This post is long overdue, but as my daughter started kindergarten last week, I had to prioritize…read morethis huge Thank You to Jen and all of the Teachers at Beantree. 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.

We purchased a Groupon for a couples massage class and it was a great experience! The building is a…read morelittle tricky to find and half of the building is still under construction so that was a little off putting at first but as soon as we walked into the office, we were introduced to Mel and he has so much energy and is so excited about the session that he immediately put us at ease. We were a bit skeptical that the session was going to be 4 hours from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. We just didn't understand how we could be there for so long. I will tell you how, you learn the basics of massage and then you have a lot of time to practice on each other. We started with a short twenty minute lecture and then moved on to the basics of massage on a chair - starting with the head and shoulders and then moving to the massage beds. We probably spent 45 minutes in each position which made the time fly by. What I would suggest if you are taking the class is to eat before you go (we were rushing in the morning and didn't have time) and also drink lots of water before, during, and after!! It was a great way to spend a Saturday and to reconnect with my husband!

It may not be the ambience of some of the fancy med spas, but they have high-quality product and very dedicated students and staff who ensure you have a perfect facial. As the students learn, they recommend little add-ons for free with the facial and all facials last an hour because there's a massage of the shoulders and back. Unbelievable. Strongly recommend for people who want to be pampered, want to have great skin, but don't really have a budget for $100.

Yelp has yet to remove her business from this category, so if you are going to reach her regarding dog training or behavioral consultation, just save her the headache of telling you she can't do it anymore, and do not call her!

If you have found Veronica, there's no need to search any more. As a first time dog owner, I…read moreadopted a four month old puppy and promptly sprained my ankle severely two days later. On crutches (and later in a boot), I felt confident for about a week until all 20-25 of my books on dogs started to fail me miserably. There's really nothing like experience, and Veronica has plenty of that. Additionally, she responded very quickly to my phone call (after five accidents in one day and ferocious puppy nipping, I was desperate). Her prices are EXTREMELY reasonable (especially in the D.C. area) for the quality of training and AKC certification (contingent on at home follow up), as well as she is a lovely person! Training was fun to go to for me and Teddy, who now has his AKC Puppy STAR. She has worked with ATF and DHS, and is a POSITIVE dog trainer, which is critically important, as I knew I wanted to train positively but did not completely understand the consequences of using a shock collar (Veronica explained the why using data from scientific studies). TL;DR - work with Veronica, as she is a phenomenal person as well as a great dog trainer. She helped me train my dog incredibly well (we get compliments all the time, people always think he's older than he is) and also helped me to manage being a first time dog owner. I recommend her to everyone I know.

From very hands on and nurturing teachers / caregivers to the very engaged new management, my son is always very excited and positive about school. He has forged strong friendships with children that he has been with since infancy. I like the structured nature of day for each class, as it encourages children to understand that there is playtime, learning time, eating time, and sleep time and that creates a degree of discipline and instruction-following that helps me to reinforce at home. We've been attending from the time of the earlier management to the current. While there were some growing pains that resulted from that changeover, I never once felt as if the degree of care for my child diminished. I would likely not have been aware of any changes at all had the new owners and manager not been very transparent with me from the beginning. As a parent, I feel very respected here.
