Love love love this school! We've had our 9 mo old son here for the last 3 months and couldn't have asked for a better start to our son's experience at school.We just love Miss Anne and Miss Nuria. I have full trust, faith, and confidence in them caring for my son each and every day. They are so intentional to personalize their care for him and I am so thankful to how committed they are to helping him grow and develop into a young baby toddler. They have been so loving, caring, and compassionate to our son, and kind and empathetic to us as parents as well. Thank you so much Miss Anne and Miss Nuria, you're a blessing to our family! We love you!We also LOVE Miss Beth and Miss Nicky. They're so sweet to answer all our questions and help us have the best peace of mind when our son's at school.HIGHLY RECOMMEND Winwood Landsdowne. Can't say enough high praises for all the teachers and staff there! :)

I started working at Winwood in March. Even though I’ve only been here for 6 months I feel like I’m apart the Winwood family. The staff and admin work so well together and it’s very rare to find that in a business. Beth is an amazing director and Nicky is the most well organized assist director I’ve ever met! Love the staff, love the admin, love my job!The families are also amazing! I’ve become close with quite a few of the families. We are able to talk, joke, and enjoy each others talks at pick up and drop off.

I cannot say enough great things about this school! This is a very special environment with warm, nurturing, absolutely lovely teachers and school directors. We needed to pull our 3 year old from another, local preschool due some very unsettling conditions. It was very stressful for my husband and I and our son cried everyday and was so stressed to go to school. Until we found Winwood Lansdowne based on a fellow parent's recommendation. Now, our son literally runs/dances down the hallway to his classroom and doesn't want to leave at the end of the day!From the moment I called, I had a great feeling - I felt like they truly listened and understood we needed to quickly pull our son from his previous school and upon touring, both my husband and I felt at ease and confident this was the right environment. Beth, the school Director, is so gracious and caring. She made it easy for us to quickly transition and start within two days. She and her Assistant Director, Makda, are extremely responsive and quick to help parents and children with anything. Their approach to learning and development aligned with what we were seeking and they understood the issues many of us face with pandemic toddlers. It does not feel like a business but a nurturing environment that truly does have the children's best interests at heart. They also know every single child and parent that comes through the door and treat you like family - because we are to them!As for the teachers, we LOVE Ms Tanya and Ms Munia in the preschool class that focuses on potty training. They both have a great energy and are quick with smiles and praise, high fives and big celebrations. They will hold the line with "No's" and teach what is appropriate behavior but without scolding or shaming. The patience and encouragement is exactly what our son needed to unlearn what was allowed at his previous school. The days are structured with the right balance of activities, art projects, music, social play, reading/letters/numbers, small groups and technology. Most days at pick up I get "Mommy, I'm still playing and don't want to go home." which floors me. He's so happy and is excited to go in the mornings!We researched and toured half a dozen schools in the area and are so happy we found Winwood Lansdowne! It really is a special place!

The director Beth is fantastic! The teachers are first class and have cared for all three of my children as if they were their own. I highly recommend the Lansdowne Winwood Children's Center.

My son was home with me for 2 years due to covid, from day one I have felt like he was being taken care of by family. He loves running to Ms. Beth's office to say hello before going to class for the day.

We have been sending our son to Winwood in Landsdowne since he was a few months old. A very professional and family oriented community with an administration and teachers that really want to know the family and ensure your child is getting the best quality of care. I really appreciate the daily reports that show the day's curriculum, pictures, videos, potty schedule, and how well they ate their meal. There are a lot of options for childcare, especially in this area, but we couldn't be happier with this location.

Lansdowne Winwood is home to some of the kindest, HARD WORKING, and lovely care givers I have had the privilege of knowing and working with! Jessica and Beth provide the leadership and thoughtfulness needed to foster a quality atmosphere for their amazing team and sweet children! This school has a charming family of teachers and managers that so tenderly love and serve their community. ~Joy M

We feel so fortunate to have our son in the toddler program at Winwood Lansdowne. Ms. Jessica, Ms. Beth, and all the teachers have been so warm, loving, and welcoming to our son and family. They have made all the difference in making our move out to Leesburg a smooth transition for our family. It is such a great comfort for my husband and I to know that while we're working, our son is so happy, cared for, and well loved! We know he loves it because he can’t stop talking about all of the fun he has there when we pick him up and often wants to stay longer!

First, my little one absolutely LOVES school, he asks me everyday including Saturday and Sunday why there is no school? It was also expressed on my little ones first week there that the teachers are “like mommy, they help me & are really nice” which as a mom, I don’t think there is a more comforting thing to hear from your child while starting at a new school. I had a hard time with sending my little one to school as every mom does, but the care and attention the kids receive is amazing and I can’t thank all of the staff enough for providing a nurturing / fun place for my child to learn in. We’ve noticed big changes and and always comes home and shows us new things that they learned that day, the excitement my child expresses when showing us , just confirms we 100% made the right choice. There is not a better school out there, it doesn’t exist! So from a nervous mom, who has never been away from her child, I thank both Beth, Jess & the teachers at Winwood for providing a safe, nurturing, fun place for my child to learn.I have never struggled with anything more than being comfortable with trusting people with the most important little being in my life, and they made it one of the easiest & best decisions for me.

As a private speech-language therapist, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Director, Jessica Harclerode, and Assistant Director, Beth Fierstein, as well as many of the teachers. They are a group of dedicated, passionate, and talented educators! They care deeply for their students and student families and it shows. Whenever I have sessions at the Winwood of Lansdowne, the kids are always smiling and exploring something new. I believe that the Winwood of Lansdowne creates a safe environment for kids to learn, grow, and thrive!

My three and five year old children are having a great experience at Winwood Children’s Center. Everyday I pick them up they run to me with a smile on their face and tell me they had a great day at school. I have seen significant development in both my children over the school year. The staff has been wonderful. They are responsive and genuinely caring. They take the time to help with any issues and consistently follow up. I could not ask or expect anything more from a pre-school.Sincerely,Michael

I am a first time mom and was a nervous wreck to send my son to daycare for the first time. Winwood Lansdowne has been AMAZING at putting my mind at ease. They are super responsive and on top of things and I feel very comfortable asking questions (which is very often since I'm an anxious person) and they always make me feel better. Jessica and Beth are the best (Director and Asst. Director) and all the nursery teachers (especially Miss Anne, Miss Mia, Miss Alyssa) go above and beyond to ensure a safe and fun environment and make me feel comfortable. We have met many other teachers as well and they all are amazing and very personable. Our son has learned so much so far being there and we wouldn't want him to be anywhere else. We love the home-like feel!

My wife and I have been sending our son to Winwood Lansdowne for five months and have been blown away with the level of professionalism and service that they offer. Our son is always happy and excited to go. The teachers are superb and Jessica and Beth are simply the best. We are grateful that our son has been able to go and thank Winwood--nearly every day--for the care they have provided to him.

Love Winwood! It’s the only daycare I’ve felt comfortable enough to finally put my baby in daycare. They have a great curriculum for all ages, teachers (especially Ms Sonia) are amazing and the facilities are always clean. Highly recommend them! They’ve become like family.

Both my children have been going to winwood for about a year - we are really liking the organization - the curriculum , teachers and management. Kids are happy to go in and have developed so many new skills. They also eat vegetables at school which they never do at home ?Since the school got the new director, Jessica - we have only seen positive changes. Her and Beth make a great teamI am happy with the balanced activities the kids are doing including art, craft , writing and outdoor activities
