Seven Corners Children's Center, Falls Church

Children learn naturally through their environment. Each class is enriched with centers. They have a listening/reading center, science & math center, art center, writing center, housekeeping/pretend center, computer center, water table and blocks. A playground is used every day for gross motor. Children enjoy music and movement with parachute, musical instruments, bean bags and lummi sticks. Special music is offered twice a month. The center contracts with Reading Is Fundamental to provide free books three times a year for every child. Extra books are purchased so that they also are given at least three more books during the year. Many children have no books at home and look forward to receiving their special books. A lending library is offered weekly to promote parents reading to their children. Books are the windows to the world to children. A volunteer librarian does special story time with the children twice a month. Despite the fact that English is a second language for many children, all children leave the center fluent in English and ready to succeed in school.
