I spent months visiting all the schools in Sterling, reading all the reviews, and looking through all the Facebook pages to find the best care for my son. Nova KinderCare stood out for both their opportunities while also maintaining the feeling of a small school, which we came from in Fairfax. We have been so happy here and cannot recommend it enough. From day one, the teachers and staff have been so welcoming, helpful, and prompt at answering any questions. My son has been fortunate to have a smaller class size which is so beneficial as he struggles with separation from his dad and I. Another great experience was potty training. Without my son's patient preschool teacher, Ms. J, it would have been so much more difficult. She was so understanding and helped him transition out of diapers smoothly. The entire staff is all hands on deck and all the updates we receive each day make it even better and reassuring. We are so glad we chose NoVa KinderCare and our kids just love it too!

Our 3 year old just started there as well and if all I have to thank TLVM for is the potty training, which we failed at miserably, I'm happy. Having said that, we have much more to be thankful for.

My…read moredaughter was having some developmental delays that became more noticable as the school year went on. We worked with Loudoun Co and the special ed system to get her some outside help. The teachers and director at CKCP have been so supportive through this entire process. The teachers have gone above and beyond offering suggestions to help at home, and have even gone out of their way to introduce me to other parents with a similar situation. The director sometimes posts articles on the private website about parent tools and links to parenting blogs that I always enjoy. They have helped me learn to be a better parent. The teachers also post daily pictures and I loooooove seing what my sweet daughter is doing at school. It totally makes my day. My daughter loves going to school so much and even asks for her teachers on the weekends when we go to playgrounds. The price is exceptionally afforable for the 1st rate education she is receiving. The parent group, known as PACK are very involved and host a variety of fundraisers throughout the year including a fall fest with games and a Dr. Seuss themed birthday party for the entire school. I cant wait for another year there. We really have been blessed to find this place.

I can not recommend this school. The teachers are great....or I should say they "were" great but…read morethe director laid off these amazing people! I am heart-broken that they let such wonderful people go and I want the teachers to know that you all touched the hearts of your students and they will always remember you! It was a pleasure to watch my kid make friends and come home excited about the day. The school was recommended to me by other moms because of the great teachers and my child was so excited to go to school here. Now so many wonderful instructors, the heart and soul of the school, are gone. The director is taking the school in a "new direction" as per her email. Many incidents my child had at school during the extended day program called "Afternoon Adventures" were down-played or not mentioned at all because of a fear that they would lose money. Instead, when I asked about my child handling the extended day expressing my fears about missing naptime, I was told to teach my child self-regulation (a pamphlet was later sent home to all parents) and a friendly suggestion to move up the bedtime an hour instead of confirming my suspicions that all my child was needing was the usual afternoon nap. The teachers can not openly share with parents their concerns out of fear of this director/lost revenue. Not discussing concerns with parents was a sign that the teacher could properly handle and manage stress, turning the tables on the teachers, when the real problem was that many children still needed a rest period. Note to yourself that when your kids go to school here or anywhere else that caregivers are thinking this way. Sharing concerns about your child might result in loss of an important revenue stream. Situations are downplayed or left out of the conversation and at the end of the day all you are given is a "smile" and "have a nice day". Its up to you to "sense your way" through all of the real going-ons in your child's day yet with kids this age how can they communicate all of this. Leadership plays an important role in how much the organization is "allowed" to fufill their mission, in this case let the teachers teach without fear they are going to be axed. Do yourself a favor and choose another preschool in the area like Galilee or the local Community Centers are much better.

I have never felt more comfortable leaving my kids in the care of all of the amazing staff here. They are truly like one big family and they make all of their students feel part of that family. There is virtually no staff turnover which is unheard of at daycares. Lindsey (the director) is so amazing at her job she really does care for each and every student and parent. The communication on a day to day basis is great you can always message the teachers and check in at any time alongside receiving pictures/activity updates. I also wanted to mention the summer camp for K and older was an amazingly run program from the camp staff to the activities- they went on so many field trips and my son had the time of his life. So if you are looking for daycare, private K, or an afterschool program- GPA is by far the best choice!!!
