We came to Potomac Crescent Waldorf School looking for something we couldn't quite name -- and…read morefound it immediately. As a bilingual family raising kids in Northern Virginia, we wanted an environment where learning would feel joyful and rooted. PCWS has delivered that and more. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to going to school every single day. Getting a kindergartener to bound out the door in the morning is its own kind of report card. The faculty and staff don't just tend to the children; they genuinely know each one. The nature-based learning and screen-free environment aligned perfectly with how we want our kids to experience childhood -- but what's kept us is the community. It's one of the most welcoming groups of families and educators we've encountered. If you're searching for a private school in Alexandria that takes the whole child seriously, this is it. One of the top schools in Alexandria for families who care about depth and heart.

She has no respect or education for parents. Last time, she kept questioning a parent and I saw him yelled at him. My child has been bullied and nothing has been done. It is still the same thing. I am glad my child is not coming to this school anymore after it ends in June 2024. I will transfer or move my child to another elementary school. I hope FCPS can do something because its unfair for parents and kids.

I am consistently updated about my son's progress in school and reassured about any concerns or issues. The student body is eclectic and classroom size is fair (he has 16 classmates but two teachers). I attended this school myself from grades 2 through 5 and had a great experience. Highly Recommended.

The Young Children's Classroom (YCC) will always have a special place in my heart as such a loving and caring environment for our child's first school experience. The primary classroom has also been an amazing experience to watch our child grow in knowledge, curiosity and independence. DRMS is the real deal when it comes to having AMI certified lead guides (teachers) in all classrooms. We've appreciated the parent nights that help us transfer Montessori principles and positive discipline into home life. An added bonus of this school is the local community you build with other families and parents. We are so grateful to the friendships we have built and to the other parents who equally support this school and invest in building up the teachers and administration.

So, I have been putting off writing this review for a long time because I truly don't know what I…read morecan write that will express how amazing Telegraph Road KinderCare is, the incredible blessing it has been for our family, and how lucky we feel to have had our kids learn and thrive there. Since 2013 all four of our kids have been lucky to attend Kindercare on Telegraph Road. As new parents, our first kids (boy/girl twins) had great daycare experiences, but when we moved them up to preschool we first had a lot of trouble and the learning curve was steep. We very quickly learned that the most important thing for Pre-School was people people people. After a not-very-good experience with another preschool, we found our way to Kindercare on Telegraph Road and we've never looked back because it has been amazing. In the wake of sending our twins to this Kindercare we've sent both their little brothers, the youngest of which attends now! This Kindercare has changed over the years but the thing that REALLY makes it special are so many of the teachers who REALLY care and love the kids that go there. This Kindercare always seems to have an excellent curriculum, is SUPER good at communication, and most importantly: I know my kids are happy and SAFE there. Even in the wake of COVID, this Kindercare took smart steps to offer as many services and they could as soon as they could and we never worry about whether our little ones are safe there. I don't know about other Kindercares ( know some are different than others) but we have seen firsthand that THIS one is very special. It is a incredibly safe and joyful place to learn and grow. We love Kindercare on Telegraph Road, we love the teachers there, and our kids do too.

Suffice to say that did not happen. We saw almost no change in scores, despite spending many thousands of dollars on tutoring. Instead of admitting that what they were doing was not working, when questioned about the lack of improvement in scores, I was told that it was due to factors outside their control, such as fatigue during the long test, which is not true. I will not be recommending this company to anyone. I would give them zero stars if possible.

Total Waste of Time and Money......Very Bad Experience…read more.. We took our daughter to Huntington because she was struggling in Math and we were looking for a program that would improve her confidence in Math. She was tested and based on the test results they said she needed about 170 hours of Math and Reading Comprehension at the rate of $8300.00. Since payment is required in advance, we signed up for half the hours. What a complete waste of time and money. Our daughter 's grades decreased. The time spent on the 'drill and practice' work at Huntington negatively impacted her school work. So, after we received her report card we asked for a refund. We were refunded about $400.00 out of the $3500.00. It took several months, meetings and a letter to Huntington's corporate office to actually get the refund. BEWARE, the staff and owner seem nice, polite and professional, but the it's all a scam. READ THE CONTRACT and ensure you understand all the terms and conditions.

We've had an incredibly positive experience with Guidepost West Alex…read more Our daughter has thrived in both the Toddler cohort, and now since turning 3, in Children's House. The guides foster an environment of curiosity and learning, and I love hearing our daughter talk about the activities and conversations she has throughout the day. Interactions are positive and numerous. This ranges from warm greetings in the morning to getting updates via Smart Classroom to weekly email updates to 1:1 meetings with the guides. We always feel included and in-the-loop on what's going on in the school broadly and how our daughter is doing specifically. From a leadership and administrative perspective, there has been a positive shift since Ms. Mary started in the Summer of 2022. There is a strong sense of community throughout the school, including after-school and outside-of-school events and meetups. She and her leadership team are always accessible and open. If you notice all the sub-par reviews are old and are from prospective parents. I want to recognize that we experienced some of those same challenges too, however the caveat is that this was with the prior leadership team and during COVID when admissions had a modified onboarding process. As a current parent I have full trust for the guides and administrative team to do what's best for our daughter's physical, emotional, and cognitive safety and development.

Nine months later, we still have not received her refund despite countless phone calls and email follow-ups. At one point they claimed a refund check had been issued and mailed, but they could not provide any documentation when asked. After that, they stopped responding entirely. We never received the check. Now it appears they are switching ownership and are using that as an excuse not to issue the refund. This level of unprofessionalism and stonewalling is infuriating -- we trusted this company and they have betrayed that trust. What a shady, irresponsible company.
