 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 had a passion for helping parents and their children enjoy a more positive educational learning community It was founded on the philosophy that the unique developmental abilities of each child are to be recognized, respected and encouraged. The Flagstone School strives to implement a curriculum that is a joyful learning experience, encouraging but never forcing, challenging but never overwhelming. We believe that while working together parents, children and staff have the responsibility and the privilege of bringing about a community in which its members neither loose sight of their own strengths, nor disrespect the rights of others.
