I attended the school during the Virginia High School League basketball playoffs for group 5A…read more They usually have it here at least this is our second year coming to the school for it... The parking is plentiful it's a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the door if you get there past the start time so bring a jacket or dress comfy. Getting in and out of the parking is not that bad. The restrooms were tidy. Great seating. My only side eye is the concessions. I would expect a bigger school with a lot of options... The event kicks off at 5:00 5:30 right after the majority of people work hours and we're hungry so we're looking for more than just a hot dog and nachos... Next time I'm packing a lunch ahead of the game and eat before entering. Next year... keep this in mind! Have fun and enjoy life :)

If you're lucky you might be a Dolphin too! This listing is for Ocean Lakes High School, home of…read morethe Dolphins. The location is in a residential neighborhood which makes it challenging to get in and out during peak AM/PM arrivals & dismissals. My child now attends the school as a Freshman. So I'm a bit at a learning curve for a detailed review of the school. Ocean Lakes is known as one of the best in the VBS system. Not only due to the fact it houses one of two academic academies, but because it's overall test scores are so high. Not to mention the school is well regarded for having a great student body as well as faculty. Also the school according to my student has a safe environment. He has yet to witness a disturbance in the hall. He has yet to see, or even hear of drug use. Is it perfect, no. Now speaking of their academy which my son is enrolled. Ocean Lakes houses the rigorous Math & Science Academy. Testing is done in the Winter for acceptance. The test runs three hours and is held on two dates affording flexibility to the student. Graduates from the program move onto some of the best colleges in the nation such as MIT and other top technical, engineering and medical programs. A great school that I'm so thrilled my child is a part of.

I love Rainbow Station! I don't know that I can express myself well enough in words to explain how…read moregrateful I am that my son is now at Rainbow Station and not at his previous school anymore (see my review on the other pre-school for more information). Rainbow Station has been everything that a pre-school should be and my son has done nothing but flourished. His teachers Patty and Mallory are amazing! Anthony loves them both and will tell me that he wants one of them by saying, "Mommy I want Patty or Mommy I want Mama (as he calls Mallory)". The front desk ladies are so warm and genuinely happy to see us every day, Anthony blows them a kiss as we leave and waives bye. The Director, Ms. Jada is awesome and always available to answer any questions. She is silly and fun too, which I personally love because I like to be silly and prefer a happy environment as opposed to a stale and sterile environment. Ms. Hazel the owner is gracious and kind. Ms. Joyce always knows everyone's names and is always ready to snap a picture at one of our family events. The school even has a babysitting list that has the teachers that are willing to babysit beyond school hours, which has been such a blessing and made me feel better when I have to leave him for work events, because I know that he is in great hands! The curriculum is amazing and my son, who is newly two, has been speaking in full sentences and able to communicate effectively with me (as long as it is not right before nap or bed time). Since my son has been at Rainbow Station he has not had one single negative incident report! Which goes to show that Rainbow Station knows how to care for kids of all kinds and does not lay blame on a child like their counterparts in the industry. Instead they seek to understand and find a solution if need be. And did I mention that they have a ratio of 1 to 6 instead which is better then the required 1 to 8 that their competitors maintain. My son is happy when I go to pick him up every day and does not want to leave he is having so much fun. I know what he is doing each day and I would be able to tell even if they did not write it out in detail because Anthony shows me each night what they learned. I.E. When they were studying bugs, he went around the house and pointed out to me all of the things that looked like bugs. He may have also grabbed a spider and tried to give it to me, which of course was hysterical and not so at the same time! :-) I believe he did the same thing to his teacher while they were outside (I'm sorry Ms. Mallory my son has no fear). And I can go on and on with how awesome the entire Rainbow Station community is and how they treat us like family! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your family! And for helping me to raise a strong and kind young man!

After a really disappointing experience at our previous school, finding Kiddie Academy has been…read morenothing short of a gift for our family. As a first-time mom with an only child, I spent a long time wondering if the things we struggled with before were just "normal." But after being here for several months now, I can confidently say: this is what early childhood education should look and feel like. One of the biggest and most immediate differences is the communication. it is phenomenal. It's basically impossible to miss an update. We get texts, emails, notes on our child's bin... anything that's happening, you're made aware of well in advance. The school's website is also current and easy to navigate, which is a small thing that speaks volumes about how organized and family-focused they are. Since starting here, our son's creativity has absolutely exploded. He actually wants to paint, draw, and do crafts on his own at home now--something he never showed much interest in before. The classroom decor is always changing and full of the children's artwork and faces. It's not just cute, it's intentional--you can see that the teachers are actively improving and refreshing the environment to keep it engaging. And don't even get me started on the pre-K graduation--it was unmatched. So stinking cute. It was one of those moments you don't forget as a parent. The effort and heart that went into it was obvious. No one else does it like this. All of these things--from the day-to-day communication to the big milestone celebrations--show how much the school reinvests into the kids, the staff, and the overall experience. Honestly, we just wish we would've come here sooner. Our son is thriving, and as parents, we finally feel at peace knowing he's in the right place. If you're a parent trying to find a school where your child will be seen, supported, and truly inspired--this is it.

Could not recommend this school more!!! My son has been here for about a year, for reference…read more First, they are by far the cleanest daycare I've ever toured and we toured a lot! Second the staff genuinely cares, my son has moved throughout multiple classrooms and every teacher has been nothing short of fantastic in the infant and toddler program thus far. In regards to the infant room they are GREAT about following the oz's per bottle you set, but also gently making recommendations when needed. because let's face it babies act different depending on who they're around sometimes. You get these cute little notes about things they enjoy and developmental milestones they achieve. They send home soooo much art work for you to hang on the fridge and cherish. The toddler program is also wonderful. Classroom 6,1,2, and 3 teachers were all super great. One day there was an issue, my son slept too long and he slept through a bottle and as a ftm it made me super nervous, this staff handled it like CHAMPS they were super understanding and supportive of my position and assured me it wouldn't happen again and it did not. Goes to show how great they are at not only dealing with babies but also parents. The food they receive is also amazing in my opinion their menu never fails! Overall the value of care, education, and experience you get for your child is unmatched by any other daycare I've seen. If you can get a spot here I highly recommend it!

I tried to discuss it with the teacher, that did not work so I went to the director. She not only did not hear any of my concerns, she was belittling and dismissive throughout every conversation. When I went to the OWNER of the school to discuss how the whole situation was being handled and how rude her staff was, I received the response that is attached below: "Staff members, including our management team, are not up for a discussion with parents." The facility is nice, the actual teachers really do seem to care about the kids, anyone else behind a desk was never a good experience and always made things difficult.

Over that time, every single teacher that has taken care of our kids has been honest, kind, supportive and incredibly patient with them. We have watched my son overcome an initial communication issue and become a confident and capable little boy. We have watched my daughter become a social butterfly who is quick to help someone who is new feel welcome. We have seen our youngest daughter enrolled learn new words, memorize songs and spout off facts most adults don't know these days. Our children have enjoyed the distinct opportunity to have loving care while kids in parallel systems suffered during the Covid response. Teachers took initiative and went above and beyond virtually every other program available to make sure the kids were safe AND LOVED. This isn't a dog and pony show. This is the real thing. After reading the review potential people left, I decided the best course of action was to ask my kids about their experiences. Honestly I am grateful I did. My kids feel loved. My kids feel safe. My kids are happy. My kids love this place. This system isn't for everyone, and I fully acknowledge that. But for our family, we will always be grateful for the time at Sand Piper and the amazing care they gave to us.

We feel strongly enough to drive 45 minutes across town for our children to attend Sandpiper. In our now 5 year affiliation with the school we have never heard a whiff of impropriety.

When looking into the infant room on the right, several pieces of furniture were in disrepair which caused a hazard for any children that may be in the room. These are just the things that my husband and I saw, which made us question the cleanliness of the rest of the building. As we were leaving one of the employees was in her car in the parking lot with the windows down arguing with somebody on the phone using profane language that was loud enough for us to hear from the front of the building.
