Ms. Juana redefined the rules of home based schooling. Ajay & Daxa Patel

I have never felt more comfortable leaving my kids in the care of all of the amazing staff here. They are truly like one big family and they make all of their students feel part of that family. There is virtually no staff turnover which is unheard of at daycares. Lindsey (the director) is so amazing at her job she really does care for each and every student and parent. The communication on a day to day basis is great you can always message the teachers and check in at any time alongside receiving pictures/activity updates. I also wanted to mention the summer camp for K and older was an amazingly run program from the camp staff to the activities- they went on so many field trips and my son had the time of his life. So if you are looking for daycare, private K, or an afterschool program- GPA is by far the best choice!!!

Absolute worst place for my grandson to learn. In my opinion Guidepost Chantilly was very…read moredysfunctional at many levels. My grandson was tested at Guidepost and entered first grade for the 2024 through 2025 school year. The mixed level classroom had about twenty-two students, ranging between 1st and 5th grade. In the beginning of the school year there were two teachers, one of which clearly was not acclimated to talking to younger students. Her fast cadence of speaking was incoherent, and level of explanation was not focused at a first grade level. It took six months of meeting with the Guidepost corporate administrator for action to be taken regarding the teacher. The remaining teacher was very in tune with her students and tried her best to teach to the various level of the group. Unfortunately, there were several students in the class with major behavioral problems. Two of the students displayed physical bullying to the other students. My grandson was hit in the head with a stick, breaking the skin. This was inside of the classroom. One student yelled for a significant part of the day, which caused so much disruption my grandson could not focus on the educational tasks. Much of the teacher's day was spent trying to maintain order in the classroom. This was again discussed with the Guidepost Chantilly corporate administrator. The administrator always had an excuse for the incidents and behaviors, with no concrete corrective action taken. When I came at 5:30 to pick up my grandson, I could see a great deal of disarray in his classroom. Papers were out of place and on the floor. Books, educational materials and student belongings were very out of order along with several other things. The classroom was clearly not clean, with visible garbage around the floor. How could this be a functional classroom? One of the bullies in the class was a student of a Guidepost Chantilly teacher. After two months of the aggressive and bullying behavior toward my grandson, I addressed the parent myself. I did this in a very non-aggressive way. The parent put her hand in my face and stated, "I don't want to talk about it" and walked away. The Guidepost administrator admonished me for going directly to the parent. Other parents expressed that this is a trend with this school, allowing their teachers to bring their children and not addressing their students' aggressive and disruptive behaviors. Everyone should be allowed to raise their children how they see fit, but when it impacts other children's safety and ability to learn the problems must be addressed. During the time at Guidepost, we had two parent teacher conferences. At the second conference my grandson was evaluated to be one step past the first conference. We were told he was falling behind and could have a learning disability. The conclusion was that my grandson had learned very little in eight months. We were paying a private school tuition, but he was not getting the education for which we were paying. After the evaluation in late April 2025, we removed my grandson from Guidepost Chantilly and placed him in public school. He was tested when he entered public school at the mid-kindergarten level. In public school, he came home smiling every day. He said no one was yelling all day and he was able to work on his schoolwork. He was not worried about anyone hitting him. This structured environment allowed him to excel for the remainder of the year. He was voted most helpful of his peers and most improved student at the year ceremony. These two awards were from a total of four kindergarten classes, or eighty-five students. He is now in first grade, and we just had the first parent teacher conference. He is excelling in math doing second grade work and is at level for reading and comprehension. We did a tremendous amount of work with him over the summer to bring him to grade level. It is my opinion that if he had a proper education at Guidepost Chantilly, he would not have been behind in his education and not labeled as learning disabled. In my opinion, Guidepost Chantilly wasted eight months of his educational life which is unacceptable. It is my opinion that Guidepost Chantilly is a disgrace and should not have the ability to be called an educational school. Perhaps this is why the corporate parent of Guidepost declared bankruptcy in the summer of 2025. Lack of student enrollment and poor educational ability. Of course, this is only my opinion, I did not waste my time to do the bankruptcy research because I had actual firsthand knowledge.

When we needed help with the Financial Aid process, we had assistance the whole way. Couldn't have been more grateful. Our children have flourished under this Accredited Montessori School with Trained Guides. We could not feel more comfortable that no question seems silly or bothersome by the Guides or Administration. As I said, we truly feel welcome and a member of the Guidepost Family. Also, the way they have handled the COVID-19 pandemic has been incredible. Feeling our children are in safe hands at times like these is paramount and we do at Guidepost. Cannot recommend highly enough! We are so blessed to be here.

My daughter can now adhere to a routine, she is more relaxed and is more comfortable being around other children than before. VMA brings a level of world class care by providing catered meals to children, a large, secure and clean facility right in the heart of Purcellville Peace of mind in conjunction with the Procare app helps parents keep track of their child's day with status updates and photos of how your little one is doing. Small classroom sizes really allow caretakers to focus individually on each child and the Montessori approach to education is fully utilized. This is not just daycare, this is a mindful well executed approach to looking after the most precious little one in your life. I highly recommend Virginia Montessori Academy.

First: it's safe. It feels clean, visually appealing, door locks and cameras everywhere. There is an easy app check in check out. Plus!!! They have healthy got lunch - no more packing lunch! Everyone who works here has a big smile on their faces - something that felt really important to us. The two teacher in the preschool: Miss Kim and Miss Rudy are amazing. Thet care so much about our kiddo, his learning and well being. We get regular photos, updates on what our kiddo is doing, information about his strengths and lots of suggestions about what to do with growing edges. Even though the outside play area is small, the teachers find great ways to use the space. Our son comes home from school happy, talking about all the things he has learned - completely different from the 7 weeks we spent at the other school. I don't know much about the toddler or infant care program, yet I can say all the people who work with the babies seems really dedicated, kind and present. We are beyond thankful for the faculty, staff and this overall school. It's worth every penny! Oh, and if you're a working parent, they are open (for and extra fee) and many of the typical holidays traditional schools take off.

As a parent, there's nothing more reassuring than knowing your child is spending her days with people who genuinely care about her. Every afternoon, we pick up a happy little girl, and that peace of mind is priceless. We also appreciate the structure and consistency they provide. She has a great balance of playtime, naps, outdoor activities, learning, and downtime throughout the day, and it's clear she thrives on the routine. Having meals and snacks provided is another huge benefit and one less thing to worry about as busy parents. The daycare is always full, which speaks volumes about the trust families place in them. After more than a year here, we're so happy with our experience that we'll be keeping our daughter here for another year. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a warm, caring place for her to grow and thrive.

The care and attention each child receives is unmatched. Afrooz and her team are genuinely invested in the development of every child. Our kids have learned so much socially, emotionally, and academically here. What truly sets Mother's Touch apart is the personal connection. Afrooz and her team go above and beyond to ensure each child feels loved and supported. They communicate openly with parents, celebrate milestones, and create such a positive and safe space that it feels like an extension of home. We often have to convince our kids to go home at the end of the day because they don't want to leave! We are so grateful for everything Mother's Touch Daycare has done for our children and highly recommend it to any family looking for exceptional care.

My daughter loved her, got very attached to her and learned so much in that classroom. When she turned two in May she transferred to the 2-s classroom and we never thought there could be another teacher as good as Ms. Yaneth but low and behold we got Ms. Miki who is equally as amazing. SUPER sweet, and every time I pick up my daughter she doesn't even want to come home! And Ms. Miki gives me such a good report on her day and keeps me aware of issues we have discussed (not daycare related, things like how I want her to eat more but not certain things, etc.). These teachers become like family and I have not seen a SINGLE teacher leave, they have zero to low turnover. And the Director, Ms. Amy is so wonderful to work with. She always says hi and I feel so comfortable going to her with any concerns. What sold me on this particular center though, was when I enrolled my daughter my biggest concern was her transition since she had been at home with a nanny for 16 months and most daycare Directors would brush off that fear and say "oh don't worry she'll adjust." But Amy came up with a week long transition plan to have me in the classroom with her a few hours a day and extending my daughters time in the classroom without me day by day. It was such a great transition. For about one month she would cry at dropoff (and stop crying by the time I had walked out of the building) and ever since then when I drop her off I have to chase her to hug me and give me a kiss goodbye! If I had to do it all over again I wouldn't change a THING. Love my KinderCare family.
