Children's Science Center Lab

The Children’s Science Center Lab is Northern Virginia’s first interactive museum where children, families, and school groups can explore science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) concepts through fun, engaging hands-on exhibits, activities, and programs. The mission is to instill a love of learning STEM by providing unique opportunities to explore and create. The Lab has four experience zones (Experiment Bar, Tinker Shop, Discovery Zone, and Inspiration Hub) that change exhibits and activities monthly. The Lab’s “Garage” is a flex-space in our center for camps, classes, workshops, parties, and mini expositions to showcase regional STEM talent in-action among area youth and families. Celebrate your child’s birthday party at the Children’s Science Center Lab! Your party will include STEM educators, hands-on activities, and a whole bunch of exploration, inspiration, and fun! The Lab now offers three timed entry sessions as followed: Tickets are available for purchase now! Save $2 per ticket when reserving online at childsci.org/tickets.

Harrison Street Academy

Harrison Street Academy is the first academic S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) based preschool in Leesburg! We offer full and half day options for children ages 2.5 -5. Before and after school care is also available. We incorporate a proven curriculum throughout various play, technology, music, and science sessions. Our techniques encourage curiosity and exploration in children. Our modern yet cozy facility serves as the right environment to deliver a fun learning experience! The pairing of Abeka curriculum with S.T.E.A.M. learning is a beautiful combination. We have found that a well balanced schedule and program prepares our children to be able to move through the ups and downs of life with tools for success. We are also proud to offer Brightwheel, a tool that significantly helps teachers & administrators manage their classrooms, observe & track the children, communicate with you, and share photos and videos. This tool makes it easy for parents to check in, get updates, and pay tuition.
