My children have attended River’s Bend Children’s Center for just about 5 years and will continue to do so for latchkey care. Both my boys began in the infant room and have moved through to the preschool building. I cannot say enough good things about them. My children are safe, educated, and loved by the entire team. My oldest has multiple food allergies and they have taken the time to learn about them and provide alternative meals for him. Communication from Amanda and Clark Andrs is open and honest. Behavioral conversations are timely and encouraging, with a focus on how parents and staff members can work together to correct an unwanted behavior. With two young boys, we have had our share of those calls! As proactive parents, we’ve taken the route of working together with staff members, developing a relationship that will last for many years to come. We’ve stayed in touch with many of the young women who’ve since left for college or to further their careers. They love my children and I have truly enjoyed watching them grow into adulthood, some becoming parents themselves.RBCC has been an active participant in my children’s development since their time in the infant room. Every teacher is dedicated to their own learning to provide the highest quality curriculum to the children. They truly care about every child they have the privilege to have in their classrooms. My oldest is starting kindergarten this year and the teachers who did his screening were beaming afterwards. They were thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and social interaction.Your child will thrive here, academically and socially!

If I could give RBCC 10 stars I would. The owners of RBCC are one of a kind. They care for these kids as if they were their own. Both facilities are top notch, offering SAFE & CLEAN environments. These kids have so much fun every day, all while LEARNING! I wouldn't take my child anywhere else, period!

No concern for childrens emotions. Getting paid to watch kids but don’t know how to handle a child’s temper tantrum. Let a child down and kicked the child out because of the fit and the owner was going out of town and they didn’t want to deal with it, rather then showing grace and compassion to a child.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rivers Bend Children's Center. My son has been attending since he was 2 and I wouldn’t think of taking him anywhere else. Amanda & Clarke are wonderful and all of the Teachers are amazing. You can see the love they have for all of the children. My little one is really shy and has a hard time adjusting to change but he quickly adjusted and I have no doubt it has everything to do with the way Amanda and Clarke run their schools. I appreciate the open communication, feedback and professionalism everyone shows. They truly make you feel like family. I cannot recommend a better place to send your child.

When we were considering sending our youngest child into daycare like many parents we had a laundry list of “must haves” and wanted to make sure they are in the best environment not only for safety but developmentally as well. I have to acknowledge and disclose the amount of care, and attention our daughter has received since being enrolled there has been nothing short of outstanding. I am completely satisfied and would recommend Rivers Bend Childcare 5 out of 5 times. The way they are incorporating education and child develop is done in a manner that really shows progress in the children. I am confident that when it is time to move into the elementary school system our child will be more then prepared than the average. As a parent we all have our own “gut/ instinctual feelings” because of Rivers Bend Childcare and the leadership from Clark and Amanda provide I am 1000% confident and have one less thing to have stress and anxiety around.

I have personally known the owners of River’s Bend for over a decade and must say they are the kindest, most hard working people I know in child care. They go above and beyond for their families and work hard to provide a home away from home that is a good for families. They have a wonderful program and absolutely love what they do. If you are looking for a loving environment where your child will thrive, go meet the great staff of River’s Bend.

RBCC has been such a blessing to our family! Our children started out at a home daycare with a family member and we were nervous to make the switch to a public center. The staff is so welcoming and reassuring that they were in good hands and I’ve never once questioned it! Clark and Amanda go above and beyond for all of these children and their families. They are so involved and make a point to develop a personal relationship with your child. My boys absolutely adore them and I know they care for them like they are their own. We drive out of our way to take them to RBCC, passing several other centers along the way because this is a place that felt like home for our children!

I absolutely love Rivers Bend Children’s Center! Everyday is a blessing to work with such smart children and astonishing team! Both Clark and Amanda Andrs are such amazing, caring, inspirational, supportive, motivating, and understanding bosses anyone could possibly ask for. I 100% recommend Rivers Bend Children’s Center to any parent looking for a well structured and loving environment!

In 2018, my daughter was enrolled in a daycare in Williamsburg while I was stationed at Fort Lee. The daycare was NOT a good fit for my daughter- I won’t go into details, however, I was completely panicked. Here I was with a 3 month old, active duty military, and NO childcare. I called RBCC, in this complete panic, I’m trying to explain the situation to Mrs. Amanda over the phone- a woman I’ve never met. I know I sounded like THAT crazy mom. She listened, comforted me the best she could, took down my information and told me she would call me back. Well, Mr. Clark was driving the bus route- she was waiting for him to get back. She ended up calling me back at 7pm! Said she had talked to Mr. Clark and if I can get all the paperwork and forms done, they’d find me a spot to be able to start immediately. I cried, y’all, I cried on the phone. Monday morning, her first day, I was feeling all kinds of emotions, I was met at the door with open arms and a happy smile. My daughter never took a bottle, I had to go IN PERSON to breast feed her every 3-4 hours, they were more than accommodating. Throughout our entire time at RBCC I can assure you, there’s no better place for your child. Mrs. Amanda and Mr. Clark are the most involved owners you’ll ever come across. They know each child’s name, some fun facts about them, their siblings names, favorite colors, allergy lists, you name it. I’ve personally witnessed Mr. Clark popping into the classrooms just to say hi to his “friends”, and ALL the kids LOVE him! He’s such a big kid! Mrs. Amanda has a heart of pure gold- one time when Carsyn was sick, she called me, of course being the helicopter mom I am, I’m panicked, she was so calm, helpful, and genuinely cared about both me and my child. I said all of that to say, if you’re on the fence or considering RBCC, you will not regret it- they are HANDS DOWN the best daycare/preschool around.

Though I have interacted previously with little opinion.my Interaction today let me know that the owners are obnoxious.

Both my sons were enrolled at Rivers Bend Childrens Center for many years from full time to before/after school as they got older. Summer camp portion was fun for them! They kept the kids busy and engaged in field trips and other in house activities. My sons always had fun during the summer there, so I recommend the summer camp, for sure. Clark/owner was always available if concerns arose and quickly addressed issues.

Love taking our child here! The staff are super friendly, and treat us like gold. Highly recommend giving them the opportunity to take care of your kids and see how wonderful they really are. Dont let the bad reviews fool you, they are few and far between. I wouldn't bring our child anywhere else!!!
