Welcome to King's Kids Preschool
Children learn best through play, so the hands-on activities in our Kindergarten-readiness program make learning fun!
About King's Kids Preschool
Caring, experienced teachers
Our families rave about the loving, personal attention our teachers give their children.
Low child to teacher ratios allow our teachers to nurture the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual development of every King's Kid.
Our dedicated, experienced teachers will lead your child through a theme-based curriculum based on FCPS and LCPS standards that explores science, reading, math and more through creative, hands-on projects and play.
Enriching programs
Every age group explores our weekly theme and letter of the alphabet through crafts and activities just right for them. Our program grows with your child each year to prepare them for Kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.
Students enjoy a special lesson every day of the week. Our specials include Spanish, music and movement, chapel time led by Pastor Hank, library, and physical fitness, plus STEM activities.
We may be able to offer after-school classes in dance and sports to enrich and extend your preschooler's day, plus optional summer camp weeks after Memorial Day.
Serving our community for over 30 years
We offer a Christian-based, loving preschool learning environment for children from 17 months to 5 years old.
Our sun-filled classrooms, hand-painted hallway murals, colorful playground and green, wooded spaces create a warm, inviting setting. We're a short drive from Reston, Sterling, Herndon, McLean and Vienna.

Health and Safety Routines
King's Kids Preschool opened for preschool in September 2020 by adapting our preschool program, and we've been open for our preschool students families every day since then. The 2022-23 school year looked a lot more like our past preschool years, and we look forward to another great year beginning in September!
Just FYI, we followed some great strategies to protect everyone's health while we kept learning fun -- so we feel confident we can meet unexpected challenges that might come our way in the future. Our classes are small for a great learning environment. HEPA filters clean the air indoors, and we use the outdoors as much as possible. Face masks are valuable tools if someone is sick -- but they've been optional for students and staff since April 18, 2022 (and they are never required outside). We plan to keep our staggered carpool lines and more outdoor times. We're proud of the way our parents and teachers have worked together so our students could benefit from safe interaction with their peers and our creative, engaging program. We hope your child can join us and experience our caring learning environment firsthand!
Parent testimonials
Here are a few of the comments we've received from King's Kids parents:
"I cannot say enough good things about King's Kids Preschool. Both of my children have attended the entire program and loved it. Not only do they provide a caring environment where you feel comfortable leaving your child, but they provide a curriculum of "fun" learning for the children that really prepares them for Kindergarten." -- Sharon M., Great Falls
"My son is loving Kindergarten and doing great. We had his first parent teacher conference. On his reading DRA Word Analysis assessment, the benchmark for the Fall is 61/193 and he scored 187/193! He also did great on his math assessment. We really credit King's Kids Preschool and the great teachers there for his level of achievement. He had a wonderful experience at your preschool, and we thank you for preparing him so well!" -- Maria C., Great Falls
"We are so very fortunate that our friends told us about King's Kids Preschool. The teachers are so wonderful with our son and all of the children in his small class. King's Kids Preschool is a very special place that continues to exceed our expectations at every turn." -- Molly D., Vienna
"When I first enrolled my daughter in the preschool program at Christ the King Lutheran Church, I was really looking for a warm and nurturing environment, as we had recently moved to Great Falls from overseas. What she got was that and so much more! The school provided her (and my younger son), a curriculum that is balanced, giving the children a passion for learning, as well as a loving, family-type atmosphere that they look forward to every day. My daughter was so well-prepared for kindergarten this year after completing the pre-K program at KKP, and still loves to come back to visit her teachers here. I highly recommend King’s Kids Preschool, and I feel lucky to have found such a fantastic little school for my children to start their educations." -- Justine D., Great Falls
King's Kids Preschool Strives to Be a Nut-Free Program
The health and safety of our students is a priority and since many children suffer from food allergies, most particularly nut and peanut allergies, we have adopted the following Nut-Free Policy:
No food containing nuts or nut butter, or peanuts or peanut butter, shall be brought into the school. All lunches that children bring to school must be free of nuts. Parents must contact the Director before providing birthday treats or any food treats for a class.
