Chantilly Academy Preschool’s mission is to create a nurturing atmosphere which instills the foundation for intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth of children at the nursery school age. Guided by exceptional nursery school educators, we value a child’s learning through play as essential for developing self-esteem and a positive well-being.
a balanced beginning…from head to toe
Welcome to Chantilly Academy Preschool
In a world that feels increasingly focused on automating and fast-tracking childhood, finding CAPS felt like the universe was taking care of us. It’s been such a gift to our family. The small class sizes give me peace of mind knowing my child is genuinely seen and supported each day. When I inquired about my toddler trying the extended day, they took the time to talk with me and thoughtfully evaluate her readiness. They understand that pressure often leads to pushback, and that philosophy is clearly reflected in how they care for each child. We feel incredibly grateful to be part of the CAPS community and would wholeheartedly recommend it to families looking for a nurturing, thoughtful, and child-centered preschool experience.
