The class sizes are small so the kids get more attention and time with the teachers. My son's organization skills, confidence, and determination have increased tenfold with Mrs. Christine and Mr. Josh. The tuition is very affordable for a private school and the community is so warm and welcoming!

The tuition is affordable, the only downside are the uniforms are a bit expensive. My child has learned to read very fast. The children learn many Scriptures and sing many songs which they recite as they play at home. They are definitely young scholars who complete winter packets during break, so be prepared. Many parents are unaware of the conditions in public schools and no idea what is being taught or how their children are being conditioned. Placing my child at CCA has been a blessing and I go to work each day knowing she is safe, supported, loved, cared for, and learning.

I'm a longstanding member of The Life in Woodbridge VA…read more In 2001, after returning from a military assignment in Germany with 3 kids, we were looking for a good church home during time of 9/11. We wanted a place where we could develop friendships and where our kids could participate and grow. We found several military & civil service families there, and now 19 years later we are watching our kids go off into the military, graduate college, and go to college, etc. For me, church hopping was not in the cards for my family. I wanted my kids to grow up with in one church and have a place to come to where everyone would know their name. My kids received love packages while in college. We have a church family that shows up when we celebrate graduations or other events. We have a church family that joins together to help us if we are sick or if a loved one dies. When I was promoted to into the Senior Executive Service (SES), my church family showed up in large numbers to celebrate with me for the pinning service. I'm so grateful for how my church family surrounded us with love and helped us prepare an honorable funeral service for my 95 year old father in law, a WWII veteran. They also cooked, served food, and they cleaned up after the repast. They wouldn't let us lift a finger to help, they proudly and graciously said that it was our time to rest, mourn and be served. There's always something to do in the church, and getting involved helped us meet other people early on. We didn't stand on the sidelines and leave it to chance. I can't tell you how many things we've done as a family but it includes ushering, greeting, drama ministry, dance ministry, choir, deacon ministry, mission trips to Africa, organizing fundraisers, Community Development Corp, media production ministry, vision board and strategic planning, vacation bible school, back to school giveaways, holiday meals, meals for the homeless, marriage ministry, retreats, etc. We are having service online now due to COVID-19. https://thelifedc.org/ If you want and need a family to LOVE on YOU, visit us online and get involved.

We were driving around looking for a local Baptist church when we came upon Lake Ridge Baptist Church. We decided to give LRBC a try and went that Sunday. We were overwhelmed at the friendliness of the pastor, Brian Burdett and the entire congregation! We wanted to hear GOD's word, and we did! We felt led to come back and bring our adult daughter and granddaughter. So we did. They both loved it as well! We all truly felt that this was the place that GOD wanted us to be! They have an amazing children's program, bible studies and so much more! They even have dinner on Wednesday nights before Bible study and on Saturday nights before the additional church service. WE ALL HIGHLY RECOMMEND Lake Ridge Baptist Church to anyone!!

My child has been attending Aya for the past 2 years, since they moved to their new location in…read moreColumbia. The school itself seems to be well kept, and they also seem to keep in line with the Montessori method of teaching (as far as I can tell, since the pandemic, parents are not allowed in the school, so everything I know is from my child). My one complaint is lack of communication. The school uses mainly the app Brightwheel to communicate with parents. They very rarely send photos of the kids, and never tell you if your child has gotten an injury while in their care. My child had 2 nosebleeds at the school that I had to find out from them (never mentioned by the school at all). Their was blood on their shirt, which they had to change out of during school hours, so the teachers must have known. In addition, when you reach out to the school with questions through Brightwheel, you rarely get a response back. Maybe about 50% of the time. You can also send an email to the admins, but they can take a few days to respond back to you. There is a phone number to call, but in my experience, no one answers it. My child has liked attending Aya, I just wish they would improve their communication with parents.
