There is never a time that I make an inquiry or voice a concern when it is not addressed promptly! I feel heard, never just dismissed. That is crucial. I sent the following note to management 2 months ago. And I like to wait to post reviews because all too often, you do that and folks start slacking. But no, everything has remained the same excellence! "I just want someone up the line to know that I am overflowing with happiness this week! I have watched [my child] in the app and my heart is filled with warm fuzzies. Ms. Helen and Ms. Wei are rocking the classroom! The children are so engaged! And they are doing so many things! What I am seeing in the app, without even exchanging words, is evidence that [my child] is receiving exactly the care and learning opportunities and adventures that I anticipated when I toured with Ms. Sabrina and opted to switch to this school! The main factors that drew me to Karter was the opportunity for [my child] to move around, not be stuck in one classroom all day and the varying enrichments to keep engaged. THIS is THAT and I LOVE it!! (Lots of exclamation marks, people!) I am very pleased with the situation; Ms. Stephanie is incredible and firm and loving; I have no complaints whatsoever! Maybe it's the candid photography this week that's peaking the good vibes, I just could not stay silent, I'm so glad [my child] is there! Yay Karter School!"

If you're fine with sending your child to a childcare center where the director allows her…read moreson to choke your child and then misuses her authority by suggesting your child should find another center than send your beloved child to Karters Schools-One Loudoun. Aimee who is the director at this location will allow her son to assault your child and do absolutely nothing about it because she refuses to address unacceptable behavior coming from her own child. How can we trust our children in someone's care who operates like this? The family and I will be requesting a video of the assault that occurred on 7/22/24 at approximately 4pm. In-addition, I have email correspondence between Aimee and I regarding the incident where she stated "After viewing the video footage, I was able to get the context of the situation and I too was appalled at how long the situation went for without adult intervention." Please note that these are the exact words that came from Aimee herself. I appreciate her confirming that a copy of the video tapes exists so the family and I can view the video recording of the incident. Regards,

When we were looking for child care options for our daughter back in 2016, I looked at several…read moreschools in the area. Chesterbrook Academy was the one that stood out the most to me for a few reasons. The most important thing was that I felt my child would be safe and loved on while I was away at work. They were also the most reasonably priced once all things were considered. They provide all the food, diapers, and wipes. If you want or need to provide your own supplies, you can bring those in and they will use them for your child specifically. My daughter has been going to this facility since she was 18 months and we have not regretted it at all. They help with potty-training and other cool tricks along the way that help them become more independent and self-sufficient. All of the staff are super friendly and know each child by name. The Infant teachers, both named Marissa, are wonderful - kind and caring. They open the school in the am so if you drop your kids off early, they will be ones to greet you and your child. Our daughter has learned a lot and made friends with many of her classmates. They really encourage children to be socially aware and responsible. The Principal staff have an open door policy which is very encouraging. The school offers Parent's Night Out on a monthly basis which we take advantage of all the time. As long as we are in town our daughter is in attendance! She looks forward to it every month. I recommend every one to go in and talk with the staff and get your questions answered. I was fortunate enough to have my mom watch our daughter until 18 months, but if we didn't have that option, I would have enrolled her at this Chesterbrook location as soon as I had to go back to work from maternity leave. I can call at any time, I can email and get responses almost immediately. They call if there even if my child gets a nose bleed or any other incident. I've recommended them to other friends that are having babies and would recommend them to you as well.

The facility is bright, clean and well cared for. The curriculum is great and my kids have learned so much.

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!

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.

This school is like family. We have only been there a year and so far I am super impressed. My…read moredaughter was having some developmental delays that became more noticable as the school year went on. We worked with Loudoun Co and the special ed system to get her some outside help. The teachers and director at CKCP have been so supportive through this entire process. The teachers have gone above and beyond offering suggestions to help at home, and have even gone out of their way to introduce me to other parents with a similar situation. The director sometimes posts articles on the private website about parent tools and links to parenting blogs that I always enjoy. They have helped me learn to be a better parent. The teachers also post daily pictures and I loooooove seing what my sweet daughter is doing at school. It totally makes my day. My daughter loves going to school so much and even asks for her teachers on the weekends when we go to playgrounds. The price is exceptionally afforable for the 1st rate education she is receiving. The parent group, known as PACK are very involved and host a variety of fundraisers throughout the year including a fall fest with games and a Dr. Seuss themed birthday party for the entire school. I cant wait for another year there. We really have been blessed to find this place.

I can not recommend this school. The teachers are great....or I should say they "were" great but…read morethe director laid off these amazing people! I am heart-broken that they let such wonderful people go and I want the teachers to know that you all touched the hearts of your students and they will always remember you! It was a pleasure to watch my kid make friends and come home excited about the day. The school was recommended to me by other moms because of the great teachers and my child was so excited to go to school here. Now so many wonderful instructors, the heart and soul of the school, are gone. The director is taking the school in a "new direction" as per her email. Many incidents my child had at school during the extended day program called "Afternoon Adventures" were down-played or not mentioned at all because of a fear that they would lose money. Instead, when I asked about my child handling the extended day expressing my fears about missing naptime, I was told to teach my child self-regulation (a pamphlet was later sent home to all parents) and a friendly suggestion to move up the bedtime an hour instead of confirming my suspicions that all my child was needing was the usual afternoon nap. The teachers can not openly share with parents their concerns out of fear of this director/lost revenue. Not discussing concerns with parents was a sign that the teacher could properly handle and manage stress, turning the tables on the teachers, when the real problem was that many children still needed a rest period. Note to yourself that when your kids go to school here or anywhere else that caregivers are thinking this way. Sharing concerns about your child might result in loss of an important revenue stream. Situations are downplayed or left out of the conversation and at the end of the day all you are given is a "smile" and "have a nice day". Its up to you to "sense your way" through all of the real going-ons in your child's day yet with kids this age how can they communicate all of this. Leadership plays an important role in how much the organization is "allowed" to fufill their mission, in this case let the teachers teach without fear they are going to be axed. Do yourself a favor and choose another preschool in the area like Galilee or the local Community Centers are much better.

From the staff to the teachers, owners, leadership and daily activity teachers they bring in, the days are incredibly well thought out. The rooms are set up incredibly well and children lack for nothing. In addition to the kids opportunities, the parents have seemed to get along incredibly and the PTA volunteers are active and create great participation. As a historic testimony to the growth and consistency of MCHL, we have 10 children on our block alone that span 12 years of MCHL with different teachers all having the same great experience. All of the other parents that we have met and known at MCHL seem to convey the same message. I recommend at the very least interviewing the staff and teachers at MCHL when it comes to making a decision for schooling.

I spent months visiting all the schools in Sterling, reading all the reviews, and looking through all the Facebook pages to find the best care for my son. Nova KinderCare stood out for both their opportunities while also maintaining the feeling of a small school, which we came from in Fairfax. We have been so happy here and cannot recommend it enough. From day one, the teachers and staff have been so welcoming, helpful, and prompt at answering any questions. My son has been fortunate to have a smaller class size which is so beneficial as he struggles with separation from his dad and I. Another great experience was potty training. Without my son's patient preschool teacher, Ms. J, it would have been so much more difficult. She was so understanding and helped him transition out of diapers smoothly. The entire staff is all hands on deck and all the updates we receive each day make it even better and reassuring. We are so glad we chose NoVa KinderCare and our kids just love it too!

Everything was done by the book, lockers were provided as well as water. The testing room itself is comfortable. Unfortunately there was a small problem - the proctor didn't remember the username and password required to start the exam. It took 20+ minutes to get the exam loaded. In the end the employee apologized and it really wasn't a big deal to me. However during this time another person was having problems starting his exam and the proctor kept going in and out of the room to call someone for help. I felt really bad for the two other people testing in the room because I'm sure all of this commotion was distracting to them. The facility does provide headphones that could help with the sound but I'm a slight germaphobe.
