Parr’s Ridge & Mt. Airy Elementary School

ABC Care Center – Parr’s Ridge & Mt. Airy Elementary School

Serving Pre-K through 5th grade students from both Parr’s Ridge Elementary and Mount Airy Elementary, our center provides a warm, creative, and supportive environment for every child. Students from Mount Airy Elementary take the bus to and from Parr’s each morning and afternoon, so both school communities come together in one welcoming space.

Each day, our teachers lead hands-on art and STEM activities that encourage creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. Students love expressing themselves through daily crafts and experimenting with exciting STEM projects that make learning fun.

To support emotional growth and well-being, our center includes six designated “soft spot” areas for emotion regulation—cozy spaces where children can take a break, reset, and recharge when needed.

At Parr’s Ridge, we take pride in creating an environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally—all while having fun and feeling at home.
