My son was consistently exposed to a myriad of topics that were not on the curriculum at his associated public school. His education was differentiated based on his strengths and opportunity areas. The curriculum is so well rounded! Art, art history, movement, meditation, gardening, music and rhythm, reading, spelling, mathematics, manipulatives, etc. He learned independence, social skills and practical skills along with strong academics. All this within a welcoming school and parent community.

It is clear that the teachers love the kids so much, and are so caring and attentive. Our oldest is now in kindergarten and TCCC was a huge part of setting him up to thrive. By the end of his last year he was doing math worksheets and writing short sentences, and that was all due to TCCC. Every day has new lessons and activities and art projects, and we are always surprised at how much they learn. I'm so glad we found TCCC and highly recommend it to everyone!

I look forward to my daughter's time with FAZ.

This place is currently in the middle of construction so the pictures are greatly inaccurate…read more Before they started construction we were all set to leave our three month old here when we couldn't reach anyone in the office to answer questions or take our payment, etc. Apparently only one person on the entire staff can do that and she was out for three weeks. That doesn't seem organized to me and lacks planning. When we went to do a drop in visit the doors leading to the retirement home, that we were promised were kept closed, were wide open. Anyone could come and go and no one would have noticed. We saw a stroller with three babies in it left in the hallway unsupervised near an exit door for a good 8 minutes. Yes we timed it out of curiosity. When we went into the room we saw a little girl with a blanket pulled over her face sleeping under a shelf with a radio on it. We were told she likes to sleep in the dark (INSANE). One kid was in a part of the room by himself completely out of view of the caretakers who were rocking babies in bouncers with their feet. We took our child elsewhere.

Mrs.Bears had put all her time and effort building an excellent program to prepare children for Kindergarten, It also helped my daughter learn about making friends,sharing, kindness and independence.

My daughter loves learning and is always curious about all the things around her, Thanks to Early Learning Express. it's a true hidden gem of Mclean!

Mrs. Bears and Ms. Nicole, her assistant teacher, are wonderful with my 3-year-old son. He gets…read morelots of attention and play with his classmates. My son has learned about nature, the alphabet, numbers, phonics, manners, and storytelling from Mrs. Bears, and he comes home with new skills all the time. Mrs. Bears does special activities for different holidays and seasons, such as Mother's Day crafts and water play in the summer. She understands child development and how to effectively engage her students and foster age-appropriate learning. My son adores both Mrs. Bears and Ms. Nicole. No tears on his first day, and he is always happy to go back. Every child has their own individual strengths and challenges, and Mrs. Bears works with them to be ready for Kindergarten classroom learning. I'm so glad my son did not attend a large daycare center, since Mrs. Bears offers a small nurturing environment where he is thriving.

Enrollment fee apply, but are fair to keep out those who are not serious. FCMCC Is diligent about teaching strong principles and habits. Washing hands, sharing, helping set the lunch table, helping to cleanup, and more. They engage in redirecting behavior that can be distracting to other children. As a parent, this is a technique I was not aware of and I'm glad to have learned. I now use redirecting instead of timeout. The classrooms are designed for each age group. There are plenty of learning activities as well as fun toys, such as Legos. Every day my son participates in circle time, where his teachers provide instruction on the topics that they are reviewing. There is also plenty of outdoor playtime and one nap a day. Naptime/Quiet time is around 130 and is for two hours. The teachers are fantastic! They are not daycare workers they are certified teachers. Each classroom has a headteacher with two or more assistants. They are very organized and have activities planned for each day. I'm surprise my son doesn't come home with homework at 3years old :) Every day I am happy to take my son to Falls Church McLean Children Center because I know he's going to have excellent care and education. There are other programs parents can take advantage of through Fairfax County, I don't participate in those however they are available if I need them. Speech therapy is one of them. The office staff is very helpful! Miss Kathy, the director has a lot of experience in her field and it reflects in her management of the center. If you're looking for a place to take your son or daughter highly recommend FCMCC is your go to!
