“I loved bright start when we lived there. I was really upset when the owner sold.I absolutely love Bright Start. I have zero complaints, they are worth every penny. My daughter lights up when she sees her teachers, and that is such a great feeling. She's in the infant room and has come so far developmentally in the few months that she's been there. I love the app updates with pictures and videos. I love the live video stream. I love that they take them outside everyday when the weather is nice. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The staff are always smiling genuinely, and they love the kids as much as the kids love them. Bright Start is everything you want in a daycare!”
“We had an amazing experience with kiddie academy, specifically for our son’s time in the Anglefish room from 3-6 months. The caregivers were communicative, loving, and engaged. Iris is particularly amazing always taking time to talk to us and tell us about our son’s day. She is truly part of what made our experience so positive. The other teachers Brenda, Mercedes, and Ruth are also amazing. Drop off is so much easier knowing your kid is in caring hands. Our experience with kiddie academy has been amazing because of these ladies.”

“We joined Bright Horizons when our child was 6 months old, and truthfully we only left because we needed to be closer to family out of state. Otherwise, we would’ve stayed here for as long as possible! Everyone at Bright Horizons is so nice and welcoming. We especially loved Ms. Sam and Ms. Jina, who have become like family to us and to our child. These two are the best! We love this center so much and truly will come back with our kiddo to visit!”
“The dedicated staff and administrators at Hopkins House - McNeil Preschool Academy genuinely care for the children and their well-being. They go the extra mile to create a nurturing and supportive environment where every child can thrive. While communication isn't always perfect, they constantly strive to maintain clear lines of dialogue between parents and teachers, keeping you informed and involved in your child's educational journey. They actively encourage parent participation through engaging events and volunteer opportunities, fostering a strong sense of community within the school and beyond. And perhaps most importantly, Hopkins House - McNeil Preschool Academy remains one of the most affordable options in the area, making quality education accessible to all. It's truly a place where children, families, and the community come together to learn, grow, and create something special.”

“I can't say enough good things about Westminster Weekday Preschool. My daughter attended last year and is registered for next year too, and I am an elementary teacher myself. The teachers and administration are so caring and patient, and they helped my daughter when she had a difficult time adjusting. She loves her teachers and her friends. The rates are very reasonable, especially considering the amount of activities and programming WWP offers. The Conscious Discipline approach is a respectful way of teaching children expectations and boundaries while empathizing with their feelings and teaching them to advocate for themselves. We are lucky to be part of the WWP community!”

I have seen impressive leaps in his understanding of letters, words, art, math and social skills, and all he ever does is "play with his friends". A fun environment with a skilled program, it was a perfect place for his first year!”

“My daughter has been attending this Kindercare for about a year and a half and I just want to say that this daycare is absolutely wonderful! Each day, she is greeted with smiles, warmth, and positive words from her teachers. I can tell that every member of the staff truly cares about the kids and I continually see them treat each and every one with kindness. I’ve enjoyed watching my daughter grow so beautifully from the care and education she has received. From learning new words and songs to developing her social skills and executive functions, Kindercare offers a well-rounded program that any child would benefit from. I truly cannot recommend them enough!”

“Absolutely the best school!! My son has been going for over a year and my youngest started at 6 weeks. I was completely lost when she had to go back especially during a pandemic but Ms. Casey and Ms. Maalika were awesome. I received multiple pictures from both class each day which gave me tremendous comfort. My daughter would jump into their arms every morning for drop off and just smile during pickup, which made me feel even better. The infants teachers are the best they make sure the kids are well taken care of and even sent me a video of my daughters first steps?. My preschoolers classroom never failed to amaze me with all the new things they were learning. Some of which my 4 year old corrected me on lol. I whole heartedly love this school and most importantly the family we have made. Choosing this place was nothing short of amazing.”
“My daughter (7 y) started violin and piano at Del Ray School of Music in Fall 2021. Less than a year, in May 2022 she had her first violin performance at her elementary school. She is happy, confident; her dad and I are so proud of her. All this, thanks to the excellent work of her music teacher Steve Attix. I usually do not take time to give reviews but now I am so happy of my daughter's joy, self confidence and discipline, that I've decided to make it publick for parents looking for a good school of music for their children like I was once before the great experience with Del Ray School of music. Give it a try, see for yourself!”

“This daycare is fabulous. Most of the staff have been there for years which tells you that the culture there is good. My son has been in Ms. Nikki's pre-k class for about 8 months. The staff is so fantastic. My son is heading into kinder and on a 504 for ADHD and when the staff at the elementary school learned he was coming out of Ms. Nikki's class, they were thrilled. They said kids coming out of her class transition well to kindergarten. The admin at the daycare are also wonderful. The director was very responsive to any concerns I had, and had meetings with my sons play therapist to make sure the school staff knew what was going on with my son and how best to support him. I truly can't recommend this center enough!”

“My daughter attended capital kids for a little over a year, and we are sad that we have to leave because we are moving out of the area. Miss Lisa, the owner was very helpful and accommodating every step of the way. Ms. Shawnta, Ms. Joyce and Ms. Olivia have been the best with teaching her, and keeping her well fed and best of all well loved. I truly feel like they treated my child as if she was one of their own.”
“I enjoy the leadership and direction this schools has. My child has progressed in many ways because of his teachers and the staff. They are honest, take feedback and are gentle. I think many parents can benefit from their children going here.”
“Flagstone is great. My daughter was there from 8 weeks old until about 5 yrs old. The location is great and I love the historical looking school house with the huge playground and yard. The class sizes are small and grouped and set-up accordingly. They offer so many events where parents and families can be a part of celebrations. It is well organized and they keep up on training and keep the children engaged and working in milestones.”
“Our daughter attended Childtime at the Alexandria location in 2017,18, 19, and 2021. Childtime did a great job, preparing our daughter for kindergarten. Our daughter made many friends there, and the staff were very supportive and friendly”
“We have been at this school for 3 years and all 4 of my children (ages pre-K through 4 grade) have loved it so far. I love that they are openly Catholic go to Mass every week, pray as a school (sometimes even the full Rosary!) and talk about virtue and Saints! The academic’s has been a challenge for my children but in a good way! All the kids have all felt safe and happy with the wonderful staff.”
“Shout out to Ms. Ronnique, Mary, Leslie, Becky, and Shantel! Both of my children (3 and 5 y.o.) have had an amazing experience at Goddard. The admin staff are all very friendly and they are extremely organized. BONUS: There are a lot of wonderful family events. 10/10”
