The staff, while incredibly friendly, are absolutely amazing educators that care deeply for their students and help them to excel at their classwork. Our son is five years old but is currently completing 2nd grade math worksheets thanks to his guides and their carefully crafted lesson plans. I would like to highlight both Ms. Nuria and Ms. Eli who cared for and taught my son for the last two years. They are both amazing teachers and any parent would be grateful to have them as their child's instructor. I highly recommend this school and am grateful that we found this gem!

It took me a few years to write this review. My son went to FBC early learning center. The first…read moreyear when his teacher was a pastor wife - it was fine. Next year, Mrs. Verna started to literally harass my child - stuff like forcing him to carry a 8 pound back back (third if his weight), instead of using napkins to clean up his nose - swallow mucus (it's gross!) and other things like that. One day they call me in the morning to pick up my son because he is uncontrollably crying. I came to pick him up, they said he refused to go to the playground. He was at Mrs. Verna office on the floor uncontrollably crying. At home he said that Mrs. Verna dragged him to his office and told him he is crazy. He had a couple bruises. We asked the pastor to investigate what happened as they have cameras but he refused. He said that Mrs. Verna never does anything wrong. Instead the next day when my husband took him to school - they de-enrolled him without letting us know. They asked off duty police officer to escort my 3 y.o. out of school. We involved CPS but of course they could not find anything. We moved to another school and in the past three years we never had a problem there. I have never seen my son crying non stop for an hour, not before and not after this incident. To this day I don't know what happened there. I feel guilty I couldn't protect my son. The thing I know - Baptist Church don't care about you or your child. We met two more students/parents who went here and they had similar stories. And I question: why after so many years of existence there are no reviews good or bad for this school?

I don't like to write negative things about a church as they are doing God's work & they are almost…read moreall a positive place. However, there is a "right" church for most people & this one is not it for my family. So I'm writing a review just to let others know why in case they may have the same concerns/issues. We went here for a while a few yrs. back (3-4yrs) and really enjoyed it. The sermons are great & they have lots of activities & things for children. It is a very involved church & you can truly immerse yourself. If we got there on time seating was never an issue & I always got a lot out of the sermons. The music is contemporary & very upbeat. The people are friendly. Then it started getting more & more crowded. I have been "church shopping" for my family for about 6 yrs. now, since we moved to northern Va from Fredericksburg. Still haven't found a church like the smaller, family oriented, personal & very real church I left. So I decided to check out a couple others in the area. About a yr. later we came back to 1st baptist a few times. Holy moly. The population had exploded!! I don't know what they did but it was so crowded you couldn't get a seat unless you got there super early. Even when getting there early I'd go in the sanctuary & people had left their bible, jackets, etc. on seats to save their seat so we still couldn't get one. We would stand in the back, hanging around feeling stupid. The ushers pretty much ignored us. We then would go out into the lobby & sit at a table & watch on the TV out there. This happened 2 Sundays in a row. Many people, including those who worked at the church, passed by & no one even spoke to us. Boy did we feel out of place. Awkward! So that was it for me. Too many other churches to fight for seating & feel invisible. Really impersonal. I felt like I could go there for 2 yrs. and no one would know who I was. So, my search continues...... Again, on a positive note, the sermons are great & my kids loved childrens church there. The childrens church teachers are great. They are the only ones who remembered us. I think too many of these mega churches in the area focus so much on growth & missions that they miss the regular people & those who are searching & may be in need. I have seen in it many, many churches in Woodbridge. So I will look for a smaller church, where perhaps they'll remember my face, or actually call me/email me when I put in a prayer request.

I had to follow up with them to see if he got in or not and she emailed me right away saying they wanted him to come in for a second visit. I thought it was strange but I went with it! idk how you can judge how a child is going to do or what they can do in a 15 min visit. Seemed very inaccurate to me. She said she would follow up with is but never did so I reached out to see because you we had not heard from them in about 2 weeks very unprofessional to me. I said Good Evening! I'm just following up about my son to see if he has gotten into your program? If not please let me know, so I can look into getting him in another Kindergarten program before spots are all filled up. Her response was thank you for your email. We are sorry but your son didn't make it into our program. We wish you the best. No explanation to why or not! I'm really upset because his pediatrician recommended this place thought it would be a great place for him to thrive but they passed judgment on my son without giving him the chance. As a military family this is disheartening. This is how they treat the people who serves this country's kids with a disability.

My child has attended this school for the past 7 months and has flourished. Please notice I called it a school because The RISING STARS For Toddlers is not a daycare or playroom. They have outdoor classes, circle time discussions, music and so much more! The curriculum varies on your child's ability. The children have no clue they are learning and to them they are just enjoying toddler life. I receive weekly photos of my child's daily interactions, which I look forward to viewing with my little one. My son is recognizing letters, counting in Spanish, cleaning his area in the short time he has attended the school. As a mother, your concerned about who is caring for you child and how their treated. In most cases you gauge that from how your child behaves upon pick up. Never in my wildest dreams did I think my 24 month old would NOT WANT TO COME HOME!!! I am not kidding!!! He literally has to be coerced out of school. THIS SPEAKS VOLUMES!!! Amazing Staff

When he was just one year old, the daily struggle of getting him ready and dealing with the rigid schedules of mainstream daycare centers like KinderCare was exhausting for both of us. He was unhappy, and so was I--until I found Rainbow Children's Center In-Home. From the moment we joined, Taran created an amazing, nurturing home environment. She understood the realities of being a working parent and allowed me to bring my son in his pajamas when he was too sleepy in the mornings. The extra love, patience, and dedication she provided were more than just childcare--they were family. To this day, I still call her my "baby daddy" because of the incredible role she played in our lives. Now, my son is 13, and our families have grown together. Taran continues to be a part of his life, always providing a safe and loving space. Any parent would be truly lucky to have their child in her care. Unlike mainstream daycare centers, which often feel impersonal and unreliable, Rainbow Children's Center In-Home ensures that every child feels secure, happy, and cared for. My best advice to any parent searching for childcare: Pay attention to how your child feels when you pick them up. If they are smiling and relaxed, you know you've found the right place. Without a doubt, Rainbow Children's Center In-Home is the best childcare in Lake Ridge, Virginia. We love Tay Tay and will always be grateful for the love and support she has given our family!

Even more, she has come so far from an education and social standpoint. At 3 yrs old she is funny and confident, knows her ABCs, can count from 1-30 in English and Spanish, her shapes and so much more. I will never be able to thank these wonderful people enough!!!

He began school with Ms. Janae and Ms. Shauntae, who cheered him on as he started to crawl and walk. Now, he's absolutely obsessed with his favorites, Ms. Venice and Ms. Nai'Kaila, as he learns to sing songs, all his colors, the best dances, and practicing writing his name. Communication from the staff is excellent; they provide regular updates on my son's progress and are always open to discussing any concerns I might have. Ms. Kristen and Ms. Lina welcome all parents and children like family. Overall, it has been a wonderful experience, and I feel confident that my son is in great hands!

This is a "don't know what you got till it's gone" place. Our daughter was here from 11 months old…read moreto 2.5 years old and we never doubted how amazing her teachers were. Miss Shondra, Mariah, Jasmine and Dominique were absolutely incredible with this kids. Our daughter talked about her last class's teachers all the time after we moved. Shondra eased our fears of our daughter moving up in classes by visiting her during breaks and taking pictures with her to send to us on the app (above and beyond!). They have been there for years and it goes to show how well they are treated. Yes, there was standard turnover, but it was definitely less than what I have seen and heard of at other places (5 people in a month at our current daycare in CA) . The place was always clean and well managed. Rules were definitely enforced and I think that's why it ran so smoothly and was such a safe place for kids. Crafts were done to the point I was like "please stop sending these home" but now I know some places don't provide it at all and I know how important it is for development and realized how much I miss getting those crafts. They stuck to the menu and if anything changed you'd get an email which was important for picky eaters! Overall, this place is so great that my husband and I joke that we hope we get moved back here so our girls can attend the daycare so we know they're going somewhere safe and where they are happy. Also they used to be Minnieland Academy and I'm thinking that's why there's no reviews for this place because it changed?
