A new boutique nursery and preschool is opening in the Fall of 2021. The experienced preschool owners are familiar with both early childhood developmental milestones and the Fairfax County Public School educational standards/curriculum. The Nest Preschool is located here at the Dranesville United Methodist Church, right off Sugarland Road. Its great location is nestled in a small neighborhood with lots of green space for children’s play and activities. Each light-filled classroom has doors leading directly out to the play area. Quality teachers will guide children’s learning through a play-based curriculum that focuses on social-emotional development. Tours are available.
