The Northern Virginia Academy of Early Learning has been a leader in early childhood education in the Northern Virginia area since 1996 and has been offering families educational childcare since 1974. The Lincolnia campus uses a developmentally appropriate curriculum, an age-appropriate outdoor playground, field trips, and secure keypad entry systems. The campus offers a Two-Year-Old Program, Preschool for 3-Year-Olds, Preschool for 4-Year-Olds, Summer Camp, and seasonal camps during winter and spring breaks, along with a STEM curriculum that incorporates teaching methods that respect children’s natural learning process and play-based learning supported by a loving, caring staff. The program provides individualized attention, and meals and snacks are not included for children with food allergies, with these exclusions not affecting tuition costs.
The Director is Ginny Beatty, and the District Director is Shareese Ladd, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Capella University, and has completed several developmental studies on adolescents from birth to age five. The staff at the Lincolnia Campus is described as culturally diverse, highly trained, and caring, with ongoing training for each teacher to meet high standards for early childhood education and child care services. The Lincolnia campus serves as the cornerstone of Northern Virginia Academy, marking the beginning of its journey in providing quality early childhood education, and is described as a “home away from home” with stimulating social, emotional, and physical learning opportunities.
The mission of NOVA Early Learning’s Lincolnia Campus is to provide caring, quality daycare and a safe, nurturing environment in which children can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. From infancy through preschool and into school-age years, NOVA Early Learning is committed to fostering a love for learning that lasts a lifetime, with a goal to give each child a variety of experiences that will develop them socially, emotionally, and educationally. Northern Virginia Academy focuses on the educational development of children, emphasizes preparing each child for the journey to elementary school and beyond, and aims to build the skills needed for a successful life.
The Fairfax County community trusts the Lincolnia Campus and the campus has served hundreds of families in the Alexandria area through the years. One parent at Lincolnia shared that their child attended from just before age 3 until kindergarten and was more than prepared, noting that teachers “truly care about and enjoy working with children” and that the curriculum included writing their name, ABCs, numbers up to 100, shapes, colors, manners, and social and communication skills. Another family reported that their daughter progressed quickly and now writes, counts, and reads with confidence, and thanked the program for a nurturing and safe environment and a great team of teachers. A third parent with three children described this daycare as reliable and stated that it avoided many pitfalls they experienced with another daycare.
