The Sunbeam Children's Center

The purpose of the Sunbeam Children’s Center is to glorify God and create sunbeams for Jesus by providing a safe, fun place where children can grow spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.  We will partner with families to lay the spiritual foundation for children to become followers of Jesus Christ.  We offer All Day Child Care, Preschool, Parent’s Morning Out and Weekday Nursery   programs.

Weekday nursery is available for personal use for church families as well as families of the school and community.  The weekday nursery is also available to church families when attending Bible studies or church related activities at no charge.  Weekday Nursery is open to children ages 3 months to 5 years.  The daily cost is $15.00 for the first child and $12.00 for siblings.  There is an annual registration fee, beginning in September, of $10.00 per child.  Hours of operation are Wednesdays and Fridays, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.  Reservations are required by Noon of the prior day.  To make reservations, call 703-368-5161, ext. 26.  For more information, call Sandy Collins at 703-368-5161, ext. 24.”
