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!

We've been so fortunate to meet Val (new owner and Director of Rising Stars) and have our 2.5 year…read moreold join the toddler classroom at Rising Stars starting the 2022-2023 school year. Val has taken over and totally revamped the daycare center that for many years was named The Kay School. We interviewed at The Kay School before Covid-19 shut everything down and were impressed by the facility, which is large enough for four classrooms (although Rising Stars only has three class rooms open as of now) but not so big that it felt impersonal. The building is actually an old barn that has been retrofitted as a school, which creates a charming/welcoming environment for the kids. There is a great playground area in the back with a pavilion, multiple swing sets, raised stage and blacktop. We met Val when we re-interviewed in the Summer of 2022 and were very impressed by what she was doing with the facility and curriculum under her new ownership/management. Val has run her own in-home daycare for several years and has a loyal following of families who followed her over to Rising Stars which was telling for us since she was previously in Sterling (not that far away, but the fact all of her families stayed on at the new location gave us a lot of comfort!). We are so happy to have locked in a spot with Rising Stars toddler class and have been very happy with the staff (dedicated teacher) and the technology-forward communication Val has implemented (all communications, photos of your kids - if you opt in, and billing is all handled through a central app/website). We receive updates daily on our son's activities and have been impressed with the variety of outside and inside curriculum that he has been exposed to at Rising Stars. We are excited for our son to spend the next few years here and would highly recommend Rising Stars if you're in the Herndon/Reston/Fairfax area looking for childcare.

Amazing daycare!…read more You can tell she loves children and her job. I have a two year old and she's always excited to go to daycare and smiling when we pick her up. Her daycare is extremely clean, well run, we've never had an issue. She's bilingual, which is a huge plus and the location is in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of green space. We honestly got lucky finding her and even luckier that she still had availability. I'd give her 6 stars if that were possible based on how much my daughter loves being there. She's been going there since she was 6 months old.

Very clean, organized, welcoming, bright colors, new toys, they even have a beautiful fish tank. Every week there was an activity that the kids worked on. I've collected throughout the years crafts from the kids and I'm so glad I have them. I would also get weekly pictures send to me when they had puppet shows, music class, pool splash and play day, etc. Did I mention my kids are bilingual thanks to Myriam. My kids didn't want to leave when they transitioned to preschool and every time we pass by the neighborhood they want to stop by and say hi. Always do your, homework and ask the questions when interviewing daycares. Do they have an open door policy and make sure they have a legit state and county license. If you are searching for a trustworthy family oriented family daycare look no further.

We have absolutely loved having my daughter Penny attend La Petite Academy for the past 18 months…read more-- the staff is all so wonderful, the director, Melissa, is lovely and so accommodating, they use the Brightwheel app to give you updates and photos of your kiddo throughout the day, they maintain all the appropriate caretaker/child ratios, are super communicative, and the facility is always clean and cheerful. My daughter started at LPA in the infant room with Jennifer, who was just wonderful. I love that they make bringing bottles and baby food for your babe so easy, and then once your kiddo is big enough to eat real food, they provide it all! I've totally gotten spoiled not having to pack diapers and food for Penny every day. Once Penny was older, she transferred to the toddler room and has developed in leaps and bounds! We lovelovelove her teachers Laylan, Jovani, Senait, Nicole, and all the rest who pop in to help out regularly. They have daily outside play (weather permitting), do fun activities, crafts, have music class, sometimes outside vendors are brought in to do things like a science show or an animal show-and-tell, etc. Penny has blossomed here and loves going to "school" to see all her friends and teachers. Leaving your kids in the hands of others can be a bit heart wrenching, but it's a wonderful feeling knowing that they are in safe, loving hands like I know is the case with every child at LPA. Everyone always seems happy to see us when we arrive, I genuinely feel the love and care that Penny's teachers have for her, and I truly feel like we've become part of the family here. I heartily recommend LPA of Fairfax Station to anyone looking for daycare or preschool needs in the Burke, Fairfax Station, West Springfied, or Mason-adjacent Fairfax area!

The toddler classroom teachers Laylan, Jovani and the others kept our son safe and happy. Ms Jennifer in the infant room helped calm our son during sometimes rough drop offs. Miss Peggy does a great job teaching the 4 year olds! My son learned so much and was more than prepared for kindergarten. Melissa the director is really helpful and responsive. Overall I recommend this center and think it is a great place for your kids to learn and play. We miss it!

We can no longer recommend this center. We have removed our child out of safety concerns and…read morereported them to the state and county licensing authorities. The lead teacher of the toddler room, Atsupi Anthony, gave our 16 month old a cup of laundry detergent which she tried to drink, in addition to dish soap and hand soap. The only reason we know it happened is that she sent us a photo of it with a caption describing it. The Friday before this incident we had spoken to the director about other concerns with Ms Anthony's judgement. I observed her yelling to another teacher not to give a toddler food after his cheese stick fell on the floor ("he needs to learn a lesson and not drop he food") He's under 2, kids drop things. The director said she would investigate and counsel Ms Anthony, that we should trust her because she has many years of experience and parents love her. We notified the regional manager about the laundry detergent and Bright Horizons has, in accordance with their HR policy, decided to counsel her and leave her in charge of the class. Their policy is to counsel, reprimand and then terminate. The regional manager said that Ms Anthony doesn't have anything in her record, that the yelling incident was not recorded and they have to start with counseling her. I'm not sure you can counsel good judgement into someone and am not going to let her practice with my child. For these reasons we are concerned that Bright Horizons does not take safety seriously and have chosen to remove her.

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.
