We did a tour of the facility and it looked like an orphanage. There were kids crying with their…read morerunny nose all the way in their mouth while the "caretakers" were talking to each other and completely ignoring them. As soon as we walked in they immediately started tending to the kids and when we went to the other room, they were back to ignoring the kids. The toys were filthy although they claimed to clean them every day. In another classroom, the "caretaker" was yelling at the child who was trying to get her attention while another one was saying "I'm just going to ignore you. We saw two different kids in the bathrooms with the lights off and the doors open while nobody was helping them. They couldn't pay me to put my child in this facility.

A wonderful pre school environment for young families! The teachers truly care about the kids.read more

I contacted the preschool while the director, Gail, was on vacation. Within 24 hrs, Gail contacted…read moreme from vacation & gave me detailed information about the school. The preschool has a small class size- 1 teacher & an assistant teacher for 6 kids which is perfect for my shy 2 year old. Gail has a great positive energy & you can tell the teachers adopt that attitude as well. Everyone is genuinely happy to be there & there is a warm atmosphere to the school. We do not have a Jewish background, but Adat Reyim does a great job educating the children & including all cultures in their curriculum. I am truly happy with the preschool, and my once shy 2 year old has really blossomed!!!

I had heard good things about Lango, but unfortunately we won't be enrolling our children because…read moreof their mandatory Media Release policy, which must be accepted in order to register. For reference, the policy states: "I GIVE PERMISSION FOR MY CHILD TO HAVE HIS/HER VIDEO OR PICTURE TAKEN WHILE PARTICIPATING IN LANGO NORTHERN VIRGINIA ACTIVITIES. I AM AWARE THAT THESE VIDEO PICTURES MAY BE DISPLAYED ON THE WEBSITE, NEWSLETTERS, FLYERS, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND/OR ANY OTHER PUBLICATION REGARDING LANGO NORTHERN VIRGINIA ACTIVITIES." I understand that organizations want photos and videos to promote their programs, but I don't think parents should have to forfeit control over how their children's images are used just to participate. Especially with AI and the risks associated with it, this feels like an area where families should have more control. An opt-out option should be offered. Because this policy kept us from registering, I'm leaving a low rating. This isn't a reflection of the program itself, which I've heard good things about. It's simply a policy that doesn't work for our family and one that I hope they reconsider.

This is the second year our child has attended Saint Christopher's preschool. The staff really care…read moreabout the kids, and the small environment makes for a wonderful, nurturing, personalized experience. Our child first attended 2 days/week as a 2.5YO and his vocabulary exploded thanks to his time with the teachers, staff, and classmates. Each class enjoys daily outdoor time, science class, music class, and special activities like a traveling petting zoo, puppet shows, etc. We receive updates & pictures every day via an app. The tuition is reasonable (honestly I think they should raise it, as it is lower than other schools we toured). Highly recommend this school. You won't be disappointed.

The school has a lot of activities for kids, and I love they have music and science classes every week. My daughter loves all teachers here; from her 1st year class - Ms.Megan, to her 2nd year in the Duck class - Mrs.Nistchke, and Mrs.Avarez and then Mrs.Mc Gilley and Ms.Conor in her 3rd year at Ponnies's class. My daughter also loves Mrs.Waddington - the Music and science teacher. She came home yesterday, and talked to us about the moon and the sun, how they move and solar eclipse! The teachers are knowledgeable and very caring. We always felt welcome, the Director - Mrs.Huff and Mrs.Branch welcome families on every morning. The school has created a memorial journey to my daughter. I can't say thank you enough!

I recently went for an orientation w/ this school and a lot of red flags:…read more 1. I was told by a staff member that teachers are not mandated to be vaccinated but they do need to wear masks... 2. Kids that I saw at the school NONE HAD MASKS ON... 3. Place is dirty and RR are crowded, toys are old 4. Alot like Christinia E. review from 2017 -- I feel exactly the same. There's a pandemic going around and our kids have no protection against this virus -- so your telling me this school is being irresponsible do not enforce health and safety of kids and not having students in school wear masks for their safety or strictly make preschool teachers vaccinated...I don't understand why and how they're still running...without enforcement. I'm just saying...parents Dont send your child here

My three year old has gotten to watch butterflies develop and now they are watching baby chicks hatch. I feel like LAP makes our lives easier instead of binding us by arbitrary rules like other preschools I looked into.

We first joined the Spring…read moreMar community in 2018 with our oldest daughter and quickly found a "home" within the amazing preschool community. The school itself had small class sizes, dedicated and loving teachers, and implements developmentally appropriate play-based instruction. Parents are involved as classroom helpers on designated "co-op" days, and we love being able to see our child learn and grow with our own eyes. We have also really enjoyed getting to know other families and have made lifelong friends through our time at Spring Mar. This is not your ordinary "drop-off" preschool - this is a community of teachers, parents, and children who are working, playing, and learning together. You will NOT regret choosing Spring Mar as your preschool home.

The passion of the staff and teachers shows that they love being there and want to watch children grow and experience all the fun things that pre-school can offer. The downstairs discovery area is a favorite spot that my children frequently talk about on the car ride home of their new creations or creative areas to make-believe play in. By the time all my children are done, I will have spent almost a decade at Knollwood and I couldn't imagine a more perfect and happy way to start my children's educational journey.
