Early Childhood Education Franchise Set to Open Spring 2025 Brings Well-Rounded Program to the Community

STAFFORD, VA – Celebree School, a leader in early childhood education that provides infant and toddler care, preschool, before and aftercare, and summer camp programs, recently held an official ground breaking event for its newest school set to open at  24 Center St. Stafford, VA 22556 in Spring 2025. The new school will provide a customized program that addresses the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of children, while adhering to Virginia’s early education standards.

Enrollment is now open, and community members are encouraged to contact Celebree School for tours, visits, and more information. Celebree School of Stafford offers childcare programs to families in the surrounding area.

“We proudly welcome Celebree School to Stafford County,” said Tinesha Allen, Stafford County Griffis-Widewater District Board of Supervisor. “Their dedication to nurturing and educating young minds aligns perfectly with our community values, and their decision to invest here reflects the incredible growth and potential of our area. This groundbreaking is not just the start of a new school; it’s the beginning of a brighter future for the families and children of Stafford.” 

The new school is owned by husband and wife, Nam and Moonhee Doan. Moonhee is currently a PhD in Education candidate and has worked in elementary schools for over a decade as a classroom teacher, gifted education specialist for grades K-6, and an assistant principal in Fairfax. With a strong background in education, Moonhee has seen firsthand what happens when children have access to high-quality preschool – they are ready, confident, and capable of collaborating, communication, and problem-solving. 

“As a parent and educator, I understand that schools are a part of the family system and together in partnership we can truly bring an experience that sets our children up for lifelong success,” said Moonhee. “Our team of 30-plus dedicated teachers is empowered to make a true impact on children’s lives. Each teacher is committed to fostering a safe, nurturing, and positive learning environment – an environment built on trust, transparency, and the highest standards of care. We believe that the key to early childhood success lies not only in curriculum but also in creating deep, meaningful connections with each child and their family, and we can’t wait to open our doors.” 

Celebree School lives by its promise to Grow People Big and Small™, and was founded on the belief that success in early childhood development is equal parts curriculum and a connection that extends beyond the classroom to address the needs of the whole child and the whole family. Each Celebree School is a village made up of parents, children, and educators while providing curriculum-based care that prepares your child for kindergarten and beyond. 

Programs are available for children six weeks to 12 years old with unique curriculums designed to develop positive social skills and values while allowing children to learn about their world through age-appropriate play, projects, and activities. Care is available part time or full time and parents are allowed to drop in and visit at any time.  

“We’re honored to continue to help brilliant entrepreneurs like Moonhee actualize their business goals and have them join our Celebree School family,” said Richard Huffman, Founder and CEO of Celebree School. “As we continue to expand our brand’s footprint through franchising, it’s more important than ever that we join forces with local community leaders who have a passion for early childhood education. The groundbreaking for Moonhee’s school brings me immense pride and joy. I know she is the perfect franchise partner to drive our mission forward.”
