Founded in 1928, NCRC is an independent preschool that believes the early years are the most important for giving children a sense of self, building their confidence, and transforming them into lifelong learners.

NCRC is an independent preschool located in Northwest Washington, DC. Many elements make up our model preschool, including a richly diverse community, an experienced, professional faculty, a play-based curriculum inspired by research, special music, motor, and library programs, inclusion of children with special needs, parent education, and a supportive and giving community. At NCRC these elements combine to create the "magic" of our preschool, a joyful place where teachers, children and families come together to play, imagine, learn, and grow. NCRC is accredited by the National Association for Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
After the "long cold lonely winter" that was 2020, it has been wonderful to see "the smiles returning to the faces" here at NCRC this spring.
Please enjoy a glimpse of the joyful days on Highland Place during this gorgeous time of the year.
Happy Spring and Happy Friday! 🌸🌞

NCRC students and teachers have been busy putting kindness into action! As part of NCRC Days — a celebration of inclusion, kindness, and community — each class brainstormed ways they can show kindness to NCRC or to the community outside. From kindness rocks to birdhouses, food drives and making new friends, each project honored our different perspectives and spread kindness along the way. Each project is documented and displayed on the front porch — make sure to stop by! 🌸
Feeling lucky at NCRC 🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s day!

Family Work Day is about keeping NCRC beautiful by working together as a community. It is also about keeping the broader community beautiful and giving thanks to those we share this wonderful neighborhood with. Each year, the Explorer team and their helpers put together these goody bags to deliver to our neighbors on Family Work Day. We can't wait to share! 🌼
Today the Treetop Class got a special visit from Ms. Julie's husband, Mark Mishkin, who taught us all about rocks and minerals, and answered the students' many questions. What a fun way to expand on the Treetop Class' current Rock Unit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge -- and your collection!

Today, Beehivers experimented with... diapers?! Watch as they make predictions on what will happen when a pitcher of water is poured into a diaper, and then test those predictions. Will the water spill, or be absorbed?
Working hard at Family Work Day!
Our Bunnies were inspired this week by nine-year old child artist, Aelita Andre. And now we're feeling inspired by our own NCRC artists.

NCRC's "31 Reasons in 31 Days" Annual Fund Kick-off Reason #30: NCRC is a safe haven. Tips to keep things fun this Halloween from Ms. Judith - Make sure your child has a good meal before Trick or Treating - Pin your name and number to your child in case of accidental separation - Face paint is safer than a mask for small children who are still learning eye/hand/body coordination - Determine ahead of time what your route will be - Avoid homes that have very frightening props or decorations
NCRC's "31 Reasons in 31 Days" Annual Fund Kick-off Reason #2: We love the special programs, the children love the special programs... they're having fun while they learn and we can't ask for anything better! - Faculty
