Preschools & Day Care in Midlothian, VA

Midlothian has 26 preschools and day care centers, all of them in Chesterfield County. Most are full child care centers that take children from infancy through pre-K, so a family here often picks one school for the whole run from the first months to kindergarten instead of moving between a daycare and a separate preschool. A smaller group are church preschools with shorter school-day programs, and the Midlothian Family YMCA offers early drop-off, enrichment and summer camp.

National and regional chains shape much of the local market. The Goddard School of Midlothian runs one school on Walton Park Lane and another on Robious Station Circle. Kiddie Academy of Midlothian is on Woodlake Commons Loop, Brandermill KinderCare is on Fox Chase Lane, and Primrose has schools named for Midlothian Village, Swift Creek and Waterford. LeafSpring School at Charter Colony and The Learning Experience in Bon Air are the other familiar names. Skipwith Academy has two Midlothian sites, at Westchester Commons and at Woodlake, run by a Richmond area child care group that has operated since 1996.

Several centers are locally rooted. A Child's Place Preschools has been family owned and operated since 1984, with a Midlothian campus and a West End campus, and its Junior Kindergarten for four and five year olds follows the Saxon Early Learning Curriculum. Bright Ideas Enrichment Center has cared for children in the area since 2004 and takes children from 6 weeks to 12 years. Clover Hill Children's Center, at 7001 Chital Drive, has served the community for decades and offers the same range of ages. Midlothian Kids Academy has a second location in Henrico.

Montessori is a smaller thread here. Woolridge Montessori Academy teaches from the Montessori philosophy in Infant, Pre Toddler, Toddler, Pre Primary and Primary classrooms, and Skipwith Academy at Westchester Commons has Montessori classrooms alongside its other programs. Families looking for a faith setting can look at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church and Child Development Center, a Christ-centered school open 7:00 am to 5:30 pm with Chapel on Wednesdays, or at the smaller church preschools: Winfree Memorial Pre-School, Mt. Pisgah Preschool and St.Mark's Preschool.
