Educational Philosophy
We want your child’s first educational experiences to be fun, engaging, and challenging so they develop a love of learning! Flexibility and individualization are both built into our Ascend Curriculum so we can fully support the learning needs of every child in our care. Our teachers progressively introduce sets of skills across nine subject areas such as Literacy, Mathematics, Cultural Understanding, and Technology each month, but the activities themselves can be customized to fit the interests and current skill level of each child.
Kind Child
Kind Child is one of the nine learning domains we emphasize in our Ascend Curriculum. We focus on developing social-emotional skills in our classrooms every month and a new character trait like a Positive Self-Image, Empathy, and Friendship every two months. The goal of our Kind Child program is to enrich friendships and to continually elevate every child’s emotional well-being, which creates a Kind School we all enjoy!
Safety & Security
Keeping children safe and security is the top responsibility of any preschool or daycare facility. Winwood South Riding maintains child-teacher ratios that are lower than state standards so our teachers are better able to respond to the needs of their students. We have a secure entry system throughout our center so we can effectively screen families and visitors.
Our school has MyToddlerLink, which is a web camera system that allows parents to check on their child throughout the day from the convenience of their home or office. We also provide our parents an app called KidReports, which keeps them updated on their child’s progress throughout the day and includes photos.

Our Team
Nancy Pruckowski
Assistant Director
Hello! My name is Nancy Pruckowski. I am so excited to become a part of the South Riding team! I joined the Winwood family in 2013 in Leesburg as an After-Kindergarten teacher and worked closely with management after completing their pre-management program in 2015.
I moved to Lovettsville, VA when I was three and spent all of my childhood on a quiet sheep farm in the country. After graduating from Virginia Tech, I knew I wanted to work with children which brought me to Winwood! I love to spend my free time with my boyfriend, Josh, and our chocolate lab, Morty. We live in a tiny house in Sterling where you can usually find me doing crafts or sitting on the back deck with a good book.
