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.

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

Great teachers/staff. It is apparent they care about the kids and work hard to be creative in their…read moreteaching methods. Awesome curriculum! 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. Love the flexibility in schedule as sending my son four days a week makes it all much more affordable for us.

The staff is very caring and provide a fun and engaging environment. My favorite thing about…read moreAnnandale Play-Care is that they foster play and social skills for all kiddos. They are helpful and supportive to parents to help children grow and develop positive and age appropriate behaviors. The location is great too, very easy to just jump on 495. As a teacher myself, I greatly appreciate all that they have done for our family.

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 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!!!

The staffs are always friendly, professional and courteous. Most importantly, this is a safe place for children to learn and the children are always being monitored/cared for (security is always important). The Principal is always paying close attention to who comes in and out of their building. The teachers won't release the children unless she sees the parents. Mrs Fell & Mrs Culpepper are amazing teachers & our child absolutely adores them! Two thumbs way up for this awesome Pre-School!!

A team of caring and intelligent educators and leaders. We…read morehave been at The Springs for near a year now. We started the application process pre COVID and entered during the summer program which secured our slot for the fall, so my experience is limited to the Toddler Program (my child started at 22 months old) during the pandemic. For background, I have had my now toddler in a chain daycare (Kindercare) and a great in home daycare but those are true daycares vs a Montessori school so they are completely incomparable. I only have laudatory remarks about the professionalism and care of The Springs. Mr. Dan, The Head of School (HoS), and Ms. Katelyn the Assistant HoS are absolute leaders. Incredibly responsive to any request and communicative on all aspects of the school, I trust their judgment and appreciate all the efforts to remain operational during COVID. Our teacher Ms. Katelyn D., and her assistant teachers Ms. Belkin and Ms. Ethel are amazing with the children and my tot is THRIVING! I have sent emails late on a Friday or Saturday night to Ms. Katelyn D.,not expecting a response until the next working day, only to find a reply in my inbox within hours. Professional and dedicated, I feel a sense of team between the educators and parents as all focus is on the child. The Springs Montessori has me a true believer in the Montessori methods and although yes, it is more expensive than the other daycares my peace of mind for the well being of my child and results of my happy kiddo worth the price tag. Some perks: -A daily report of diaper changes/ what was eaten/ nap length so you can plan your evening -Catered lunches- no oops I forgot the lunch box on the table moments, such a time saver -Parent teacher conferences- yes for a TWO year old, it's awesome -Weekly photos of your child engaging in activities at school -virtual learning options -online portal to track your child's milestones and communicate on routine admin requirements Things to consider: -It's a school, not a day care, school schedules include seasonal breaks -when things get back to normal the kids wear a uniform, I love this but it does add cost -the parking lot is not great, it's busy! Between the parking lot and COVID mitigation, allot extra time for drop off/ pick up Bottom line- I love this school and my child loves this school too.

Would not recommend. They were not very approachable and do not try to work with the parent. They…read morewould always call me wanting me to pick up my child, because they claimed my child had a tummy ache or was sick. Upon arrival my child was completely fine. I was told once my child had pink eye. After picking them up, my child's eyes were NORMAL. Took them to the pedi. just in case, and was told nothing was wrong with their eyes. Not worth the crazy amount of tuition they charge. Find somewhere else, you DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
