities for the month as well as any special parties and/or events. Along with the monthly calendar, teachers send home a monthly letter to keep parents informed of the classroom progress. The school also has an every other month newsletter to better inform parents on general policies and procedures as well as upcoming events.

Activities that support the individual development of each child will always be our main focus. It is the teacher’s responsibility to assure that each child is challenged to their own individual level. The developmental goals for each classroom are stated as general expectations for the classroom. Teachers are encouraged to exceed these goals whenever and wherever possible for the continued advancement and development of the children in their room. It is also expected that the teacher will adjust the complexity and repetition of the activities in the room to suit the needs of the children’s developmental level and to provide suitable challenges for their growth. We provide a positive learning environment focused on a small teacher to child ratio to ensure that each child is given the individual attention they need. at PCA, we are focused on instilling a love for learning through hands on experiences, manipulatives, and play. Children learn best through discovery and the use of multiple learning styles.
