Our curriculum is based upon play as the fundamental learning instrument for young children. The environment is structured to ensure that play is both fun and instructional.
Our Pre-K program is for children who missed the Kindergarten cut-off date, have late summer birthdays or would benefit from the gift of an extra year.
Dolley Madison Preschool and Speech and Language Services are both part of the parent organization, The Speech and Language Center of Northern Virginia Inc. (SLCNV).
Available Tuesday through Friday from 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. Your child can bring breakfast, their favorite book or game, or just come play with us.
Enrichment Programs
Weekly enrichment activities include art, music and movement. We also offer special in-house performances and after-school programs.
Summer Camp
Two fun-filled summer camp sessions, filled with special projects, games, music, art, imaginative play, in-house field trips, and more.
Speech & Language
The therapy service delivery model for the preschool program is a combination of pull-out therapy, classroom-based therapy, and collaboration consultation services.
Dolley Madison was a God send for my son. He got immense support to come out of his shell. The teachers and the speech therapist, Sue Lyons, are all wonderful and go way above and beyond to help the families!

My brother and I attended Dolley Madison Preschool many years ago and when we moved from DC back to Virginia I was looking for a place for my son to spend a second pre-Kindergarten year. I didn't hesitate; I knew DMPS was the right place for him in so many ways. The teachers are wonderfully loving yet structured, and I appreciate the play-based curriculum and the after-school enrichment offerings.

Being part of the DMPS family, including the SL program, changed the course of my child's life. At a very young age, when he most needed a loving, nurturing, encouraging and supportive pre-school environment, DMPS provided all that and more. We are eternally grateful that we found this unique program!

Having attended DMP some 35 years ago I was already familiar with the school, however, I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of programming the school offers. Our kids have benefited from the "in-house" occupational therapy, flexible early dropoffs, and after school opportunities!
