Preschool in Lynchburg, VA 24503
Welcome to Randolph College Nursery School. We are a small school with a big heart. We get to know each and every one of our children and their families so well, that we feel like one big happy family. When you walk in our front door you hear the joyful sounds of children hard at play, the quiet, encouraging voices of supporting adults and lots of singing, as music is an integral part of our program. We welcome you to visit to see and hear for yourself what makes us so special!
