Welcome to Flagstone School
Established 1994
Flagstone School is a well-known preschool in the Old Town Alexandria area, serving children ages 2 months - 5 years of age. Flagstone School was established in 1994, by a team of dedicated professionals, who believed that childcare should be an extension of home and family, and an opportunity for the child's continuous exploration and development.
It accord with this philosophy, the center provides a family-style environment that is warm and nuturing as well as educational and stimulating. We belive that childhood needs to be a time of fun, joy and discovery. Our goal is to work together with families to provide each child opportunity for these experiences.
