They go above and beyond and everyone there is truly passionate about the development of little people. Get on the waiting list ASAP if you are serious about getting in. The Chinese Immersion program (new name now probably) is a hidden gem in Blacksburg childcare.

My son is in the Pre-K here and his main teacher is amazing. She is caring, loving, and…read moreunderstanding of all of the children. The curriculum has greatly expanded not only my child's readiness for Kindergarten but also has made him an inquisitive and passionate learner. The building itself is wonderful. The Pre-K class feels welcoming and is filled with educational posters and children's artwork. My son loves the "castle" outside to play on and when there is inclement weather there is an indoor "rocket room" for children to experience. I would suggest this daycare to anyone who would like a christian based learning environment.

Full disclosure: I did not end up taking my child here, but that's because of how bad my tour…read moreexperience was. Right at the beginning of the tour, the owner introduced herself and immediately said that she's a " big proponent of moms staying at home." She then proceeded to interrogate me as to why I wasn't staying home with my child and would not let up when I wasn't forthcoming with an answer. Then, the woman leading the tour forgot my last name (which is obviously totally fine!) but rather than ask what it was she just started to refer to my baby as "baby Lopez".... we are Hispanic and my last name is Perez... Even if those things hadn't happened I would not be taking my child here. In the infant room, "baby shark" was playing so loudly over the speakers that they were shaking and I couldn't hear anyone talking. How is that good for infant-ears? There was a playroom with a single toy and toddlers just running in circles for their free time. I saw a caretaker shove a kid into his seat. And, unless I'm missing something, their "cots" for nap time are essentially plastic Tupperware lids that the kids lay on. There was also a kid that was visibly sick and unattended to. If you're looking for Christian judgement with a side of racism and low-quality care for your kid, this is the spot! At least the price is right.

I am impressed as to how they have managed this Covid-19 situation. I really like their attitude…read moreand care towards the kids and the way they take care of them. I know my child is in best hands. My daughter loves to go to the school and enjoys her time there. Great job guys! You all rock!

They have handled the COVID reality with extreme professionalism and grace, ensuring the kids' health and safety remain top priority, while finding new ways to keep the parents informed about the activities being done and the curriculum being taught. Our daughter looks forward to going to "school" each day and we are in awe, daily, of the things she is learning. The greatest testament I can give is the peace of mind my husband and I have as parents, knowing she is in good hands and enjoys being with the friends and teachers she has there.
