About Winwood Children’s Center Preschool in Lansdowne, VA

Winwood Children’s Center, Lansdowne offers a safe & stimulating preschool environment where young children and their families experience peace of mind. We recognize that it isn’t easy for parents to leave their children in the care of others, so we make concerted efforts to keep you connected with your children while you are away. We have an app where our daycare providers and preschool teachers send you pictures and updates throughout the day.

Our Programs

The Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoThe Ascend Curriculum takes a skill-based approach to early education and balances the development of cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and creative skill through nine learning components: Baby Signs, Literacy, Science & Sensory, Mathematics, Technology, Creative Expression, Cultural Understanding, Physical Fitness, and Kind Child.

Kind Child

Kind Child Program LogoKind Child is part of our monthly Ascend Curriculum and the backbone of our preschool’s culture. The goal of Kind Child is to elevate every child’s feelings of happiness, improve their emotional well-being, and enrich their friendships. We develop social-emotional skills each month and focus on valuable character traits like Empathy, a Positive Self-Image, and Thankfulness every two months. The result is a preschool environment where students feel welcome, supported, and valued!

Homelike Environment

A warm, homelike environment is one of the features that separates our school from your typical daycare center. Vibrant colors, overstimulating designs, and clutter can be overwhelming to young children and lead to behavioral problems. We have found that children transition more successfully from home to school when the school environment is conducive to their home environment, so we use more natural tones and include elements such as pillows, fabrics, soft seating areas, soft lighting, and accents from home.

Our Location

Winwood Children’s Center, Lansdowne is at the corner of Riverside Parkway and Upper Meadow Drive and our address is 18792 Upper Meadow Drive in Lansdowne, Virginia, 20176. We are less than a mile north of VA-7, which makes an ideal choice for parents who commute to Leesburg, Potomac Falls, and Ashburn.

Christina (Nicky) Klein

School Director

Hello! I’m Nicky Klein and I’ve been with Winwood Children’s Center since 2018. I love coming to the school knowing that we are helping children grow through enriching play in a loving, nurturing environment each fun-filled day. Winwood has helped me grow as well by helping me obtain my Child Development Associate while I was a Lead Teacher in our Preschool programs for four years after being a Toddler Teacher my first year. I have a passion for learning, and I love getting to watch my team and the children at Winwood learn together!

Outside of Winwood, I love spending time with my husband and two dogs. We love to explore trails and restaurants around the Northern Virginia area whenever we aren’t watching a Premier League game. I enjoy knitting and card making during my free time. Most of all, I love spending time with my family and friends and making wonderful memories together!

We've been sending our 3 year old son here since February. We were initially skeptical with how he'd handle the transition to his second daycare, but the caring teachers and staff made him feel quickly at home. He loves it! All of his teachers have been great: Ms. Lydia, Ms. Luna, and Ms. MJ in particular. There have been occasions where we've had to drop him off early or pick him up a little late (he attends half-days) due to doctors appointments and the like, and so long as we communicated this to the staff in advance, they've been very accommodating. Their "parents night out" was much appreciated for this mom and dad, and our son had a blast during their after-hours dance party! Highly recommended.

Love love love this school! We've had our 9 mo old son here for the last 3 months and couldn't have asked for a better start to our son's experience at school. We just love Miss Anne and Miss Nuria. I have full trust, faith, and confidence in them caring for my son each and every day. They are so intentional to personalize their care for him and I am so thankful to how committed they are to helping him grow and develop into a young baby toddler. They have been so loving, caring, and compassionate to our son, and kind and empathetic to us as parents as well. Thank you so much Miss Anne and Miss Nuria, you're a blessing to our family! We love you! We also LOVE Miss Beth and Miss Nicky. They're so sweet to answer all our questions and help us have the best peace of mind when our son's at school. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Winwood Landsdowne. Can't say enough high praises for all the teachers and staff there! :)

The director Beth is fantastic! The teachers are first class and have cared for all three of my children as if they were their own. I highly recommend the Lansdowne Winwood Children's Center.
