About Bundle of Joy Preschool Programs in Mechanicsville, VA

Bundle of Joy’s childcare and preschool program is designed to serve the needs of the child and family. We recognize ourselves as partners to the parents, working together to help encourage each child to progress at his/her own pace. Our staff encourages positive self-confidence, self-esteem, competence in self-help skills, and those inner controls and language abilities necessary for effective social interaction. These social competencies will prepare children for their elementary school days. 

Our preschool programs in Mechanicsville, VA emphasize the process of learning and discovery. Daily activities are designed to encourage children to act upon their environment. We provide an environment rich in materials to explore, manipulate, and discuss. 

Children are guided to question, discover, think, and reason in our early childhood development program. No single area of development is stressed above another. Bundle of Joy promotes the growth of the whole child, emotionally, physically, socially, and intellectually to prepare them for elementary school. Beginning October 25th, Bright Horizons Back-Up Care will be added to our programs.

Excellence in Quality of Care

The best way to describe Bundle of Joy is that we are focused on excellence in quality of care, education, and best practices in the area of early childhood education. We work with state and local agencies, other local preschools and early education programs, as well as higher education programs to help us evaluate our programs. We create a learning community where children develop skills as building blocks to the next level of education.

We focus on creating a fun learning environment that promotes each child’s school-readiness skills and prepares them for elementary school. 

Child Care Aware

We now have a partnership with Child Care Aware, a national membership-based nonprofit dedicated to advancing a high-quality, affordable, and equitable child care system that fosters children’s growth, development, and early education.

Our Early Childhood Education Programs

Bundle of Joy provides Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Pre-Kindergarten, and Afterschool care services to approximately 600 children and employs approximately 125 staff members. We are and continue to remain focused on ways to best meet the needs of the families of Virginia. We prepare children to thrive in future learning endeavors and emphasize social, academic, and physical development. 

When you visit any of our schools you will quickly see we are not a daycare. We are very much a school program offering structure and opportunities for creativity. With the help and partnership of our families and wonderful, dedicated staff members, we are able to do what we love to do each day by providing a place where children can grow and learn while they are in a safe and nurturing environment. Kids love coming to Bundle of Joy Child Development Center each day. 

We believe that developmentally appropriate early childhood experiences foster wonder and a life-long love of learning. We also believe that children build upon their existing knowledge through inquiry and shared experiences. Therefore, we strive to provide authentic learning opportunities through creativity and purposeful play. Parental involvement is highly encouraged to promote community collaboration and give children opportunities to share their new skills.

Kari Hicks

School Director

I moved to Mechanicsville June of 2020 with my fiancé, Tim, my three children, Alaina, Sylvie, and Timothy, and our loving, sweet pit bull, Shammy.
I began my early childhood education journey in high school and have been in it ever since. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education Leadership Cum Laude September 2022. I enjoy travelling, and my favorite destination, so far, is Thailand. I can’t wait to see more of the world and enjoy the culture each place has to offer.
My passion for creating safe and loving environments for children is deeply rooted in my own childhood experiences with adversity. I believe that every child deserves a place where they are surrounded by adults like the ones I needed as a child. They should feel cherished and secure. It is my heartfelt mission to provide a nurturing space where young minds can flourish, learn, and thrive. Through my role, I aim to instill joy, love and a sense of belonging in each child.

I have known Mary and Kari for many years and cannot say enough positive words about them. They truly care about the kids that attend BOJ Bell Creek. They have always greeted me with a smile and willingness to help in anyway they can. The kids always seem to enjoy activities they plan! We love them very much!
