    Hi Katie! Thank you for reaching out and please excuse the late response as the academy has been closed. I have had the opportunity to respond to your email, but want to still share that we are closely following developments and abiding by Governor… Read more

    My son has loved his time in daycare here. It's a warm and welcoming environment with attention to…read moreroutine, playtime, and enrichment through daily activities as well as imaginative play. I've never seen him adapt so quickly to a childcare center - or be so proud of his budding skills (putting shoes on, packing his book bag). We especially love the great use of the local park for their outdoor time. All the teachers are professionals and form great bonds with their students.

    My daughter has been at FCP since she was 2 1/2, she is now almost 5 years old. I can go on and on…read moreall day about the many wonderful aspects of this school. The teachers are very caring and love those kids dearly. The curriculum is great, they are exposed to Russian and French as well as many different field trips and visits from local professionals (firefighters, police, karate instructors). There are spring, summer, fall and winter parties for all of your family to go and enjoy if your schedule allows, there are a few picnics on weekends and there is a parents night out. Parents can be as involved or not involved as they'd like. There is an open door policy and I have dropped in at random times to find everyone so cheerful and well taken care of. They go to Cherry Hill Park and the library across the street almost daily as long as weather permits. My husband and I work full time and I have to say they are wonderful when it comes to staying open with inclement weather as much as they possibly can. In the past 2 years I can barely count on one hand the number of times they have opened late or closed early because of snow. They really do all they can to be there for us working parents because a lot of us have jobs that don't close for snow like the government does. Elena is the owner/director and she is so greatly involved with everything. She's very responsive to all e-mails, phone calls. She's often there working with the kids and teachers. In a nutshell, I will be so sad for my daughter to graduate and be going to kindergarten in the fall. This is an amazing school and I'd recommend it to anyone.

    My child has a wonderful time with Amparo and her team. They are professional, loving, and I know…read morethey truly care for my daughter. Every day when I pick her up, I receive a thorough report of how her day went, so I know what to expect when I get her home. They even make special arrangements for her dietary needs. I always feel confident that she is happy when she is there. She has such a good time that sometimes she cries when she has to leave! I know that means she spent the day playing and feeling safe and loved. It is my pleasure to recommend My First Steps Daycare to anyone looking for a quality daycare center!

    We enrolled our 6mo old son with MFS because they came HIGHLY recommended by several families we…read moreknew and we were looking for infant care that offered the perfect combo of age-appropriate engagement and caring snuggles. We had enrolled our older child at a Bright Horizons downtown and, while we had a good experience, we always felt like it was too corporate and rehearsed...just missing that authentic feeling. That's where MFS stands out. From our first visit to the facility, we knew MFS had what we were looking for. The caretakers are genuinely loving with the infants and toddlers and we feel confident our son is getting the developmentally appropriate engagement he needs. Also, they have good hours, come in at a good price point, and the owner, Amparo, is AMAZING with helping the infants transition to solids.

    Our daughter attended Kidstretch during the last school year, and we can't say enough good things…read moreabout our experience! The staff put her at ease right away, and she was always excited to go to school and share with us all the things she was doing there. The teachers do a fantastic job of finding creative activities to help the kids learn. We love that our daughter was able to explore outside, learn through imaginative play, help plant a garden, try science experiments, create art projects, and more. While doing all this, the teachers help the kids learn other skills like how to be a good friend, do simple jobs in the classroom, clean up after themselves, be a good listener, etc. They are also intentional about identifying enrichment opportunities and ways for the kids to be involved in the community. For example, there were regular engagements with the local library and field trips in Falls Church and nearby areas. Our daughter learned a lot and loved her time at Kidstretch - we'd highly recommend it to anyone!

    Let me first off by saying that KidStretch was absolutely amazing at helping my child during a time…read morewhere I was not happy with another child care service that worked with my child previously. Once I started taking my child to KidStretch I noticed a huge difference in my child and also in the people he was with. My son was one of the very first children that was in that program and honestly helped him so much. It made such a difference having compassionate staff members helping him develop good habits and manners. Every time I would take my child to KidStretch I knew that he was in good hands and never had a single complaint. The various activities that they had my child doing went from going outside and playing to doing simple chores such as cleaning up after themselves and much more! I would definitely recommend KidStretch to anyone that is looking for a good child care service around the Falls Church area!
