Weโ€™re Building Brighter Futures for Alexandria Children

Our mission is to provide caring, high-quality, free education and related services to under resourced children and their families in their own neighborhoods.

We prepare and empower children and families for success in school and life.

Started by a group of mothers living in the Charles Houston Area of Alexandria in 1984, CFNC is the ONLY Alexandria, Virginia nonprofit providing free, high quality, multilingual preschool and family support for our areaโ€™s community based on their income. Today weโ€™re teaching 139 of Alexandriaโ€™s kidsโ€“providing early education and family support services.

Benefits of Preschool

Language and Literacy

A growing vocabulary strengthens a childโ€™s readiness for reading.

Thinking Skills

Children are natural scientists and their first experiments teach them about the world

Self-Control

A child who is socialized to solve problems through words, take turns, and pay attention is ready to be a good classroom citizen.

Self-Confidence

Confident children are ready to learn. They follow their curiosity and are quick to recover from mistakes.
