Winwood Children's Center
Preschool in Leesburg, VA 20176
Winwood Childrens Centers mission is excellence in service to the child, the parent, the family and the community.
We realize that even with a good program, a developmentally healthy child needs a positive interaction with his/her parents when he/she is at home. Therefore, we put a strong emphasis on partnering with the parents – bridging from the center to the work place and to the home. A strong emphasis is placed on family activities and parent education.
Winwood Childrens Centers management team will communicate on a regular basis with the Advisory Council. The professional advisors come from a diversified background in education, health, and a variety of childrens programs. The recommendations and support, in a changing and challenging world, will help us address the concerns, needs, trends and opportunities for our children, parents, families and staff. The extra professional support helps all of us provide additional learning experiences and better quality with suggestions, solutions and positive reinforcement.

Our program philosophy is grounded on the principle that children should have a happy, safe, and healthy environment in which to learn and play. How that environment is structured and maintained is up to a team of educators and administrators dedicated to quality care for children and families.
Hygiene is of the utmost importance. We believe healthy children are happy children. We know that children and adults thrive in an environment which is disease free. Keeping our environment clean requires the work of many different players.
Keeping children safe during their day at Winwood Children’s Center is of utmost importance. Our teachers will be responsible for establishing guidelines in the classroom to involve children in a world of exploration, and for keeping them safe during that exploration. Our Center is dedicated to ensuring that children are safe while in our care.
The most important responsibility, perhaps, that we have as child care professionals is to ensure that each child in our care is given opportunities to develop positive self-esteem. This is achieved, in part, by making certain that all discipline practices are positive, consistent, and age appropriate. Children flourish best in an environment that honors them for their cultural differences, their individual interests, and their varied abilities. Our staff members are sensitive to the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual needs of each child in our care.
Active parent involvement in our program is our goal. When families and educators work together in a child’s development, that child has increased opportunities for growth and learning. Bridging each child’s education between the Center and the home will ensure the development of empowered individuals having the necessary attributes that lead to responsible adulthood.
Our Center is a community composed of the parents of our children, and our staff and administrators. Each member of the community plays an important and integral role, and has a common goal in mind: the well-being and positive development of our children. This commitment to our clients – our children and parents – is the very basis of our program. We ask that each member of our community maintain the highest level of commitment to that goal.
