He eats well, goes outside, does art, socializes, and is well loved. They have lots of community events and the parent hours can feel daunting but honestly....that's what build a community and a sense of belonging. I was really unsure about sending a little one to daycare and this place has really changed my mind about it.

We've had two kids at this daycare -- one has already moved on to kindergarten, and our younger one…read morehas one more year left, which already makes us sad to think about leaving. The staff are incredibly professional and nurturing, and it shows in how well-prepared our older child was for kindergarten. Great variety of activities and lesson plans, well-balanced meals, and communication is always excellent. They support the parents just as much as the kids. We can't recommend this school enough!

I beg to disagree with the other negative reviews here, only cuz I had a first hand experience with…read morethis center! I met Ms. Melanie, the center director at a work event, and I mentioned to her that I had some issues scheduling back up care, she personally made sure she'll take care of things and I was able to get care when I needed it. Ms. Miriam, the center supervisor was just as nice and so are the teachers in the infant classroom.. Besides being nice teachers, they are all so good with the kids, I've seen multiple times when I come to pick up my son, that teacher Lauren was singing to my son as she was changing his diaper! I felt the care and concern they had for the kids under their care.

They give you a breakdown of how they were and really take a role in teaching them how to share, eat with a spoon, sing, play, speak, etc. The folks at happy faces are a part of our family and our son adores all of them!

As a preschool teacher and a mom, I'm picky about where I work and where my child goes. I hit the…read morejackpot when I started here. This place and the people in it became family and even though we moved across the country we still stay in touch with people from there! It's a warm, nurturing and caring environment. My son was in the pre k class and he learned so much while there! We absolutely love this place and were devastated when we had to leave. So if you're looking for a place that feels like home, that your kid will enjoy coming to and you'll have peace of my mind that your child is safe and cared for, look no further!

There aren't enough good things I can say about Imagination Learning Center. We have been with the…read moreChantilly center for more than a year now, and are so happy we chose this wonderful place. We've experienced every classroom from the baby room through the 5-year old room. The Director and Assistant Director are extremely understanding and compassionate. They really understand the challenges of working parents and they continuously strive to make parents' lives easier. The teachers are such loving people. They care very deeply about the children's growth and happiness. Every morning, at least three teachers hug my children when we arrive! Some of the teachers have been with the center for 10 or even 20 years. The classrooms are clean, vibrant and engaging. I love the constant updates I receive through the app. When my youngest was a baby, I could see when and how much she ate and slept. And now, I can see all of the books they're reading, the fun activities and trips to the playground. My children come home each day with stories of the art projects they completed, the lessons they learned, and the friends they are making. There are field trips, holiday parities, art and crafts, magicians, snow cone trucks, story time, etc. etc. 5 stars all around!!

This school is pretty amazing! I originally came here another center with my oldest child due to…read morepretty extreme lack of care. The director's (Lisa) genuine concern for my child's well-being and warmth in how she took care of us, before we even officially signed up for the school, is what got us to join. The teachers, learning experiences my child had, flexibility in schedule, and price got us to stay. For the teachers, some have been at the centers going on double digits now, most of the teachers that took care of my son, who grew out of the school, are now taking care of my daughter. My wife has summers off so she has some more time to be with the kids. We wanted to switch to just two days a week and the answer was "Sure not a problem"! I can see by interacting with my kids that they are most certainly learning while they are there, the school is following a curriculum that works. Last but not least, price. It was no more expensive when I switched into Imagination Learning Center (ILC) from the other daycare even though they offered way more. I don't make a boat load of money and could afford 2 kids to go there. The last two things I which I feel are important to say are, 1) They use Brightwheel to send pictures of your child and communications. Its really great that I can have multiple updates a day on how my child is doing. 2) It's a non-profit with a parent run board of directors. The parents actually do have a voice at ILC which to me is amazing and unlike any other center I looked into while I was searching. TL:DR - ILC is a great place with caring teachers and directors who have been there for years, flexible scheduling, and a reasonable price. I would recommend ILC for anyone who needs childcare.

Kids R Kids is worth every penny. My son attended camp there the summer before Kindergarten and we…read morewere so impress that we enrolled him in their Private, Accredited Kindergarten. His teachers have experience in public school and many of them hold advanced degrees in Education.

The type of environment you select for your little ones, is one of the most important decisions to…read morebe made! At KRK, they treat every little one like their own. From the time you step in the (secure) door, until the time you come to retrieve your child, you can trust that they are in great hands. KRK offers live video feed for you to check-in at any time during normal operating hours, as a perk. The teachers/staff here are highly rated. The amount of care, enrichment, and level of details offered can't be beat!! I have witnessed the amount of attention paid to kids from the infant room and above. To see them have a conversation with an infant using sign language was a true highlight. One of the things I love most is that they have several ways to be a part of their growing family, even if you are not currently a daily visitor. They offer after-school and summer camps, before school care, and monthly parents-night-out (PNO) activities. The PNO's are amazing! KRK is like the coolest party in town on these nights. The kids are welcomed and loaded with tons of fun and learning activities. From movies to bounce houses, the kids LOVE it all. Dinner is included with the PNO fee and they typically offer about five (5) hours of care. If that isn't enough, Kids R Kids have the cutest little boo-boo room should your little one fall ill, etc. It's a temporary spot that's set up to care for a sick child. Private bed, initial medical equip (bandages, etc.), and trained staff. This is still a child-care facility, so if you think 'things' will not happen, you are wrong. Kids are kids. They push, they bite, they bicker, they scream, and they kick. The difference is having staff and leadership who will act promptly and appropriately when these things happen. I can attest to being able to address issues to staff and teachers directly. One must be understanding that although their ratios of students:teachers suffice, eyes can not be everywhere at every minute. If you see something, say something. KRK staff offers a REAL open door policy. Talk to them at any time...even if you are just a 'visiting' family. If you are looking for child-care, camps, before/after school care, date night supervision, or private kindergarten, KRK is what you want! Take some time to pay them a visit or call for more information. The staff would love to help answer any questions.

If you are searching for the best opportunity in care for your infant or toddler, I can tell you…read morewith conviction that Ms. Muditha's Stepping Stone Montessori is it. As first-time parents while I worked from home, we were initially considering a nanny share, and I am so glad we found Ms. Muditha instead. Her warmth and professionalism along with her expertise in childhood development and Montessori education will instantly put you at ease. Her influence on your child will be evident as they demonstrate the incredible knowledge and habits they've learned through routine, instructional play, mealtime, potty training, naptime (read: sleep training), and so much more. She takes every opportunity to teach your child. I witnessed my son learn and develop so many practical life skills, motor skills, language, music, yoga, outdoor play, manners and more than you could imagine. At first I was anxious about my infant's safety with toddlers around but quickly understood Stepping Stone had that under control, and it didn't take long to realize my son was learning from the older children's example. Our son loved going to see his friends at Stepping Stone every day - from infancy until Ms. Muditha told us he was ready to move on to preschool. I cherish my time in knowing her, her staff and her family. While my son has been fortunate to have had wonderful caregivers and educators since, some of their names have been forgotten and their influence less noticeably impactful. Our family is eternally grateful and blessed that our son's formative early years were in Ms. Muditha's loving care.

Bottom line: if you're looking for an amazing,affordable daycare where your child's needs are met…read moreby a nurturing, loving caregiver look no further! My wife and I spent countless hours searching within a 10 mile radius of Burke for the best daycare. We couldn't find a single place, with availability, that checked all of our boxes until we found Stepping Stone Childcare. When our daughter started she was nine months old and not crawling efficiently (yet). Now Maddie is 14 months and running nonstop! Everyday she comes home with new signs or words and it's fascinating to see her grow; I know this is due to the care she's receiving by Ms. Muditha! Ms. Muditha has turned her entire basement into a baby/toddler paradise with a section for older children in her Montessori program. Now there's also an awesome play area setup outside where kids can enjoy outdoor activities. On top of our list of perks is communication and Ms. Muditha sets the standard for amazing communication; we get daily updates with what Maddie did and photos.
