Daycare in Bristow VA at Braemar

My name is Lois Hatchett-Pritchett, and I would like to introduce myself as your director at The Merit School of Braemar . I was born in Bronx, New York, and have a B.A. degree from The College of New Rochelle. I have 25 years of experience in the field of Early Childhood Education as an Assistant Teacher, Lead Teacher, and Director. I was very active in the childcare center that both my girls attended.  I was involved on all three levels of leadership in a New York Daycare for the past five years.

I enjoy reading, walking, dancing, listening to music, cooking, movies, and alone time.  I am a recently married newlywed (7/16/22) to a nice and supportive husband.  Collectively we have six children ranging in ages from 20 to 35.  I have worked with children from the time I was young.  I have two special needs brothers with Cerebral Palsy, one of whom lives with me and my family. My husband and children have great affection for him and feel honored to care of him.

My favorite part of the day is when the children are actively engaged in what they are doing in class.  The look of excitement when they discover something new makes me feel accomplished. I am motivated every day by the children.  As an educator, you always want to know that you are making a difference.    I am often approached by former students when they remind me of ways I have impacted their lives, and for this I am very thankful.  Children are a gift.  I want to thank all the families at my school for sharing their gifts with us.
