Our second child to go through Foundations is about to head to kindergarten, but before we leave…read morethis wonderful school wanted to share with others looking for daycare what a great experience we've had over the past 6-plus years. Beyond the obvious (they do a great job taking care of the kids all day) our kids had such caring teachers and came away from Foundations "loving school." Their learning, development and social skills were definitely enhanced by the experience. They also formed some really great friendships with classmates. We're very sad to be moving on but extremely grateful for an excellent experience.

My daughter started here a couple months ago, after staying home with me and constantly being since…read moreshe was born, she's now 18 months. Right away you could tell how much she loved it. She is so happy to go every morning and runs and hugs her teachers. The only time I've seen any crying is when her teacher has left before I pick her up. She was sick and out for several days (daycare ick after never being around kids plus being a quarantine baby) and she was extremely excited to go back. She brought me her shoes several times while she was out, indicating she was ready to go, the first day she went back her excitement started as soon as we got in the car to leave and once we pulled up she was overjoyed. They're great about updates, keeping you in the know and have been so patient with me even what I'm sure it wasn't always easy. It's given me a huge piece of mind knowing that she's happy and being taken care of, even if I sometimes I do get just a liiiiitle jealous.

We have been so happy with the quality of care at WCCC. Besides the huge bonus of providing healthy…read morebreakfast, lunch, and snack, we have found all of the teachers we've had to be kind, supportive, and patient. The emphasis on play-based learning provides for lots of outdoor time (they even have an outdoor classroom!) and art projects. Also appreciative of all the field trips. Our girls are excited to tell us about the fun things they do every day.

The staff at Westminster are second to none! I am so, so appreciative of the high level of…read morecommunication I get from my child's teachers - I always know what's going on and really trust them to care for my child. In addition, having such experienced teachers + staff means they are ready to make developmentally-appropriate recommendations for my child (e.g. - making suggestions about when to drop a bottle or switch to one nap). As a person with no prior experience with raising a child, I really value their perspective!

We searched high and low for the right preschool for Miles and finally found it at Chancellor…read moreStreet. The play-based curriculum is just what he needs and the hands-on aspect of a co-op gives us insight into every aspect of his day. We love the focus on music, art and books and that the kids play outside daily, rain or shine. Miles LIVES for Heather and Pam, telling us daily that they are his favorite part of school - high praise, considering his love of play dough! :)

As a mom who has a masters degree in early childhood education I was reluctant to send my daughter…read moreto a preschool. A friend told me about her incredible experience with this particular school and it sparked my interest. After touring the school I just had to apply. I love that it is a play-based curriculum and really focuses on social aspects that kids need to learn. My daughter raves about the two amazing teachers and is genuinely sad when it's not a school day. We love that they incorporate arts, music, and reading into each day. The outdoor play area is full of opportunities for different play scenarios and they go outside no matter what the weather is. I also love that I get to be a part of the school by holding my own job as well as being a "helper" once a month. It makes it feel like you become part of a family. I can't wait to send my son there next year. This is an incredible school and I strongly recommend anyone who is looking for a play based school to take a tour!

Ms. Donna is excellent and the school was phenomenal. We really didn't realize how fantastic the school (the teachers) was until we left Cville and moved to Chicago and have had experiences with other Montessori Schools. This school does a very good job with parent education and communication in general.

Tassia was warm and welcoming from the start. Her passion for child care certainly shows in every…read moredetail at Playful Learners Preschool. Tassia is empathetic, transparent, always open for conversation, and a parent herself. She employs a staff that also models those qualities. Playful Learners Preschool is very well kept, and cleaning is noticeably a priority. Healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided each day. The playground is wonderful, and there is even a small wooded area to explore. The app allows you to easily connect to what your child is learning (and it's always nice to receive cute photos to brighten your work day!) I could go on and on about all the things I value about Playful Learners Preschool, but most importantly, I don't have to question what type of care my children are getting. I know in my absence they are being loved, nurtured, comforted, and encouraged to grow, learn, and explore in a caring environment every day.

Affordable Christian school near Fluvanna County. Less than 100 students. Abeka curriculum is used…read more, however teachers deviate from that course as it suites them. My only gripe with this institution that it does not hold true to their mission statement and "Open Door" policy. Minorities make up less than 1/3 of the population and despite paying the tuition aren't thought of with Christian love or respect for that matter. 4th graders are expected to turn in a Virginia state project and asked to include a hand written copy of "carry me back to old Virginia" a song that was disbarred by the state of Virginia as the official state song in 1997 for its offensive language against people of color. When brought to the teacher and principals attention the response was "well it was written by a black man and this is the song we've always used" wow that makes it that much better ....NOT. The teachers aren't open with communication , don't hold your breath waiting for a callback , and can't give you any information concerning their lesson plans, all parent visitors are asked to notify principal at least two days in advance before visiting classroom
