Our family is so grateful that we found the MPC Early Learning Center. We searched throughout the…read morearea for a nurturing play-based program and we found it here. My son had primarily been at home with me prior to starting preschool, so I was especially concerned about socialization. The school has a large outdoor playground and indoor playground equipment for rainy days. The kids get tons of physical activity as well as time to imagine and role-play and learn how to get along with one another. The classrooms have lots of different centers and educational toys that promote fine motor and problem-solving skills. They do LOTS of hands-on activities and crafts as well as circle time and show-and-tell. The learning is so organic. The kids are relaxed and having fun while learning all the things they will need to have a great start in kindergarten. The director is one of the most positive and energetic people I've ever met. She promotes tons of fun, kid-friendly activities and events. She has been a part of the school since her now-grown children were students there. I was also impressed by how long so many of the teachers have been there. All together, they create a wonderful and supportive environment for the kids. I've also loved getting to know the other families who are part of the school. From the Christmas program to a parent/child dance to the spring art show to the trike-a-thon, there are so many exciting things to do as a family that give us a chance to experience the school, and the fun, along with our son. We are thrilled with our choice and we look forward to being a part of the school with both of our kids.

They offer classes from ages 18mo to 5 yrs, including a Jr K program for students who miss the cutoff date for kindergarten or who would benefit from an extra year.

We ended up at Merit when my son's previous school had closed. It was a blessing in disguise. Of…read morecourse this all happened right before we had to travel, but the staff helped me get registered effortlessly. I really feel that everyone at Merit cares very much about the kids. I haven't met a person that wasn't smiling or enthusiastic with the kids yet. The teachers get children up to speed without stressing you or the child out about it. My son talks about all of the interesting things that he is learning and leaves with the biggest smile each day. I can tell that he is happy here (and he used to be a clinger at drop-off!)

Not only did I work here during a few summers, I also attended this place for pre-school…read more this is such an amazing pre-school with an amazing staff (not being biased). the summer camp program is amazing. the food is amazing. the chefs in the kitchen are friendly and always cook delicious food for the children. this is a family owned day care that has been around forever. the building has cameras on the outside and inside.. along with access cards for the parents to enter the building (for safety). the summer camp program is quite fun and im sure any child would love it. from what i remember... every Monday during the summer the children would go roller skating at a nearby roller rink that was rented out. Then every Tuesday the children would go to a family owned miniature golf place. Wednesdays would be pool day.. spend half the day with the children at the local public outdoor pool. thursdays would be bowling day.. get to go bowling at the local bowl america. fridays would be movie and event day.. movies in the morning.. and events in the afternoon (fair, petting zoo, circus, magic show, etc.). definitely send your child there if you live in the area! sure beats those other summer camp programs!

The curriculum that they teach the children is fascinating. My 3 year old comes home and the things he tells me that he learned that day are mind-blowing! The projects that they do are so cool. I know he will be ready for kindergarten when he is 5, without a doubt. His teachers, Miss Claudia and Miss Amrita are AMAZING. They are so engaged with the students and there is no better feeling than knowing he is the best hands while I am at work. They truly love the kids- and that is so important when working in childcare. They handle any incidents that happen appropriately, and are so good about letting you know about it. They also tell me stories about what my son has said or done during the day which is just so cool and makes you feel good. The director, Mrs. Desiree is awesome too. She doesn't just sit at a desk collecting money like other places - you will see her walking the halls and talking to the kids (which she knows almost all, if not all of them by name)!!! My only regret is that I wish we had found this place sooner!! My son has improved so much since we enrolled him here, the difference in his knowledge from here vs. his old preschool is amazing. I can not express how much we love this place and how much our son enjoys going here.

She said "it depends" and looked like a dear in headlights. I said oh what?? She asked what school my child attended then said uhhhh I don't think we have availability- we're probably all booked..... I walked out. What on earth.

My first choice was booked at the last minute and I wasn't prepared at all but The MS of OTM quickly accepted both my babes and offered me a small discount for enrolling. The staff at this daycare tend to my babies as though they were their own. Offering the much needed support as a first time mother and giving me advise when needed. They are now 7 months old and I know that it's because of the ladies in the infant class that my preemies have developed and grown as much as they have. It also doesn't hurt that they are directly across the street from the Manassas City Police Department! I know my twins are safe and secure here and I'm glad I made the choice I did.

The small class sizes and one on one treatment that they offer our son makes me feel good about decision to enroll him. The center Director, Carey, has the perfect tone and demeanor for dealing with our young toddlers. She seems to always know what to say to calm down our 4year old when he feels fussy, and that is a task in itself. The staff is extremely attentive and you can tell that they truly care about caring for our young while we are busy with our adult lives throughout the day. Soon he will be starting Kindergarten there, and we could not be more excited. I cannot recommend this school enough to parents with young children.

My mother had watched our daughter for the first year and I was very nervous to now be bringing her to a daycare / school. She started out in the baby room and adjusted very quickly to her new environment. The teachers were wonderful in distracting her while I snuck out of the room. I think it was harder on me than her. Over the past 3 years, she has moved up to the 4 year old classroom and still wants to stop by the little classrooms and say hi to the teachers. The turnover rate for teachers is extremely low. Whenever there is a new teacher, they immediately come over to introduce themselves. The teachers are outstanding! The director Melissa and the assistant director Tawanna are amazing. Whenever I have had a question, they are always available to answer my questions and I do not feel rushed. Both of them know everyone's name... both children and parents. They have a structured lesson plan and lots of events throughout the day from reading, circle time, and tons of different stations. My 4 year old knows simple addition, her letters, can count in English and Spanish, knows a lot of Spanish words (and has even taught me) and also some sign language. She is even spelling simple words. She will be more than ready for kindergarten when the time comes. I became very sick last year and everyone in the center was very supportive in helping me any way I needed. I do not think I would have had this support anywhere else. While I was sick, I continued to drive her out to this daycare (over 35 minutes from home) instead of moving her closer to home (which would have been easier on me) but I did not want to take her anywhere else. Everyone is truly dedicated to the care and safety of the children. I have met many of the other children's parents and have become friends with them over the years. We are always at one of the children's birthday parties throughout the year. I absolutely would recommend this center (and have) to anyone looking for a "warm, family oriented" environment.

The center is also has very strict COVID guidelines and managed to get our son to wear a mask the entire day. I am very happy with our son's progress and development.

The director is young and inexperienced and hasn't been given the appropriate training or guidance in her position. She could thrive if she was given these skills. However, parents are spoken to passive aggressively, bribed with writing positive reviews to get $100 removed from 1 weeks tuition, the handbook is shoved down our throats, but not even followed by the center. I'm so disheartened by the way Nanda's went down hill. We're grateful to be parting ways with Nanda's and wish the director gets what she needs to be successful, have the kids treated kindly, and build the morale of the childcare center.
