LEAD Day School

"We love LEAD! The teachers are fantastic and the students have a great mix of learning, play and outdoor time each day. Students work on science and art projects that seem advanced for their age groups -- I'm always so impressed by what my child brings home and what teachers share in class photos. We were worried about my son re-entering school after some time off due to the pandemic, but as soon as he started at LEAD last year, he loved it and we saw him make huge strides socially and academically. The teachers really foster strong friendships and peer connections among the kids. And while my son had some exposure to Spanish at home before he started, his Spanish has improved tremendously from his time at LEAD -- he'll tell entire stories in Spanish, respond to questions and initiate conversations. I also appreciate that the LEAD community is small, the school is incredibly well run and the teachers give a lot of individual attention to the students. My son has loved his teachers and we feel so lucky that he is part of such a loving community."

"Loving and caring teachers, a cozy school environment, and a great Spanish immersion curriculum. Our 2 year old is very happy here!"

"This is hands down the best immersion preschool in the N. Arlington/Falls Church area. The care and attention from the teachers and how they encourage language and immersion into other cultures is fantastic. Parents are highly involved and the administration/teaching staff are responsive and truly treat the kids like family."

"Both our children are enrolled at Lead and we couldn't be happier! The curriculum is a great balance of pre-k foundation and fun, artistic activities. I love that they use natural/found items in many of their crafts and minimize plastic. My kids are exposed to all cultures with enthusiasm and sensitivity. The staff is communicative, nurturing and are faithful to all covid protocols."

"We love LEAD Day School. Our three children are every happy there. The staff is wonderful and we trust them completely. We like their philosophy and the language immersion. We highly recommend this school."
