Welcome to Children’s International School – a full-day preschool in Arlington and Alexandria, Virginia, where learning is an adventure. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, we embrace Learning through Play to nurture the whole child—physically, cognitively, socially, and emotionally. Here, curiosity drives discovery, creativity sparks growth, and children are encouraged to be active participants in their own learning journey. Through exploration, investigation, and shared experiences, our students build knowledge in a joyful, meaningful way. We recognize that the early years are a critical foundation and treat them with the care and respect they deserve.

 

 

Our greatest strength is our team. Experienced, passionate, and deeply committed, our educators go above and beyond to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment where every child can thrive. With a genuine love for teaching and a dedication to each child’s growth, our staff inspires confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
