About Bundle of Joy Preschool in Ashland, VA

Bundle of Joy’s childcare and preschool program is designed to serve the needs of the child and family. We recognize ourselves as partners to the parents, working together to help encourage each child to progress at his/her own pace. Our staff encourages positive self-confidence, self-esteem, competence in self-help skills and those inner controls and language abilities necessary for effective social interaction.

Our programs emphasize the process of learning and discovery. Daily activities are designed to encourage children to act upon their environment. We provide an environment rich in materials to explore, manipulate and discuss. Children are guided to question, to discover, to think and to reason. No single area of development is stressed above another. Bundle of Joy promotes the growth of the whole child, emotionally, physically, socially and intellectually.

The best way to describe Bundle of Joy at the present time is that we are focused on excellence in quality of care, education and best practice in the area of early childhood education. We work with state and local agencies, other local preschools and early education programs, as well as higher education programs to help us evaluate our programs. We create a learning community where children develop skills as building blocks to the next level of education.

Our Programs

Bundle of Joy provides Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten and Afterschool care services to approximately 600 children and employs approximately 125 staff members. We are and continue to remain focused on ways to best meet the needs of the families of Virginia. When you visit any of our schools you will quickly see we are not a daycare. We are very much a school offering structure and opportunities for creativity. With the help and partnership of our families and wonderful, dedicated staff members, we are able to do what we love to do each day by providing a place where children can grow and learn while they are in a safe and nurturing environment.

We believe that developmentally appropriate early childhood experiences foster wonder and a life-long love of learning. We also believe that children build upon their existing knowledge through inquiry and shared experiences. Therefore, we strive to provide authentic learning opportunities through creativity and purposeful play.
