The lunch staff and custodial staff are friendly and remember the kids names. The principal is in his second year at Penn. He has made a lot of changes to the look and feel of the school. The kids and parents are always welcome to talk to him at events. Great teachers at all grade levels from pre-K to 5th. I can't say enough about the staff at this school. There is a lot of parental involvement. There are a lot of events throughout the year for the students from field trips, movie night, ice cream social, science fair, reading fair, spelling bee, gym nights, spirit night at local restaurants, and more. There is a great deal of emphasis on the whole child...education, community, health and fun! I still have 3 years left and plan to keep my last two at Penn. I am a PTO member and a huge school volunteer. Penn is a great place to learn and grow.

He enjoyed his kindergarten teacher this year and she was very attentive to his academic needs and behavior socially. She kept in touch with me when he was struggling in areas. Very secure with him going here. First time parenting is nerve wrecking and they all handle it well, especially the ladies in the front office, principle always called back within 3 hrs or less whenever I called in with a concern. If you're in this area, this is a very good school.

I cant say enough good things about the administration and staff at Bel Air. They are always open to listen to the parents. They do award ceremonies to reward the students for good work. They make school fun yet they enforce the rules. They have quality teachers and the secretary Ms Evelyn is so friendly. My son excelled at Bel Air. Great school!

I like this school but it has it's problems, the teachers didn't watch my special education son and…read moresaid. "Come pick up your son he hit his head." They could've prevented it but they didn't. I don't recommend putting your kids in that school. But it has its advantages. Some kids enjoy this school. They have decent lunch, there's a book vending machines or something like that. If you have special education kids I would not recommend, but if you have kids and your nearby Dumfries VA I would recommend. Thank you for taking your time to read this review.

I observed a concern & tried to address it to her but instead of finding out a better way to fix it, she went on the Offensive. I will not go into details due to the children safety & security but the principle is aware of it & she chose not to be bothered with it. As a school principle, she should learn how to take constructive criticism better & not go on the offensive everytime a concerned parent brings up an issue. Another problem is lunch, it is only 30 min, by the time the kids wait in line & got their food, they only have about 10 min to eat. My child said she wasn't finished with her food & a staff took away her fork while she was eating. After school program is ok but they need to clean the place better, basquets where kids put their bookbags are filthy. Teachers need to monitor the kids 'coz the kids open door for anyone that walks by. Unsafe! They need a better system.

He was only there a lil over two months. During that time I witness 4 teachers quit during the two months my son was there. The owner of the place Ms. Cynthia lives in NC. She's cheap and would hire anybody. The facility itself is old and not sanitary at all!!! They have roaches and mice running rampant. (See picture)The picture attached is from mice poop left on a child sleeping mat. There has been multiple complaints about this place and I don't understand why is it still open. The Director Ms. Gene had the nastiness attitude. Shes old and had a number of health issues and shouldn't be working there. She would scream and yell at the kids all day long. My son would come there every day in a good mood and when I came to pick him up he would be crying. Ms Gene would have him isolated in the back room by himself until I would come pick him up and he would be crying the entire time. The last day my son was there she decided to video tape my son crying without my permission! I am currently in the process of filing a complaint. Worse preschool ever!!!
