JCC Program

The Jackson Child Care (JCC) program stands out for its alignment with the Department of Education standards, as outlined in the Virginia Early Learning and Development Standards (ELDS). We take pride in being a Virginia State-licensed family day home, and our preschool program is one of the Family Day Home in the area registered with and approved by the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies (NACCRRA), a military tuition assistance program.

Our JCC program is meticulously designed to provide children with a comprehensive range of age-appropriate developmental activities. These activities ensure successful transitions into elementary school by covering all key learning domains.

  • Language and Emerging Literacy: Activities that promote communication skills, vocabulary development, and early reading and writing skills.
  • Math: Our hands-on experiences are designed to introduce basic mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills, providing a solid foundation for your child’s future learning.
  • Science: Exploration and discovery activities that encourage curiosity and understanding of the natural world.
  • Physical Health: Activities that promote physical development and healthy habits.
  • Social/Emotional Development: Experiences that foster emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and social skills.

Working hand in hand with parents, we ensure that each child’s growth, learning, and development are supported, laying a well-rounded foundation for future success.
