Welcome

Welcome to Burlington Elementary Preschool!
Our goal is to prepare your children for kindergarten and beyond by learning to be good listeners, good leaders and good students. We do this through lots of play, learning and fun, plus a little singing and dancing! We believe that each child is unique and has the potential to be a leader in school and in life with guidance, patience, and kindness. We try to foster a love of school and a love of learning!
The mission of the RCPS preschool program is to promote a developmentally appropriate learning environment to foster individual skills and understanding that will enable children to make sense of the world and to succeed. We create an environment that invites children to observe, be active, and to make choices and experiment.
