Best place for my kid ! I cannot say enough about the…read morecenter and all it's staff. The head of the center Miss Hala is a lovely lady is always there for all our questions, goes out of her way to accommodate any requests and makes sure all the kids and parents are comfortable. I once asked for the syllabus of the next stages and it was sent to me the very same day. Miss Lisa at the front desk is the face of the center, always smiling, knows each kid and wait for it most parents names as well (She knows my and my husband's name and can even recognize our voice over the phone.. great customer service) She is amazing and we love to interact with her. Miss Nicole is awesome as well. Also knows all the kids names and she is always running around getting things done! There is not a single question I have had that she couldn't answer. Love that the staff is so well acquainted and skilled. Now for the teachers. My child has been in the infant's room since he turned 4 months. As a working mom, it was really hard for me to part ways with such a small baby but Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala put all my fears to rest. They are the most loving teachers/care takers that my kid could ever have. They treat my boy as family and are always there to welcome him with open arms. He loves cuddling with them :) makes me slightly jealous that he loves them so much.. haha. Both Ms. Hind and Ms. Kamala have taught him a lot, and are so particular about his diaper changes and meals. I remember showing up earlier one day and my boy was eating a nice warm meal (home cooked one which I sent). I was pleasantly surprised that they cared enough to warm it before feeding him the purees. They also sometimes suggest on what I should start feeding him at home at each stage. Love this informal setting while still being really professional in the way they approach things. The app feature is amazing and makes me feel a lot better that I can see each notification on when my child ate and was changed and slept along with fun pics. Among the floaters, we really like Miss Zorina and Miss Farah. Very polite staff and love the amount of detailed attention they give to my baby. All in all this center gets an A+ from this mommy and we will keep our kid here till we can!

We've toured almost all of the reputable daycare centers around the area and found Bright Horizons…read moreat Boone to be the best choice for us. Coming from a Nanny and due to personality/preferences, our child had a very hard time adjusting to being in a group care setting at first but his current teacher here made a world of a difference. She is loving, kind, nuturing, and very patient. Most of the teachers here seem to be nice as well. We truly really like this center in general and continue to be happy with our decision. In addition to a curriculum that is fun, engaging and fosters learning with a good amount of structure, the Director Ms Hala ensures the place is kept orderly and clean. They have actual separate classrooms for each class/different age groups, which makes it organized and more structured, as we've seen it can get chaotic and disruptive having a one big open space without separate rooms (at other centers). Love the fact that breakfast, lunch, and PM snack is all provided, very well-balanced planned out meals. They have a very nice indoor gym play area as well as a nice outdoor playground. Another plus is that they are very current with technology. There's an app that we get updates of all of the meal and diaper/bathroom stats, along with pictures throughout the day each day. They are very good with communicating updates through emailing weekly Parent Newsletters of what's going on and what's coming up in each of the classes. The center celebrates holidays such as Mother's and Father's Day, Valentines, etc. and makes it a fun environment as well. We are happy with the staff that we interact with including Ms Hala (the director), Ms Lisa (the front desk business manager) who is so helpful and answers every question and concern thoroughly, as well as Ms. Anita and Ms. Simi (current teachers), who really put their hearts into caring for the kids in the class. Our little one is very happy here. Cost is on the higher side but totally worth it for the peace of mind and a healthy, thriving, and clean environment for our little one! I have to say while touring the many daycare centers in our area, this and only one other Bright Horizons (Greensboro) gave me a true warm feeling where I could feel that my child would be safe, comfortable, and clean, and that I could actually leave my child there.

Our family has had the incredible fortune of having both our kids attend Falls Church Preschool &…read morePre-k (Falls Church Location) over the past 5-6 years, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Both my children have attended for the past 5-6 years, and every single year has reinforced why we chose this school in the first place. From the moment you walk in, you can feel that this is a place built around genuine care for children -- not just a place that watches them, but one that truly loves and nurtures them. The teachers are, without exaggeration, incredible. They are patient, warm, endlessly encouraging, and clearly love what they do. Our kids have always come home excited to talk about their day, which says a lot about how engaged and happy they feel in the classroom. Every teacher we've encountered over the years has treated our children as individuals, celebrating their personalities and helping them grow at their own pace. Academically and developmentally, the program is exceptionally well-rounded. The kids are exposed to a wonderful mix of cultural activities, practical life skills, and physical education, all woven into a curriculum that keeps them engaged and constantly learning. They even take French lessons, which has been such a lovely bonus and has sparked genuine curiosity in our kids about language and other cultures. The school also puts on the most adorable productions -- dance recitals, music performances -- and you can tell real time and heart goes into preparing the kids for these events. It's clear the staff wants every child to feel proud and included, regardless of skill level. It has been fun to see my children during the first one to the last one and see how they come out of their shell more too. Physical activity and outdoor time are also a big priority. The kids get to play outside frequently, including daily time outside to the nearby park, which gives them plenty of fresh air, movement, and unstructured play time -- something we really value. One thing that stands out most to us also is how seriously the school takes safety and security. Every policy and procedure feels thoughtfully designed with the children's well-being in mind, from secure drop-off and pick-up protocols to how the classrooms and outdoor spaces are supervised. As a parent, it's reassuring to know that safety isn't an afterthought here -- it's built into everything they do. This has been especially meaningful for us because our son has a food allergy. The school has been outstanding in how they manage it -- from clear communication with staff, to careful attention during snack and lunch times, to making sure substitute teachers and staff are all aware and prepared. We've never once felt anxious dropping him off, which is not something we can say about every environment he's been in. On top of all of this, communication from Mrs. Elena has been excellent throughout our entire experience. Whether it's daily updates, event reminders, or larger updates about policies or schedules, we've always felt informed and included as parents. Overall, this school has played such a meaningful role in our children's early years. I felt compelled to write this review, which I don't do often, given how awesome this school and teachers are! We are endlessly grateful for the teachers and Mrs. Elena (and Ken) for an incredible school they've built, and we would recommend this school without hesitation to any family looking for a nurturing, safe, and enriching environment for their children. My son graduates to Kindergarten at the end of August and I very sad to leave as we have grown so close!

I feel that it is important for them to be in a nurturing environment that promotes not only exposure to another language, but supports them as individuals. The small class sizes offer them the opportunity to participate and to be heard; it is indeed a school, not a daycare. The staff is supportive and keep parents updated on the children's progress. The children use their language skills and often try to test some of us in the family that speak Spanish, as well as correct us. "Si", I would encourage all parents who are interested in an immersion program for your children to explore this school! "Abuelita"
