St. Joseph's preschool focuses on each individual child, helping meet their needs in the most developmentally appropriate environment possible. The environment both inside and outside is equipped with materials young children require in order to grow not only academically but physically, intellectually and emotionally.
The staff at St. Joseph's preschool have established a truly child centered learning experience based on the belief that "hands on learning and experience is the best way to teach." It is the school's mission to continue the legacy set forth by its founders and continue to provide affordable child-care.

The Sisters of the Missionary Servants of St. Joseph under the Columbian Province originally founded St. Joseph's Day Nursery and Kindergarten in 1957. With the permission and assistance of Former Bishop Peter L. Ireton, three young Sisters left their home country of Spain and came to Falls Church, Virginia to open a Day Nursery.
