Love, Laugh and Learn is a private, in-home preschool located in the Red Mill area of Virginia Beach, owned and operated by Melissa Knightes, M. Ed.

"At Love, Laugh and Learn I strive to create a learning environment where the children can explore, create and learn through play.  I provide quality age-appropriate instruction through fun hands-on, child-centered activities and lessons."

                                       Melissa Knightes, M. Ed.

Our Daily schedule encompasses play-based learning centers which include, writing, math, science, dramatic play, sensory play, a block center, and more.  Our group activities include, Circle Time, art, music and movement, yoga, gardening, library, and STEM.

Because social-emotional growth is just as important as academic skills, we spend a great deal of time learning to cooperate, take turns, communicate needs, resolve conflict, gain self-control and manage strong emotions.

The end result is an enriching classroom environment where children feel nurtured and safe, enabling them to master the academic and social skills necessary for a successful transition to Kindergarten!
