A friend of mine suggested Loving Arms when I moved back to stafford 2 years ago for my then 3 year…read moreold and 3 month old and the entire staff soon became a second family for my kids for the 2 years that we lived there. Mrs. LaShawn and the entire staff always treated my kids like they were a part of their family and I trusted them in their hands every day. They were quick to let me know if anything happened to the kids (accidents happen and they made sure I was always made aware right away), and had great family events through out the year that were fun and got everyone involved. The director Mrs. LaShawn was super friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to as was Mrs. Lucretia. I really feel they would go above and beyond for their Loving Arms families. If I hadn't moved my kids would both still be enrolled here and it has been hard finding a new daycare and preschool since moving because they set such high standards for themselves. It's been a couple months now and both of my kids still talk about their teachers and about how they miss them which shows me how much of an impression and impact they left. I highly recommend!

I scheduled a tour on Monday for Thursday and received a confirmation. When we arrived at…read moreKinderCare, a woman in the front office let us in. She was talking on the phone, so I presume the door overwhelmed her because she displayed absolutely nothing but chaos. She asked me the age of my child, I told her. She gave me a note pad to fill out contact information. She told me that the school sends a bus there, they don't transport to that particular school... which is fine. After that she excused herself and went to the restroom. When she returned she told me they only have 46 slots with 52 kids already... I guess they don't go by ratio. I looked at her and smiled, that's what I do when I'm annoyed but want to be kind. I asked why I didn't receive a call because I took off work for the tour. Again in an overwhelmed state she says "I am the only one here today, the online scheduler just sends things in, I've been very busy today." As though her busy was superior to my time and responsibilities. After all, that's the job. I calmly told her, still smiling, I also work and am very busy, in addition to having a disabled child getting ready for brain surgery and touring schools... but I still can manage to RSVP regret. She ask, "if you'd like I can give you a tour and when"... I told her no, no thanks. As I was walking out I summed it up to a blessing for seeing what it would have been like there. The first impression did not display positive control. They must be one of the more affordable daycares around because I was not interested after that.

As a mother it feels amazing to drop your baby off at school and they are excited about going and an even better feeling is when my husband or I pick him up and look thru the door and he's in his class laughing and playing and actually enjoying himself . Every evening he has great art work and projects that have shown me he is actually learning and not just sitting around or running wild with no structure. Also the Director and Assistant director and the teachers are absolutely amazing as well, they are very well mannered and genuinely care about the " parents and the children " . and everything at this center runs smoothly and perfect. As a mother it feels good to also walk into a center that "I" enjoy my child being at as well .At the end of the day as a parents we just want our children to enjoy life and be happy and this center will fill your kids with joy and give them the right direction on enjoying school .

Beth is being promoted within the company so sadly she will be leaving La Petite Academy in Stafford, VA but she let us know a woman by the name of Laura will be taking her position and after I meet her I will update this review but we love the curriculum as well as the teachers the kids have. Aamirah is our infant room teacher and our youngest seems to bond well with her. She truly is wonderful.

My son's time at Goddard has come to an end, and I feel it's only right to share my experience…read more On his very first day, I picked him up and noticed he was limping. The owner, Wendy, was present and even asked what happened. However, the staff had no explanation, and no incident report was provided that day or the following day. That evening, I had to take him to KidMed because he could not put weight on his left leg. (I have attached the KidMed invoice with the date.) When I asked my son what happened, he said he twisted his ankle on the playground. What prompted me to write this review was my final interaction with the owner, Wendy. Earlier in the day, I had called Mrs. Ray and asked if I could receive my son's medication back and a letter confirming my prorated rate in writing. When I arrived, Mrs. Trina and Mrs. Ray kindly greeted me, returned the medication, and Mrs. Trina even gave my child a hug. However, when I asked about the letter, Wendy stated, "It was sent to your bank." I reminded her that I called two hours prior and specifically requested something in writing, which Mrs. Ray acknowledged at the time. Unfortunately, Wendy's demeanor was dismissive and unnecessary. I also reminded her that I never received an incident report for my son's injury--something that, by law, should have been given to me immediately without me needing to ask. Despite the negative experience with Wendy, I do want to express my gratitude to Mrs. Trina, Mrs. Ray, and Ms. Bri. Thank you for always welcoming my child with warmth and care. Please continue doing what you do--you truly made him feel comfortable and valued.

**** I cannot say enough great things about The Merit School…read moreof Stafford. My daughter just graduated from kindergarten here, and the education completely exceeded what we paid for school. We actually enrolled her a couple of weeks late, but her teacher, Mrs Sleydin, took her time and got my daughter acclimated to the learning environment right away. Here is what makes this school so special: *Individualized Learning:* They structure lessons to meet each child's needs. They know how to recognize children who are more advanced and those who need a little more help. Because of this, my daughter made incredible progress in reading and math. *Well-Rounded Activities:* I love the art, gym, and playtime. Plus, they offer great extracurriculars, tutoring, and before/after care. *Caring Staff & Community:* Every teacher cares about every student, even if they aren't in their classroom. The director, Sherry and the Asst Director, are wonderful in not only the way they run the school but their personal involvement with the children. The PTO also works hard to bring the best environment and value to the school. Every dollar spent on my daughter's education was worth it. If you want a school that truly delivers, I highly recommend them!

I have a newborn and I am currently not working therefore majority of the time I am at home. The last time Cameron went to the playground outside of daycare was over a week ago. The director brushed off the hand foot and mouth claim stating she has no idea where it could have possibly came from but obviously it came from another child at daycare. I would be putting a two week notice in however, it is unnecessary for me to pay for any more weeks tuition that Cameron will not allowed to be in attendance. Also for the temperature in the building is so cold that for 3 weeks straight my sons nose has been running he's been coughing sneezing and ears/arms have been cold. The director laughed when I rolls her they need to clean more. Mats that the kids play on are filthy. Workers smoke cigarettes outside in front instead of the back of the building. I liked a few staff members there but altogether this facility is dirty and run down. This is the cheapest daycare in Stafford va however you get what pay for. Kindercare learning center is way better. The floor Mats in the 3s and twos class rooms are so damn dirty!! Do not enroll your children
