The Portals
Premier Enrichment Clubs and Labs @ The Portals, SW DC
Admission to The Portals is intended to be welcoming, flexible, and straightforward. Instead of following a traditional school admissions process, enrollment is based on program availability and family interest. This approach allows children to engage in enriching experiences that seamlessly fit into their schedules.
The Portals offers carefully designed enrichment programs and select seasonal experiences for children who would benefit from small-group learning, character development, and confidence-building in calm, supportive environments.
Families can enroll in individual sessions, multi-week programs, or seasonal offerings based on availability. Space is intentionally limited to maintain the quality of the experience.

What our Parents are saying
"Words can’t describe how appreciative I am of the Britleys. We moved from LA to DC and our daughter began to attend the Britleys at 1 year old. She is now 2 years old and sings songs and counts in Spanish and Mandarin. They frequently visit museums and have a wonderful curriculum! She has built great friendships and loves her teachers. We are so grateful for the impacts on her cognitive, social, and emotional development! Thank you to all the amazing teachers at the Britleys!!"
-Sarah J.
"The Britleys is a wonderful first 'school' experience for toddlers and parents. My daughter started just over a year of age as one of the youngest kids and really blossomed under the loving care of Gloria and her staff of teachers. They plan engaging activities and lessons and obviously really care about your kids, which is a huge relief for parents. They have great hours and are very good at giving each child what they need."
-Tayla
"I cannot say enough good things about the Britleys! Gloria and her staff are amazing with our son! We moved from Atlanta and they made the whole process seamless. Our son has flourished in their care. I trust everyone at the school completely with my son everyday! My son is excited every morning to go to school!"
