We love Epiphany Preschool and are about to enroll our third child. I highly recommend Epiphany for all kids because of the expertise and passion of the teachers. I love nature based education for my kids and our family. I love the way my son's imagination and capabilities skyrocket from his time at epiphany. When the giant snow storm came and the kids in the neighborhood all went inside, my son played for hours. Epiphany had taught him to put on the right gear and how to stay warm. But I recommend it to anyone, because I am so impressed by the staff. Jason and Amanda have built a community that really cares about the children, families, and staff. They go above and beyond other schools in the area ensuring safety inside and outside for this community. They are creating a space most higher level schools and even employers haven't mastered to help our natural environment help give us tools to be more resilient and adaptive and even find more joy in life. They have created a team with incredible credentials and experience paired with passionate energetic newer teachers. I realized a few month after sending my two oldest, that every teacher knew who my kids were. The whole campus really cares about each other and helps each other's passions grow. I thought our son found the perfect teachers for him as a Sparrow with Ms Araz and Ms Nancy matching his energy and enthusiasm. And then he became a Cardinal and Ms Melanie and Ms Shannon have matched him perfectly where he is developmentally and now he is making up songs every day. Our daughter became more confident in her own strengths in the Hawks class with Ms Wendy's support and Ms Heathers ability to match each child's individual entry points and the best method to take the next steps. Due to moving from Atlanta, this is our third preschool experience and Epiphany has the spark of magic I want for my kids. The community events help me reflect on the changes in nature and the joy of friendship. The staff have this ability to remember all that each young child holds most precious, while also having the patience to get them dressed in the right gear for all the different weather. (The gear is important, but they give great lists to help parents be prepared and we've been able to get almost everything on Buy Nothing from our Neighborhood group so it hasn't added extra cost.) My kids are both more practical and more imaginative from the time at Epiphany. I am grateful for the space for kids to really get to be who they are and fully seen. I have loved getting to know other families and finding support as we all figure this out together. read more

Words can't begin to describe our love and utmost appreciation for Epiphany Preschool. Jason, Amanda, and all the staff are absolutely incredible!! Their hearts are big and they truly partner with you to help your child grow and thrive! All three of our kiddos have gotten to experience the joy and wonder of an outdoor campus. The climbing tree is a famous celebrity. Kids come home all smiles on days that involve puddle jumping or snow sledding! Epiphany let's kids be kids in all the right ways. Highly recommend! read more

Epiphany Preschool has been an integral part of our family's early education journey, with our first child graduating as a hawk last year and our second currently attending as a sparrow, while our third eagerly awaits enrollment as a chickadee next year. The environment sets the tone when first walking in - with its lush green spaces you are immediately transported to a child's dream come true. Surrounded by a forest with trails where everyone gathers and plays music, a garden where my kids have grown fruits and vegetables in the summers, an awesome mud kitchen where my child's inner chef comes to life, and a very special climbing tree that my oldest particularly loves. The space has a way of naturally encouraging creativity and exploration. The staff feel like a family -- and they have a knack for nurturing social skills, problem-solving, and have a contagious deep appreciation for nature. Watching our children thrive at Epiphany has been a joyous experience, affirming our wholehearted recommendation to others. Epiphany Preschool is truly a gem. read more

We enrolled our son into Epiphany preschool in the fall of 2022. My son is autistic and the staff was inexperienced with handling a special needs child, even though they understood our situation and assured us it would not be an issue BEFORE enrollment. My son would become overwhelmed at drop off and pass out from crying. The staff would then let him sleep the entire duration of his time at the school, including during snack and eating times. As a result, his eating and sleeping habits at home were off schedule, which is critical to an autistic child. We would often have to keep him home to recover and try and get him back on schedule. As much as we enjoyed the idea of our son being able to participate with other children in outdoor activities, this idea never came to fruition. We tried speaking with the teachers and staff but little changed. Lastly, we requested a partial refund of our deposit and/or the monthly payments due to these issues. The office staff REFUSED to refund any portion of our deposit and ongoing monthly payments. Ignoring our countless conversations and attempts to resolve our issues at the school. It was one of the more obvious examples that the staff had little empathy for our situation. We removed him from the school shortly after. read more

my son loves Epiphany and every teacher. This is a great outdoor school with fun activities. my son would go home talking about different sorts of bugs and plants. The experience is really unique. The teachers who have taught my sons are very knowledgeable, patient and caring for every kid. would definitely send my younger one there when he is old enough read more

Epiphany was a wonderful preschool for my son. I loved how many outdoor activities they did during any type of weather. The teachers and director, Karen Frick, all care about the children and think of creative ways to teach and do many social activities to make learning fun. read more

My son has been going for a year now and he absolutely loved the school . He would come home and talk about his friends and what they did in school. As it is a nature based school, my son observes everything else around like the trees, the weather, the small insects, the colors of the flowers around which is quite nice to see. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who are first timers. The teachers are excellent and really sweet and caring. read more

We sent four children to Epiphany pre-school and could not have imagined sending them to any other school. It was the perfect environment for four completely different personalities. From loving teachers to a stimulating environment and appropriately challenging curriculum, Epiphany provided each child exactly what they needed to become a very smart confident child, well prepared for kindergarten. All children ended up exceeding in their elementary school and/or going on to studying Advanced Academics but most importantly, they all remember their pre-school days with extreme fondness. We love Epiphany and recommend it to everyone! read more

Epiphany is just the greatest preschool! My son loves the outdoors and thrives in this school's environment. The school's director, Karen Frick, is dedicated to all the students, as are his classroom teachers. He spends his time there playing, digging in the garden, walking in the woods (looking for treasure!), and running on the playground. We are moving this summer and I am sure this will be the preschool all others in the future will be compared to. read more

My daughter attended from 2013-2015 and my son attends currently. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! Every teacher knows my child on a personal level and is invested in him. But while the school is so loving and accepting of the whole child, they maintain high expectations for the children's behavior. They teach creative thinking, problem solving, self-reliance, and compassion, along with the ABC's and introductory lessons on history, culture, weather systems, geography, horticulture, farming, I could go on! Best is the children spend a great deal of time outdoors. The school's motto is, "there is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing. The playground is outstanding, especially compared to other preschools in the area that are covered in gravel or sand with minimal, aged equipment. There is a covered outdoor classroom as well so. In addition, my son had/has some physical delays. The school was able to work with us and accommodate my son until he caught up. They cannot do this in more severe cases, obviously, but they work really hard to include children who are having a slightly different journey. The parent community is unusually friendly and all are devoted to the school and to maintaining the positive atmosphere it projects. The staff are extremely educated, well-trained, and are always doing continuing education. Most important, both of my children were/are happy to go to school every day. Epiphany feels like home to them. read more

This is our second year at Epiphany Preschool and we could not be happier. There is a warm, family atmosphere there and everyone is made to feel at home. Their motto says that Epiphany is where children blossom and that is so true. Children are encouraged to learn and grow in a nature-based curriculum under the direction of a caring and nurturing staff. Our oldest moves on to kindergarten next year, and we are confident she has been well-prepared for kindergarten. Our second child is registered to begin Epiphany in the fall, and we look forward to more adventures in learning. We are delighted to see the children mature in such an encouraging and loving atmosphere. Fabulous teachers and Director! We love Epiphany! read more

Epiphany preschool is a fantastic place. I looked at all of the area preschools (as well as several in Arlington and Falls Church) and I felt that Epiphany was the best place for our children. Our children thrived there and I loved how much time was spent outdoors and focused on nature-based learning. Both of my children's Kindergarten teachers wanted to know where my children had attended preschool as they were so well-prepared. More importantly, Karen Frick, the director, truly loves the children and families. She consistently does everything she can to support the teachers (who are fantastic) and to enrich the children's experience! read more

Epiphany Preschool wasnt the first preschool we looked at for our only little girl . We went around and looked for what we thought will be best for our Family . I am pretty sure by the time we got to Epiphany we had only seen 3 others. But as we pulled up i just had such good vibe from the entire unit ,the Church & school section . It really focused on outside details , like bird feeders, picnic table areas where they would have lunch , the gardens with learning how to grow from the ground .& playground on site very close to the school where they be inside learning . It felt small but comfortable but very organized . A great way for a child to get acclimated into a new school we all new ways Karen Frick had me at Hello lol ... she runs Epiphany Preschool and truly was the icing on cake for me and Our Daughters Dad . She was kind , understanding , awesome with the children and i knew after i met her this was the place . Didnt have to look any farther . It was the right amount of students and right kind of teachers and location feels safe , & peaceful surroundings . My daughter loved her preschool years and made lastly friends that we still talk to and she is in 3rd at Stenwood Elementary . So if considering here , it a great choice . Wonderful People & School !

We love Epiphany Preschool! My son attended for two years, and had an amazing experience. The teachers are loving and supportive, and the director is wonderful. We loved the nature focus, and saw our son grow in his love for the outdoors and curiosity about how things work. I can't imagine a better setting for fostering independence, curiosity, compassion for others, and a love for learning. read more

Both of my children are Ephiphany Preschool graduates! Both of my children have entirely 2 different personalities, and they both had amazing learning experiences at this school. The positive energy that permeates in this school is just one of the attributes to rave about! Each classroom is filled with natural light, bright colors, and cleanliness. The outside...well, my heart is full thinking of the outdoor memories of activities and learning that happens here. From gardening, playing on the playground, mini-hikes, puddle-jumping, to graduation and summer camp, the list goes on. Please visit the school and meet with the director, Karen. I remember my first visit, and it is still one of my favorite memories as a mom. read more
