They speak to your children in a way that allows them to rise to their full potential. My kids love their teachers and I can tell the teachers love my kids too. I like how they have a teacher that specializes in each subject that the kids rotate to just like they will do in middle and high school. So they've got experts in each subject area teaching the kids. The playground is also fantastic. All in all my kids love going to Winwood and we wouldn't have them be anywhere else.

There aren't enough good things I can say about Imagination Learning Center. We have been with the…read moreChantilly center for more than a year now, and are so happy we chose this wonderful place. We've experienced every classroom from the baby room through the 5-year old room. The Director and Assistant Director are extremely understanding and compassionate. They really understand the challenges of working parents and they continuously strive to make parents' lives easier. The teachers are such loving people. They care very deeply about the children's growth and happiness. Every morning, at least three teachers hug my children when we arrive! Some of the teachers have been with the center for 10 or even 20 years. The classrooms are clean, vibrant and engaging. I love the constant updates I receive through the app. When my youngest was a baby, I could see when and how much she ate and slept. And now, I can see all of the books they're reading, the fun activities and trips to the playground. My children come home each day with stories of the art projects they completed, the lessons they learned, and the friends they are making. There are field trips, holiday parities, art and crafts, magicians, snow cone trucks, story time, etc. etc. 5 stars all around!!

This school is pretty amazing! I originally came here another center with my oldest child due to…read morepretty extreme lack of care. The director's (Lisa) genuine concern for my child's well-being and warmth in how she took care of us, before we even officially signed up for the school, is what got us to join. The teachers, learning experiences my child had, flexibility in schedule, and price got us to stay. For the teachers, some have been at the centers going on double digits now, most of the teachers that took care of my son, who grew out of the school, are now taking care of my daughter. My wife has summers off so she has some more time to be with the kids. We wanted to switch to just two days a week and the answer was "Sure not a problem"! I can see by interacting with my kids that they are most certainly learning while they are there, the school is following a curriculum that works. Last but not least, price. It was no more expensive when I switched into Imagination Learning Center (ILC) from the other daycare even though they offered way more. I don't make a boat load of money and could afford 2 kids to go there. The last two things I which I feel are important to say are, 1) They use Brightwheel to send pictures of your child and communications. Its really great that I can have multiple updates a day on how my child is doing. 2) It's a non-profit with a parent run board of directors. The parents actually do have a voice at ILC which to me is amazing and unlike any other center I looked into while I was searching. TL:DR - ILC is a great place with caring teachers and directors who have been there for years, flexible scheduling, and a reasonable price. I would recommend ILC for anyone who needs childcare.

We've had a great experience at Tiny City Academy with our infant. We've been there for about 3…read moremonths so far and he started around 4 months old. The teachers are so loving and clearly care deeply for the kids. My baby bursts into a big smile each morning when we drop him off with his teachers. We get daily updates on bottles/food and diaper changes, plus photos of him solo and him interacting with the other babies in the classroom. The facility is clean, and the admins are welcoming and also know the kids by name. We've loved TCA so far and would certainly recommend to other parents!

I was very nervous seeing as we had an issue at the last center my children attended. Ms. Lena and…read moreMs. Maria are fantastic. They were able to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. They were also able to accommodate a start date several days earlier then anticipated. My kids have been here for almost 6 months! And my how they've grown! My daughter has blossomed into a beautiful toddler, helping take care of the other babies, saying good morning and good bye each day to all the teachers and Ms. Maria and Ms. Lena! We can't start the day without a hug. She loved her infant teachers, and her toddler teachers are amazing!!! And my son, he hates when I pick him up early. He enjoys Tiny City and is happy that his class has grown from only a few to many. He's "the man" in the preschool classroom in the evening when they are combined, which he loves. He enjoys helping the other kids.

We can no longer recommend this center. We have removed our child out of safety concerns and…read morereported them to the state and county licensing authorities. The lead teacher of the toddler room, Atsupi Anthony, gave our 16 month old a cup of laundry detergent which she tried to drink, in addition to dish soap and hand soap. The only reason we know it happened is that she sent us a photo of it with a caption describing it. The Friday before this incident we had spoken to the director about other concerns with Ms Anthony's judgement. I observed her yelling to another teacher not to give a toddler food after his cheese stick fell on the floor ("he needs to learn a lesson and not drop he food") He's under 2, kids drop things. The director said she would investigate and counsel Ms Anthony, that we should trust her because she has many years of experience and parents love her. We notified the regional manager about the laundry detergent and Bright Horizons has, in accordance with their HR policy, decided to counsel her and leave her in charge of the class. Their policy is to counsel, reprimand and then terminate. The regional manager said that Ms Anthony doesn't have anything in her record, that the yelling incident was not recorded and they have to start with counseling her. I'm not sure you can counsel good judgement into someone and am not going to let her practice with my child. For these reasons we are concerned that Bright Horizons does not take safety seriously and have chosen to remove her.

Our daughter has been there for the past two years since she started daycare at four months. She loves all of the teachers she has had and is learning so much! My daughter is so happy to be there and we truly feel like her teachers are part of our family too. It makes us feel so great that she enjoys it so much and she is very well taken care of. As first time parents, everyone was so helpful too with our transition to daycare and all of the updates and pictures from the day help us to feel in touch with what is happening in her day.

My daughter attended the Westfields school from 3 months until she was almost five. We moved to Texas in December and the hardest part of the relocation, for all of us, was leaving Beantree. My daughter STILL talks about her friends and teachers, wondering what they are doing, wondering if they miss her. The new pre-school we enrolled her in was great, but there's was always that little something missing that we got during our Beantree years. My daughter is a smart, kind, strong, brave, empathetic, engaging, and compassionate leader. I can't help but thank Beantree for being part of molding her. Of course we take credit as her parents, but she also spent 4 days a week (8-9 hours per day) at school. They reinforced the values we taught her at home . . and we continued the momentum of what she learned at school, it was a partnership. My husband and I are essential workers. They stayed open during the early days of COVID, and she was one of the few that continued with school. I remember watching Ms. Blanca diligently cleaning each chair with a tub of soapy water. It gave me the sense that they cared as much about her health as I did. Just like any relationship, there were a few bumps along the way, but it was nothing major and it was always something we could talk through and agree upon a resolution. I admit that the tuition is quite pricey, but I never had to worry about whether my child was learning or safe. The whole staff was amazing, but I definitely want to shout out the Day 1s that were with her for the entire journey: Ms. Paula, Ms. Rnee, Ms. Ranika, Ms. Sam, Ms. Megan, Ms. Michelle, Ms. 'Nessa, Ms. Tee Tee, Ms. Lauren, Ms. Jean Ms. Amanda, Ms. Danielle, Ms. Katherine, Ms. Anne, Ms. Miranda, Ms. Jacky, Ms. Skylar, Ms. Giatra, Mr. Scott, Ms. Olesya!! Thank you for all you do! Y'all are the real Super Heroes!

My child is no longer at BeanTree only because I changed jobs and location (over an hour away) I…read morejust have to write a second review after now having experienced a few months with another childcare center. I knew even before having to change centers; honestly there is no other childcare center that can compare. I miss BeanTree! Here's some of the main things I love about beantree that I can't find anywhere else: * The education and educators. Even if a school has great curriculum & lesson plans, it's all about the delivery. At BeanTree even in a large class room, smaller groups of children are assigned to one teacher so they receive more customized, one on one care & education. The ratios are also smaller than required by licensing. Every child receives individual attention throughout the day. Teachers form bonds with each child. * Staffing. There are always plenty of friendly, helpful ladies at the front desk to monitor people coming & going and to help. At other daycares, more often than not, the front desk is empty throughout the day. That makes me uncomfortable for more than one reason, even with all the top security measures. Also, at BeanTree there are plenty of teacher floaters who cover for lead teachers breaks. The teachers at BeanTree are provided with several breaks (I found it to be way more than average) that I believe are so necessary. Everyone need time to decompress and prepare lesson plans etc. * Full time cleaning staff. There are ladies dedicated to cleaning the center FT daily. The center is always very clean. * Separate eating areas in each classrooms. The children leave the eating area after meals & the janitorial staff come in to clean so the teachers can concentrate on the children. * Specials included in tuition: music, Spanish & art are provided by a teacher specializing in that subject and in their own separate classroom. When visiting the special rooms, the children are kept in the smaller, assigned groups. Also, visits to the indoor gym, pagoda (kind of another version of indoor gym with a sandbox) & outdoor water park during the summer are all part of your child's daily routine. * sunscreen is provided by the center and applied to every child every time before they go outside. * Diapers/pull-ups, wipes, diaper ointment is provided by the center and diapers are name brand (huggies/pampers) same that I use at home * Regular analysis of your child's milestones/abilities. With each classroom my child went though, I was provided with a report of how she was growing/learning & her milestones etc. they made the report into keepsake posters with photos. Love! Although I now have my child at what I believe to be the best center in the area, I feel her quality of education is way below what she received with BeanTree. Everything is done as a classroom of 20 something 2 year olds. She hardly gets individual attention, none of the children do. The way almost all other centers are ran, it's just not set up for teachers to have the time and ability to spend individual time with each child. She is still in the same age group room (early preschool) but she's is one of the very few children who are fully potty trained where at BeanTree almost all of her friends were also potty trained when she left. I fully credit miss Michelle and miss Morgan at BeanTree - they have a system & it works! I just keep telling myself that her current center is great and if I didn't know any different I would be more impressed with them also haha.

It checked all my boxes of being clean, diverse, and a learning environment but it also was organized. I appreciated that each room had a picture and description of each teacher including their background and how long they have worked there. I also loved that there was a dry erase board with information on next diaper and next bottle. As any new parents, we were nervous about the care anyone would provide that wasn't us. Now being at Chesterbrook for over 6 months with our son, I would absolutely recommend it to anyone! The cleanliness and organization continue to stand out, along with the teachers and principals kindness and love to not only our son but the other children there. They use an app called Links2Home and we get 4-6 pictures on average of our son throughout the day. Communication through the app with the teachers and principals have been quick and responsive to our requests. Recently we had asked them to switch the order in which he eats, bottles first then solids and they adapted within the next feeding time for our son. This past Friday they had a petting zoo and give us monthly finger paintings our son has done. It's difficult to allow someone else to watch your only child but I will say I have seen him blossom and become so social with others as well as seeing his natural joy be nourished with the same love that my partner and I give. Love this place!!

My child has attended the Infant and Toddler 1 programs at Montessori Children's Center-Herndon and…read moreour experience has been phenomenal! This is a nurturing environment where children grow in all aspects of their development. Beginning as infants, children participate in circle time each morning and are exposed to a variety of concepts. As children grow into toddlerhood, they are taught to care for their environment by cleaning their space and pushing in their chair as well as for the people around them by using "please" and "thank you" in their interactions. Gross and fine motor skills are worked on at each developmental stage starting with tummy time to using a writing utensil by toddlerhood. Children develop their language skills through music, offered once a week in English and once a week in Spanish. Classrooms are arranged for materials and activities to be accessed by children independently. Children are provided an opportunity to participate in educational activities of personal choice, following the Montessori approach. Every day my child has been at Montessori Children's Center Herndon, I have been confident they are in excellent hands and they are in an enriched learning environment!
