Bethel Home Day Care, 6914 Ashbury Dr, Springfield, VA 22152, US

Sydenstricker was opened to create a place of adventure and discovery for children, thus preparing them for the learning years ahead and to help make a smooth transition into public and private school systems. Ever since 1966 this spot on Sydenstricker Road has been a unique and happy place for children to learn and grow at their own pace. The staff, under the direction of school founder Mrs. Lore Araujo, has provided a clean, loving and nurturing environment for all children and we constantly promote a strong parent-teacher partnership. Our school does no formal advertising, we rely on our excellent reputation in the community and positive word of mouth. We offer classes for Pre-School children ( age 3 ) through Grade 1, full or part-time and we are open from 7AM to 6PM. Our students are placed in classes based on their ages and abilities. Looking at kindergarten readiness, we evaluate skill level and maturity ; the September 30th cutoff date does not necessarily apply to our kindergarten class. Our Fairfax County colleagues are familiar with the quality of the students we send to their schools.
