Child Care

Community Education's child care programs are dedicated to providing a warm, relaxed and caring environment where children have the opportunity to pursue their own interests, develop friendships and grow in confidence, independence and respect for themselves and others through a variety of activities and experiences. 

Parent Handbook, Invoice Schedules, Parent How To Guide and much more can be found on our Community Education Homepage

We follow Alexandria Public School District Calendar
