Emmanuel Episcopal Preschool is a non-profit Episcopal preschool founded in 1968. The Church provides a caring environment for the preschool, which serves a diverse population. The Preschool admits students without regard to race, color, religion, national or ethnic origin.
Our preschool program is based on the philosophy that young children should learn through play and develop positive relationships with other children and adults. Our school day offers a combination of structured and free time in which children learn to feel good about themselves and to care about the feelings of others.
Emmanuel Episcopal Preschool currently has 8 separate classes for children from 2 to 5 years of age. The Preschool uses 5 classrooms, 4 activity-based resource rooms, the worship spaces and large parish hall in the church building, as well as the outdoor playground.
The Preschool is open from Labor Day until Memorial Day, with school holidays generally, but not exactly, matching those of Alexandria City Public Schools. The Preschool has a summer camp during the month of June. July and August have no scheduled school activities.
