We have been so happy with the quality of care at WCCC.

The emphasis on play-based learning provides for lots of outdoor time (they even have an outdoor classroom!) and art projects. Also appreciative of all the field trips. Our girls are excited to tell us about the fun things they do every day.

The staff at Westminster are second to none! I am so, so appreciative of the high level of…read morecommunication I get from my child's teachers - I always know what's going on and really trust them to care for my child. In addition, having such experienced teachers + staff means they are ready to make developmentally-appropriate recommendations for my child (e.g. - making suggestions about when to drop a bottle or switch to one nap). As a person with no prior experience with raising a child, I really value their perspective!

Our Neighborhood has been a wonderful center for our younger son. He's been there since he was…read morefour months old, and he has really thrived. The classrooms are spacious and comfortable and well-tended and filled with items appropriate to the age groups, mostly eco-friendly and natural objects. The teachers are incredibly creative in coming up with new objects and collections and themes for the children to learn and experience at every age, and the low caregiver-child ratios ensure plenty of focused attention through the day. The teachers carry through on a philosophy of respect and trust in the children, helping them learn to manage their emotions, to understand their world, and to work together with peers and teachers confidently and with empathy. Our son has had the same main teacher for two years, moving from classroom to classroom together with his cohort of similarly-aged friends, and she has been a true partner for us in his growth and development, with lots of feedback and observations for us to treasure. And the center hosts a private parents-only Shutterfly site where they post TONS of photos of the children every week. Priceless. He is loved, safe, happy, confident and learning so much, and he loves going to see his friends every day at school. He amazes me every day with what he has learned and who he is becoming as an Our Neighborhood kid. Far beyond a typical daycare, and totally worth it.

I recently accompanied my daughter on tours of local daycares for my grandson. As a teacher, I was…read moreso unimpressed by the options we saw that I was prepared to forego my own teaching contract for the year to stay home with him. That all changed the moment we walked into the newly renovated Bright Beginnings at Forest Lakes. We immediately knew we had found a safe, nurturing environment. I enrolled my own daughters at Bright Beginnings 20 years ago, and it's wonderful to see that it remains the top choice for the next generation. As an educator, I especially applaud your use of the Reggio Emilia approach. Thank you for providing such exceptional care and peace of mind for working families!

We absolutely love Bright Beginnings! As a first time mom to a NICU baby, it was beyond nerve…read morewracking thinking about choosing a daycare for my baby. I toured many local daycares but knew that Bright Beginnings was the one as soon as we walked in. The entire staff is warm, kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. The facility is clean, bright, and each classroom is perfectly equipped for the age group. I was able to observe the infant class, meet the teachers, ask all my new mom questions and Jess, the director, and his teachers, were able to answer all of my questions and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable in their space. As a mom, I feel confident that my child is safe, happy, and loved in his class every day. Bonus: I found out later from my mom that I also attended Bright Beginnings Forest Lakes when I was in preschool! Now 20 years later, the same quality of care and love is still present along with their willingness to grow and keep up with current best practices. Thank you Bright Beginnings!

We've had both our children here - our daughter since she was a baby. The staff is amazing and the…read moreowner is very responsive and very communicative with parents. They seem to strive to be flexible and accommodating to working parents. I wouldn't put my kids anywhere else. With regards to the reviewer who said the owner's office was in "shambles" - the owner welcomes children needing a bit more attention, or a break, into her office to play. She knows her stuff on child development. I would MUCH rather see an owner who interacts as lovingly as she does with the children than the administrators who I see sitting behind desks processing payments vs engaging with children. Top notch!

As a parent, please limit your interactions with the owner Reagan Ralston. It's best to capture…read moreyour communications with her via email. Overall, she appears nice and approachable. However, there are behavioral concerns in which she highly deflects and does not take accountability for her and others' actions. For someone who does not have an active teaching licensure (or other educational licensures), she sure comes across as a subject matter expert. Yes, she owns and operates her business but as a professional, she should assess and evaluate and be receptive to feedback. In recent experience, she has "flip the script", verbally abused adults and several children, and became retaliatory.

Our son has been a student at Foundations for more than two years now. He was previously at two…read moredifferent daycares for various reasons(locations, hours, etc) so this daycare was researched thoroughly by myself as well as compared to my experience with the other two locations. After settling in at Foundations we could not be happier. The staff is friendly with very low turn around, there is a lot of communication and an air of no nonsense when discussing with the parents. I don't feel like I'm being given lip service about my child. They are not quick to shut down when someone mentions the word snow which as a working mother is incredibly important to me but it is obvious they care about thier staff and make sure they can get in and out safely as well.The day to day involves a lot of outside time when possible, good foods at meal times, hours til 6:30, and cooperative and understanding staff. I can not recommend Foundations enough, even after our son ages out we intend to enroll any future children we may have.

Where do I start..... Leesburg Open Arms is in a class by itself. My first child attended Leesburg…read moreOpen Arms for about 3 years and is now in 4th grade. My now 4 year old son is also attending. This Child Care Facility has been like family to us. Believe me when I say no one else has ever watched any of my kids besides myself, my husband and the staff at LOA. I find it difficult to trust people especially with my children. My children love LOA and if someone like me can trust LOA, then please know that they are in a whole league by themselves. I am a tough critic and very hard to satisfy (my standards are very high) especially when it comes to my children. LOA blows my mind Everytime with high standards. They have not just been there for my kids but they understand my heart. They really know me. Mrs. Ellen, Courtney and the Staff know me and understand and respect my family. If you are considering sending your kids to a child care facility, please look no further. Ask my husband, I am the toughest critic in town. This place calms my nerves because there truly is a giant beating heart filled with honest warmth and compassion at LOA. Thank you LOA for setting and exceeding expectations.
