Not only did I work here during a few summers, I also attended this place for pre-school…read more this is such an amazing pre-school with an amazing staff (not being biased). the summer camp program is amazing. the food is amazing. the chefs in the kitchen are friendly and always cook delicious food for the children. this is a family owned day care that has been around forever. the building has cameras on the outside and inside.. along with access cards for the parents to enter the building (for safety). the summer camp program is quite fun and im sure any child would love it. from what i remember... every Monday during the summer the children would go roller skating at a nearby roller rink that was rented out. Then every Tuesday the children would go to a family owned miniature golf place. Wednesdays would be pool day.. spend half the day with the children at the local public outdoor pool. thursdays would be bowling day.. get to go bowling at the local bowl america. fridays would be movie and event day.. movies in the morning.. and events in the afternoon (fair, petting zoo, circus, magic show, etc.). definitely send your child there if you live in the area! sure beats those other summer camp programs!

Of…read morecourse this all happened right before we had to travel, but the staff helped me get registered effortlessly. I really feel that everyone at Merit cares very much about the kids. I haven't met a person that wasn't smiling or enthusiastic with the kids yet. The teachers get children up to speed without stressing you or the child out about it. My son talks about all of the interesting things that he is learning and leaves with the biggest smile each day. I can tell that he is happy here (and he used to be a clinger at drop-off!)

I spent a lot of time looking at daycares. The others that I looked at I all saw teachers sitting around and all the kids had dirty faces and runny noses. I have never picked up child up dirty from here and they make the kids wash theirs hand. It's very clean here.

I took my son there for two month until they called child services on us . To be honest if I was…read morefrom here and knew about cps I would do that to them first because on multiple occasions my child brought up to my attention that teacher makes another kids heart him because he's "being a bad boy" , or they didn't give him pillow at sleeping time because he doesn't listen , called me in when my sons fever was unnoticed until it got to 102 F ( we went straight to hospital it could have crossed him brain damage), had chemical burn on his arms from doing they wouldn't tell me what ,we've been difficult to deal with and brought up lots of this issues to management so only way to get rid off us was to call cps . They do it anonymously, so you don't have a prove of who did it and child services don't tell you who reported you,upon enrolling I provided school with my second home address which we have listed up for sale and it's the address that cps were provided with, so it makes it clear who reported me as an abusive parent for no reason ( because he had two small bruises on his ankle or shin which my son told child worker he got from his friend in school , plus he's perfectly active maybe he got it from riding bicycle etc..) I hope who ever reads this makes right conclusions , I am very proud of myself posting this review instead of being embarrassed or feeling humiliated , I'm sure people need know how this day care operates and learns from my mistakes. Thanks !

I can't express how happy I am to have my daughter here! She started at 6 months old. The staff…read moretreats her with so much love and one on one care. The lead teacher turn over is SO LOW! They are amazing! My kid has learned so much and is so independent. She learned some baby sign language which is the cutest thing ever. They do so many activities and keep to a schedule which helps with our routine at home. We've had no issues here. I have no worries while I'm at work because they send updates through an app throughout the day.

All the teachers there are so kind and you can really see that they love their job. They are christian based school. I love to see my son come home learning a new prayer or scripture. They have a great curriculum too. Never had any issues! The only complaint (not really a complaint but a suggestion) is I wish they had more flexible hours. They are open from 7AM-6PM. Most daycare's are open 630AM-630PM. Other than that I highly recommend Noah's Ark!

After nearly 6 years with two children attending, we bid farewell to Chesterbrook Academy in…read moreCentreville (but we may be back again for summer camp!). When we walk out the door after this week, we will be saying goodbye to many of the same faces we have said hello to most mornings for the past 6 years. We obviously like the school a lot to have stayed this long. The location is hidden away in a wooded alcove of a busy shopping center. The classes are divided by age among 6 separate classrooms, each with a door leading out to an age-appropriate playground. They provide food as part of the tuition (except for that pesky Covid year) and have excellent hours 6:30am-6:30pm. The staff has a good blend of faithful educators, caring nurturers, elementary teachers gaining experience for their bright futures, mothers working what they know, college students, and more. This school offers a lot in the way of life skills, enrichment, pre-school education, and social skills. They potty trained both of my children. My youngest will start Kindergarten as an independent reader and his attendance at CBA was a big factor. I was looking back at photos of my children that CBA shares through the Tadpoles app and the sheer amount of creative enrichment and educational activities are unrivaled. This is a corporate facility. It follows corporate rules, and I have not always agreed with them, but the overall return on investment has been demonstrated. I've seen this place improve in so many ways over the years. I have trusted this facility with the two most important people in my life, knowing that they were safe and nurtured. As a bonus, I'm certain they came out as smarter, braver, more caring little humans ready to soar in grade school and beyond. Thank you, CBA! We'll miss you!

I'm giving 1 star, because I can't give 0 TL:DR - Full explanation and story below. Conclusion: This is a school who only take pride in keeping kids who only does well from the day 1. This is a school who is not willing to put in efforts to teach a child, and get him accustomed to a school environment and the school systems and policies. This school treated my child like a product that they are only looking after because we are pay them, and since the product that they are looking after had a possibility of causing problems later for other products in their storage, they dropped the service. The principle is very business minded, and only worried about selling services for the children who would do well, not new to their system. If you don't do well, you will be dropped w/o any hesitation. On yea, sending him home on his 3rd day, what a brilliant mind set of a teacher. Principle? That's a bad joke. She should call herself a manager. Her assistant principle is a hell of a better teacher. She should learn from her on how to be a teacher. And being a manager like her, instead of an actual principle, will ruin the reputation of the school that she works for. https://www.reddit.com/r/Preschoolers/comments/145a6yu/do_not_send_your_children_to_chesterbrook_academy/

We absolutely LOVE MBP. Our twins have excelled here! The director, teachers and extended care…read morestaff are all so wonderful with the kids. It seems like the teachers know all of the kids in the school, not just their own class. They do a wonderful job making each child feel comfortable and secure, but still appropriately challenged. One of our twins has high functioning autism, and since he started at MBP last summer (for camp), and we've seen him make incredible strides. We were terrified about how his separation anxiety would play out, but by the end of the first week of preschool camp, there were no tears. By the end of the second week, he was running ahead of me to his classroom! I know my kids are well-loved, nurtured and in great hands. These kids are really, genuinely excited to go to school. When we drive by on an off-day, they wave and say "bye preschool - see you tomorrow!". Thanks for all you guys do!
