There are many online CPR courses which I did take but were not valid when I submitted it to the state. I took the class with Francisco the owner which is prior military and firefighter. From day one it was really easy to get a hold of him and to arrange for the class. I got lucky that my class ended up being just me so I got to ask any questions I had and Francisco would gladly answer them. The whole experience was an easy and very insightful. Francisco does a great job teaching and cares about you learning.

I wanted to renew my pediatric/adult CPR/first aid/AED certification, so I found a class through…read morethe Red Cross website that worked with my schedule and signed up. I prefer to do the classroom-only option for classes like this, since I want as much hands-on training and discussion as possible to help me retain what I'm learning. (They do also offer many hybrid options online.) I'm very glad I signed up for a Sunday morning class so I could park on the road nearby, since I have no idea how anyone would be able to find parking around this location otherwise. (I recommend coming early and checking all street signs carefully for the parking restrictions/requirements.) Once I made it to the door, I pressed the bell and went upstairs. We started pretty much on time and every seat in the class was filled. The class consisted of text and videos on the television interspersed with group/partner activities and hands-on training. We got to use the adult-size torsos (with lights to show you if you were pressing hard enough), infant dolls, practice AED machines, training Epi-pens, and some basic first-aid materials. Luckily, the class members who attended on this day were fun and engaged, so we had good discussions. The class lasted the full 6.5 hours. (In the past, it's been 50-50 for going for the full time, since sometimes the class votes to take a working lunch to finish early.) The teacher also ended up taking more frequent breaks toward the end, since people were lagging after lunch. I do like that the full-day class means you don't have to take a separate test, since the instructor verifies you are doing all the hands-on techniques properly. We even got a pin after answer a final "quiz" question correctly at the end of the class. I left the class feeling prepared and ready to help with CPR or first aid in an emergency. The completion certificate link was sent via email, which is handy if I need to pull it up while I'm on the go.

The first time I took the exam, the Proctor spent an hour trying to get in contact with a member of FCPS's IT staff to get the license for the software needed to take my exam. This delay definitely took me off my game, and may have been a contributing factor to my failing of the exam by one question. For my retake, it was discovered while I was waiting for the exam that PC used to proctor the exam had not been updated, and would take until after 9pm at night to finish updating. Luckily, the Proctor was willing to come in on her off day so that I could take the exam before my certification deadline. In addition, scheduling the exams were a massive pain, with the admin staff in charge of registration often transferring my call to a person not in the office, resulting in having to play phone tag for over an hour in order to get the exam scheduled each time. Although the Proctors were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, the lack of support from the rest of FCPS's Adult and Community Education staff proved to be extremely detrimental to my experience, which is why I must give them a 2 star review. Until this situation changes, I can not recommend FCPS's ACE program to anyone.

Our child first attended 2 days/week as a 2.5YO and his vocabulary exploded thanks to his time with the teachers, staff, and classmates. Each class enjoys daily outdoor time, science class, music class, and special activities like a traveling petting zoo, puppet shows, etc. We receive updates & pictures every day via an app. The tuition is reasonable (honestly I think they should raise it, as it is lower than other schools we toured). Highly recommend this school. You won't be disappointed.

My daughter also loves Mrs.Waddington - the Music and science teacher. She came home yesterday, and talked to us about the moon and the sun, how they move and solar eclipse!

The school has created a memorial journey to my daughter. I can't say thank you enough!

This has to be the most unprofessional atmosphere we have ever observed…read more The leadership or "mentors" could care less about the children. They let them act unruly in public settings with screaming, kicking one another, while these adults converse with each other or stuck in their phones. We observed these multiple afternoons from a balcony next the playground and was in shock how misbehaved the children were. These children lacked the discipline and control from 4-5:30 daily, and disrespectful to the community as well. We are so disappointed to see the lack of effort in this "School" ... This place is a day care only and should be embarrassed... Do not have your children come here.

I have had the worst experiences when it comes to childcare in the DMV. When I first applied to…read moreCelebree, I could not believe how open, transparent, and informed they were. There was a little bit of a waiting period because the school wasn't open just yet. But during that wait period, my son and I still had a chance to interact with both the teachers and the parents. Every question I had was answered with meaningful intention. They truly and honestly made it feel like a second home for my toddler. The time and attention given to each parent, child, and staff member shows how much effort is put into upholding the Celebree Values. * Communication: 10/10 They use the "HiMama" app where everything from the fire drills to the daily report is consistently uploaded daily. Recently my toddler was sick and had to stay home for a week. If I didn't reach out to the team someone from the team would reach out to check on him. * Culture: 10/10 They focus a lot on the kids and parents comfortability. If my son isn't feeling well or is just having a bad day they go above and beyond to understand what's going rather than just brush it off as an off day. They have parent events to have the parents connect with not only the teachers but other parents as well. * Curriculum: 10/10 I love the structure the curriculum because it's geared more towards comprehension and not solely memorization. For example: He knows how to count to 20 but does he know what the quantity actually looks like. * Procedures and Policies: 10/10 Safety is a number one priority for me so I spent a lot of time interviewing them about the safety procedures and policies. They have a policy in place for every and any issue you could possible think of. They have an open door policy and I can't count the amount of time I have dropped in to say hi or ask questions. * Facility: 10/10 I love that everything is always clean and childproof. The playground is on top of the roof which I know sounds like the most dangerous thing but the security around the playground is very reassuring. The structure of the multiple fences does not allow any devastating accidents. They do not leave the building outside of fire drills. The toys and books are up-to-date and well kept. Everything is very aesthetically pleasing. * Staff: 10/10 Each and every teacher has been amazing! My son is extremely excited each day to go to school so that he can see his teachers and friends. Life happens and sometimes teachers have to rotate out but the quality of care does not change. The staff makes sure know each student whether they are in their class or not. The Admin team really is the DREAM TEAM! The work like a well oiled machine the way the support each other, the staff, the kids, and the parents. * Ms. Shawn has to be one of the best support manager. She takes her time to connect with every student and parent. When I have a problem she has already began working on the solution! One moment she will bring doing Admin duties and the next she is in the classes teaching the kids. She does a lot of work to make sure the needs of everyone in the Celebree Family is met. * Ms. Jana is AH-MAY-ZING! She is the conductor of this train. Although she has worked in childcare for many years she is not jaded and somehow is able to give each child and parent consistent love and care. She brought us in and made sure we felt like family. She has even improved my parenting with all types of advice, tips, and tricks. * Mr. Mohammad and Mrs. Ayesha have been welcoming and open from the very beginning. I was hesitant because you never really get to form a bond with the owners of a daycare but they make sure to not just "show face" but actively be inside of the classrooms assisting the teachers with anything they need. I really wanted to make sure that this team of amazing people received their praises! I really appreciate each and every person that is apart of the Celebree Family.
