Mission Statement:
The Mission of our school is to provide a Christ-centered, play-based, nurturing and accessible learning environment for preschoolers and pre-kindergarteners while fulfilling the larger mission of TKC to love our Savior, serve our neighbor, teach our people, and reach our world.
Potty Training
We encourage children to be potty trained prior to their first day of school. However, we are here to work with each child at their current developmental stage. We work to partner with your family in making sure that the important skill of potty training is being mastered with confidence building and respect for the individual child.
Accessibility
We strive to meet the needs of each child so that all the children have equitable access. Please contact us further if you feel your child would need accommodations.
What makes us unique?
We have a genuine love for Jesus and have integrated that love in every lesson and how we view child learning. We value hands-on exploratory play and make sure lessons are developmentally appropriate and while advancing learning. We promote critical thinking, collaborative play, and creativity everyday.

Partners
We are delighted to tell you about a new microschool hosted by The King’s Chapel!
Explore Learning School meets from 8:00 am. to 3:30 pm. Monday through Friday. We welcome students in first through sixth grades who would benefit from a 1:6 teacher-to-
student ratio to support reading, writing, spelling, and math. All our teachers are trained educational therapists who integrate educational therapy and a biblical worldview across
the curriculum.
Our small classroom size allows us to build student relationships and offer opportunities beyond the classroom. Our students enjoy adventures that will enable them to discover their strengths and interests, such as hiking, going to museums, baking bread with Great Harvest Company, making ice cream, and so much more.
For additional information about the program, please visit Explore Learning at explorelearningva.com or email us at
We would love to discuss how we could serve your family.
