WHEN CAN WE ENROLL CHILDREN TO YOUR PROGRAMS?

LadyBug Academy is accepting applicants of all ages to all our programs now. Don't wait until the last moment. Spots may be taken quickly. Please check out our enrollment process. 

​

DO YOU SERVE SNACK/LUNCH FOR THE CHILDREN?

We partner with the Good Food Company to provide breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks for all children 13 months and up, for an additional fee. Parents are welcome to provide a packed lunch for their children, which must be labeled and dated daily, or enroll their children in our monthly food program.  For more information on catering, please click here.

 

Please note, because of the sensitivity of an infant’s diet and to maintain consistency with home feeding regimes, we do not provide any food for Infants under the age of 13 months. Parents are responsible for bringing their child’s food daily.

LadyBug Academy at Merrifield is open Monday - Friday from 7:00am - 6:00pm.

DO YOU CLOSE FOR SUMMER?

No, we are a year-round program. Our academic year runs from September to June. Our summer curriculum follows the same daily schedule as the academic year program. However, in the summer our program is summer activities focused; it is play-based and focused on summer fun like water play and more.

 

HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH PARENTS?

A daily report containing highlights, including feeding and napping schedules, as well as photos from our enrichment activities will be sent to every parent via the Brightwheel app. Parents can register on Brightwheel to monitor their child’s activity at LadyBug Academy.

Yes. All our employees undergo a fingerprint criminal background check and sex offender background check prior to employment for all states they lived in the past 5 years.

LadyBug Academy prioritizes the siblings of enrolled students within our enrollment decisions. We also offer sibling privilege and provide a 10% tuition discount for a 2nd child and 15% discount for any additional children.

 

WHAT IS YOUR INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY?

We follow the Fairfax Public Schools inclement weather policy. In the case of inclement weather, we will provide families with updated information via Brightwheel, our website, and the weather hotline as quickly as possible and typically by 6:00pm the day before the possible weather-related closure..
