    I'm not exactly sure where to begin ....but I love this SCHOOL! Love the Director & the staff !…read more We relocated to the area and I did a lot of research on other day care centers. I even reviewed VA reports of each day care center. When I visited the school in person I was armed with my list of questions regarding activities and correction. All of my concerns were addressed by the schools director, Mrs. Marlene.She was able to competently and confidently answer all of my questions. Putting some of my worries at ease. My child has attended this school for the past 7 months and has flourished. Please notice I called it a school because The RISING STARS For Toddlers is not a daycare or playroom. They have outdoor classes, circle time discussions, music and so much more! The curriculum varies on your child's ability. The children have no clue they are learning and to them they are just enjoying toddler life. I receive weekly photos of my child's daily interactions, which I look forward to viewing with my little one. My son is recognizing letters, counting in Spanish, cleaning his area in the short time he has attended the school. As a mother, your concerned about who is caring for you child and how their treated. In most cases you gauge that from how your child behaves upon pick up. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my 24 month old would NOT WANT TO COME HOME!!! I am not kidding!!! He literally has to be coerced out of school. THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES!!! Amazing Staff

    We have been incredibly happy with the family atmosphere at Rising Stars. Our child loves going to…read more"school". She loves her teacher and has made many friends. They take education seriously, within 3 weeks she could sing the alphabet song and identify letters on street signs and in books. The many activities and family events are awesome and let us see our kids interacting with each other and the staff. I would recommend Rising Stars to anyone.

    I was wrongfully terminated from SEVEN OAKS ACADEMY II located in Woodbridge, VA on Monday…read more11/17/2025. I got in at 7am and informed the staff there I was going to eat my breakfast before prepping for my evaluationat 9am. After I ate, a teacher came in and told me "be mindful of my outfit". (Picture of my outfit in comments). Then she left. Then a second teacher comes in and tells me one of my straps tore and ask for a safety pin. So I did. Nobody had one so I went to Vanessa Peak and asked for a safety pin. She asks me if I had a change of clothes and I told her no. She asked me to go home and change. So I asked why. I wear this jumpsuit+shirt combo every week. What is the issue besides the strap complication I'm tryna fix.? She never answered what was wrong with my outfit, just told me I should dress more appropriately for work... I am covered, and in an outfit the kids LOVE. (By this point another teacher comes up to defuse) Vanessa starts yelling at her and asking if she talked to me. Yes she did but what was wrong with my outfit? Still no answer. I was told to go in the office I was told to go in my classroom. When I tried to move into my classroom, Vanessa threw her arms out almost hitting me telling me "No, don't go in there. You need to leave and don't come back." At this point I ask her to watch her tone and I yell for my child to come with me. Once again Vanessa is aggressively telling me leave and don't come back so I retaliate with "Bitch fuck you" and I leave. All this because I told her I was unable to complete her training for her and she switches up on me for dealing with a personal issue over the weekend prior to this incident. (Screenshots in comments as well as outfit pictures) If you know anyone attending SEVEN OAKS ACADEMY II in Woodbridge, VA please have them pull their kids out.

    Avoid this daycare at all cost. They traumatized my toddler to the point he now suffers from…read moreextreme separation anxiety. I tried to work with them, gave them a two week notice, towards the end of the notice, Vanessa denied care. My kids were immediately unenrolled from their center and now they're trying to apply over $3,000 to my account. Charging three months to remove my kids despite a notice being provided and care being denied. Instead of assisting your upset child, they will have all the adults in the center stand and record your child upset and send it to you. Staff is not knowledgeable when it comes to caring for a child and because of that, they try to force you to get your child diagnosed with a developmental delay or disability regardless of medical documentation. Part of the decline in my trust in this facility is that Nicole threatened to discontinue care two-three weeks prior to me giving notice because she wanted me to get my child diagnosed. She was not happy when I came back with medical documentation to the contrary. Nicole tormented my son locking him in her office on several occasions. Nicole has personally attacked me for not giving her energy while being down right nasty and refusing to speak with her because of it. New "ownership" doesn't own the facility yet and attempt to look for ways to over charge you or take advantage of state funding and assistance. Several thousands of dollars that I paid to them were "lost." And magically discovered when I actually had the receipts. The vehicles that they use to transport your babies don't have insurance. Accidents with those vehicles happen and no reports of the accident or the vehicle not having insurance are given to the parents. You have to find out concerning safety information through other parents and public forums. Several occasions my child has come home with unexplained markings. The staff don't like working there and verbalize it constantly and consistently. Several original staff have left several parents have removed their children from their care. Bottom line, avoid this location at all costs. It's now ran and owned by the church next door. They're in dire financial straits and cannot find employees because of toxic culture which forces them to have people "work" there that are not good with children.

    I cannot recommend more highly. My daughter has been at Chesterbrook for 1.5 years since our move…read morefrom North Carolina. My husband and I were not only worried about the transition to a new state, but also transitioning our little one from a new daycare program. Luckily, those worries were quickly remedied when we saw the love and compassion the Chesterbrook leadership and staff have for the children. My daughter absolutely loves her teachers and the leaders there - Kristen, Lina, Venice, Nai'Kaila and Abhi have made her feel loved, special and safe every single day. Even more, she has come so far from an education and social standpoint. At 3 yrs old she is funny and confident, knows her ABCs, can count from 1-30 in English and Spanish, her shapes and so much more. I will never be able to thank these wonderful people enough!!!

    We've been taking our son to CBA in Lakeridge since he was 7 months old, and it's hard to believe…read morehe is almost 3 now. I cannot express how grateful I am for the care and attention he receives there. He has learned so much since he started, including getting a head start on potty training. The entire staff is incredibly nurturing and attentive, ensuring that each child feels safe and valued. He began school with Ms. Janae and Ms. Shauntae, who cheered him on as he started to crawl and walk. Now, he's absolutely obsessed with his favorites, Ms. Venice and Ms. Nai'Kaila, as he learns to sing songs, all his colors, the best dances, and practicing writing his name. Communication from the staff is excellent; they provide regular updates on my son's progress and are always open to discussing any concerns I might have. Ms. Kristen and Ms. Lina welcome all parents and children like family. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience, and I feel confident that my son is in great hands!

    Great caregiver. I would recommend to anyone with any age child. She has watched my grandchildren…read moreand several other family members and she does an excellent job.

    As a single mom with long workdays, finding quality childcare for my son was one of the hardest…read morechallenges I faced. When he was just one year old, the daily struggle of getting him ready and dealing with the rigid schedules of mainstream daycare centers like KinderCare was exhausting for both of us. He was unhappy, and so was I--until I found Rainbow Children's Center In-Home. From the moment we joined, Taran created an amazing, nurturing home environment. She understood the realities of being a working parent and allowed me to bring my son in his pajamas when he was too sleepy in the mornings. The extra love, patience, and dedication she provided were more than just childcare--they were family. To this day, I still call her my "baby daddy" because of the incredible role she played in our lives. Now, my son is 13, and our families have grown together. Taran continues to be a part of his life, always providing a safe and loving space. Any parent would be truly lucky to have their child in her care. Unlike mainstream daycare centers, which often feel impersonal and unreliable, Rainbow Children's Center In-Home ensures that every child feels secure, happy, and cared for. My best advice to any parent searching for childcare: Pay attention to how your child feels when you pick them up. If they are smiling and relaxed, you know you've found the right place. Without a doubt, Rainbow Children's Center In-Home is the best childcare in Lake Ridge, Virginia. We love Tay Tay and will always be grateful for the love and support she has given our family!
