At Fort Hunt Preschool, we believe that children learn best in a safe, nurturing environment, supported by a cooperative partnership of parents and teachers. Our mission is to cultivate children's natural curiosity and foster respect for self, others, and the natural world through personal experience, discovery, and play. We offer classes for two, three, and four-year-old children in a natural, historic setting on Mason Hill, just 3 miles South of Old Town Alexandria.
Our History
In 1962, parents worked with Mount Vernon Unitarian Church (MVUC) to establish a cooperative preschool, and the first school year began with an enrollment of 28 students. In 1983, the preschool moved into the historic Carriage House on the beautiful grounds of MVUC where it still operates today. In 2002, in agreement with MVUC, the preschool began the process of becoming a fully and independently licensed preschool, no longer under the domain of the church. The name was changed to Fort Hunt Preschool, and in October 2003, the school was granted its full license by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Our Programs and Services
We offer a range of programs and services designed to foster a love of learning and exploration in young children. Our classes are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored to the unique needs and interests of each child. Our experienced teachers and staff are dedicated to creating a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages children to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace. We believe in the importance of parental involvement and encourage parents to participate in their child's education through our cooperative program.
Our Commitment to Quality
Fort Hunt Preschool is licensed by the State of Virginia Board of Education and is a member of Parent Cooperative Preschools International (PCPI), Virginia Cooperative Preschool Council (VCPC), and Potomac Association of Cooperative Teachers (PACT). We are committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares children for success in school and beyond.
