We've been with this daycare for 4 years, and I cannot say enough good things about the care my…read morechildren have received. Monica (the director) and Veronica (assistant director) go above and beyond in every way -- they've supported our family in ways no other daycare would, and they've always done it with kindness and understanding. The level of care here truly starts at the top and flows down to every classroom teacher. Teaching 3- and 4-year-olds is no easy task, but the staff handle it with such patience, grace, and love. My children have grown so much academically, socially, and emotionally during their time here, and I always feel confident they are safe and cared for. If you are looking for a daycare where your children will be treated like family and receive top-notch care, this is absolutely the place.

My son has been attending Brandermill KinderCare for 8 months now and I can't say enough positive…read morethings about this school! He loves his teachers Ms. Haley and Ms. Dana. I believe my son has learned so much because of the two of them. I would not be able to express the amount of gratitude I have. We also love Ms. Becky (cook) who is there most every morning when we arrive with a welcoming smile! So happy we found Brandermill KinderCare!

It's been 3 weeks since my son went to school at Chesterbrook Stony Point, so far we've been very…read morehappy and lucky to have super nice teachers. They're young, bright, and very energetic. I get a report every day about his eating, sleeping, diaper changing, and various activities he's done through out the day. I call EVERY single day, and the principle Sara is super nice, and always give me a snap shot of what my son is up to. She told me I can call as many time as I like, she's super supportive and understanding. They update the app often so I can see the pictures of my son doing his little activities. Infant 1 only has 2 teachers, so there was only 8 children. They had a system, somehow whenever, I come, it was nice and quiet, and the children look BIG, clean, and content. Their curriculum is great, they'd tell us what we are working on with our son so we can also implement at home also. We're going to have more children, and I'd send them here too so we can go through we their programs. I like how there are 200 acres of wood Park right behind the school so the children would get fresh air circulating around.

My son was privileged to have Ms Amanda of the intermediates and also Ms Tori. They are an awesome team Tori took him in as her own and loved him. They were both so patient and loving!! He is now in pre k with even more vetted teachers one of whom had been there since 86. Ms. Tucker is extremely hands on with her curriculum and we get updates as far as activities my son participated in. She challenges him to make him better with retaining his lessons. He has made friends and I'm able to see him active and engaged each day on the playground and in class. My son has sensory setbacks, so my fear was always leaving him alone and being away. Since having him there, I don't want him ANYWHERE else. Bobbie and Sarah are amazing Directors and have both been so so accommodating. All of those ladies are like family. It's really touching to me during a time when childcare is hard to come by and undervalued at times, they always ensure my little boy is okay. That he is learning and not left in the shadows or ostracized. I'm forever grateful for the staff there. Thank you all!! I Absolutely recommend as a phenomenal facility to send your child!

One of the things I've come to appreciate most about LPA is how much my children have grown, not…read moreonly in learning, but in character. I love hearing "please," "thank you," and "excuse me" without having to remind them every time. The kindness and respect they are taught really carry over into everyday life. My children are happy to go to school and becoming more confident and independent each day. As a parent, seeing that kind of growth tells me, I made the right choice. Truly, that cute LPA building on the Springfield road, does MAGIC!

Our 3.5-year-old son started at La Petite Academy of Glen Allen about a month ago, and he comes…read morehome every day saying his school is "amazing" and his teachers are "wonderful" -- hard to beat that review from the actual customer. Pam, the director, clearly cares deeply about the kids and makes every family feel welcome from day one. The teachers we've worked with have all been excellent: very professional, communicative, and organized, but they still keep things fun and playful for the kids. We came from another daycare in the area and can say with confidence that La Petite is a massive upgrade. In just a few weeks, we've seen marked improvements in our son's behavior and how he interacts with other kids. There is a strong emphasis on the classroom as a community, and it really shows--children seem to learn how to play well together, take turns, and be considerate classmates. The structure and expectations in the classroom feel age-appropriate but still set them up for success. I can very easily see our son being more than ready for kindergarten in a couple of years. They keep the kids busy in the best way -- every day our son is learning something new, with lots of hands-on activities and exploration. The app is also fantastic; we get tons of updates and photos throughout the day so we always feel connected to what he's doing. My only (very minor) gripe is the parking lot -- it's a bit small and can get chaotic during peak drop-off and pickup times. But honestly, that's a small trade-off for the level of care and education our son is getting. Overall, we're extremely happy we made the switch and highly recommend La Petite of Glen Allen to other families.

My son, who has ADHD, was dismissed suddenly and without prior warning--a decision that violated their own three-step disciplinary policy. What we experienced: Incident reports that were vague, inconsistent, and never properly shared, despite numerous formal requests Missed doses of ADHD medication with no timely communication Ongoing bullying that was brought up multiple times and never addressed A rotating door of teachers, inconsistent structure, and poor classroom management Staff who told my child he would be "sent home" if he couldn't "get it together"--which is especially damaging to a child with behavioral challenges We tried for weeks to resolve this professionally, but the lack of transparency and follow-through from leadership was extremely disappointing. Precious Time may advertise inclusion, but our experience said otherwise. If your child needs support or structure beyond the basics, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

I have showed my concern multiple times. On Friday I talked to Mrs.Robins and she was being rude and a racists towards me. She was not understanding at all and the facts were over looked. No one has yet to show me how to make payments online. As I am over $600 behind. I was not billed in an advance as shown in the contract. No one took my payment to have it automatically taken out. No communicated with me about it until after a month my daughter started. I have child care subsidy and no one notified about how much I owed until after a month. I have shown my concerns to the owner and nothing is being done. So I'm just getting further behind and no one is doing nothing. Legally I have proof that the contract was breached and this can be taken to court. I am not being heard and no one wants to take accountability. I had a whole break down that caused me to step away from my job from the words that was coming from Mrs.Robin. As for the owner of Precious Time Child Development I am asking to be heard and for something to be done. Unfortunately I would have to take this to court if nothing will be done.

Since moving to the Richmond Metro area, finding excellent, reliable childcare has been challenging…read morefor our family. There are so many great staff members that make Celebree such a warm and supportive learning community for our children. Since starting in Ms. Markesha's room this January my son has thrived socially and developmentally. It's been so special to watch him grow and learn in her class. She also was able to support our potty training journey with our son at school. She parented with us and gave valuable feedback to us while we potty trained at home. Our son is so excited to come to school, and it's clear how much he loves being in her class. Ms. Markesha and Ms. Shae has created such a warm and joyful space to children learn and we are so grateful! Throughout the school day another really wonderful staff member is Ms.Tiffany! My son loves greeting her when he first arrives at school and when she is walking in the halls checking in and supporting classroom teachers. Even though she is not my son's class room teacher, it is evident that she truly cares for my babies and their well being. She shares sweet moments or interactions she will have with my babies any given time I drop them off and pick them up. It shows how much she cares and nurtures my children. Since my son transitioned to the Pre K 3 year old room this summer, Ms. Shanell and Ms. Dali have been wonderful! He has continued his potty training, developed fine motor skills, and is starting to apply academic learning through everyday life. He is learning his days of the week and can identify letters and early letter sounds! She also has made her self available to answer all of my questions or concerns I have in regard to his transition to her room. We are very happy with Ms. Shanell! Ms. Sabrina, the creative genius and art specialist for Celebree School of Henrico is phenomenal! It's clear how much my son loves creating new works of art in her class. She has created such a warm and special space for him to be creative and express himself. Fostering true inquiry based lessons and exploratory self expression is evident in the arts work displayed in the hallways and in the main lobby. Her work is developmentally appropriate for each child , and also provides room for each child to grow and expand their perspectives. She is so patient, encouraging, and caring with each child she encounters at Celebree. It's not easy work doing all the planning, prep, and execution of her lessons, but she makes it look effortless. And finally, Ms. Shilpa and Brianna have been so loving and nurturing towards my baby girl since she started at Celebree at 18 months. Shilpa has been very responsive, and shared many photos of my daughter throughout her day which gave me such peace of mind! My daughter has also really opened up and is loving her teachers in the Toddler B classroom! I have seen her engage in dramatic play, exploratory sensory tables, and developed gross motor skills through dance and creative expressive movement throughout her typical day. I know she is so happy because at home and over the weekend she asks frequently when she will go back to school. We are so happy with Ms. Shilpa in the Toddler B classroom! We cannot say enough praises for Celebree school and their support and care for our children.
