About Fort Hunt Preschool

Fort Hunt Preschool is a nature-rich, play-based cooperative preschool in the Mount Vernon district of Alexandria, about 3 miles south of Old Town.

It has classes for two, three and four year olds, with 8 two-year-olds at a 4 to 1 ratio, and 10 children each in the three and four year old classes at 5 to 1. The 4s class doubles as pre-K.
