What a wonderful start to a new school year at Compass Point Preschool! 💙
The first few days have been filled with new faces, new friends, big smiles, and lots of exciting discoveries! From exploring our classrooms to learning new routines, playing, creating, and getting to know one another, our little learners are already settling in and making special memories. 🥰
We know those first days can bring a few tears—and that’s okay! We are so proud of our little ones as they learn that school is a place where they are loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow. ❤️
Here’s to a year full of learning, laughter, friendship, and fun! We’re so glad you’re here! 🎨🧸📚🌈
Welcome to Compass Point Preschool—we’re going to have an amazing year! 💙

Chesterfield First Steps had a wonderful time participating in the Chesterfield County Library's Reading Revolution event today in Chesterfield!
Reading opens the door to imagination, learning, and lifelong success, and we were excited to join families and community partners in celebrating the joy of books and literacy.

The Reading Revolution continues all week long with events taking place throughout Chesterfield County. We encourage families to bring their children out to enjoy fun activities, discover new books, and create lasting memories together.

Don't miss this great opportunity to inspire a love of reading in your little ones. We hope to see you at one of the many events happening across the county this week!

At Compass Point Preschool, learning happens everywhere.

Splashing, scooping, pouring, and giggling — our 3-year-old classroom had the BEST time exploring outdoor water table play last week! 💦☀️

Water play is more than just fun — it helps little learners build fine motor skills, practice sharing, explore early science concepts, and stay cool while enjoying the sunshine. Watching their imaginations grow through play is one of our favorite parts of the day!

Our thanks to the 3K teachers - Ms. Chelle and Mrs. Leanna for all you do all school year!

A big thank‑you to all the families who joined us for our Compass Point Preschool math gathering! The children had a great time exploring numbers through hands‑on games, puzzles, and playful challenges. It was wonderful to see families working together, laughing, and celebrating each child’s problem‑solving skills. Moments like these show just how fun learning can be when we do it as a community.
