We’ve entrusted Learning Paths Academy at Heathcote with the early education of our two daughters, one of which has graduated from and who is a gifted 3rd grader. Our other daughter is still in Learning Paths Academy Heathcote’s care and really loves her teachers and classroom. She comes home with fun stories everyday. The school staff and administration are top notch, helpful, and professional as they come. I can’t recommend this school enough as it has a family feel and is a safe and happy place for your children.

Kristi Fisher
About Me

My name is Kristi Fisher and I would like to introduce myself as your center director at Learning Paths Academy at Heathcote. I have 25 years of experience in the early childhood field, including 15 wonderful years with LLE Education Group. I am also currently working toward my AA degree through Northern Virginia Community College, just a few more classes to go! I grew up right here in Northern Virginia, and today I am the proud mom of a 16-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter. In my spare time, I love exploring new places and trying new experiences with my family. One of the joys of my career has been watching so many children grow—from babies in my classroom to young adults who are now parents themselves. It’s truly amazing! I also cherish the everyday moments: when children arrive or leave for the day, they often come to me for a big hug, and I love being able to say, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to know your child is receiving the best possible care, care that supports not only learning, but emotional connection and meaningful interactions. My goal is to create a warm, engaging, and safe environment where every child feels valued and excited to learn. We are committed to incorporate the goals of JOY, GROWTH, and COMMUNITY at Learning Paths Academy at Heathcote. Respectfully, Kristi Fisher, Director
