We recently moved to the Broadlands area from out of state. While we were still in out of state,…read morewe began our search for a preschool for my 4-year-old daughter and a before/after school program for my older son. This was very stressful since we did not know the area here very well. I called many schools in the area for pricing and to learn more about their programs. When I called the Merit School of Broadlands, I got to speak with the Director, Caitlin, who was not only able to tell me all about the programs at Merit and answer my many questions, she also shared with me important information about the Broadlands community and the Northern VA area. The fact that she took the time to discuss this with me, not even knowing if I was going to enroll my children, demonstrates a genuine kindness and customer service that I was really impressed with. When I was able to finally tour the school with my 4-year-old daughter, I was impressed with how the Assistant Director, Jessica, was so warm and welcoming towards her. She introduced her to the teacher and let her spend some time in the classroom while I went on the tour. In the front lobby/office area there are large TV screens that show what is happening in the classrooms. It is great for parents who just want to check in on their child without disturbing them. During this tour, I got to see how my daughter was adjusting and interacting with the other students by watching her on the monitors rather than hovering over her. I also really appreciated the security of the building. Each family has a unique code to enter the facility, so outsiders cannot just walk in. In addition, I liked how the school is new and everything was very clean. They also have an amazing playground, which is definitely a bonus for the kids! After touring the Junior Kindergarten classroom, the School Age classroom, and learning more about the curriculum and extracurriculars, I decided to enroll both of my children. My children have now been at the Merit School of Broadlands for about 2 months and we are very pleased with our decision. My youngest is in the full day JK class and she loves it! We are very pleased with how much she has learned in the short time she has been there. She's even learned some Spanish! She comes home happy every day. I also get updates and pictures throughout the day of what the class is learning and pictures of my daughter engaged in different activities or play. It gives me peace of mind to know that she is in good hands. The Before/After School Program is amazing for working parents. My son is able to ride the Merit bus to his elementary school and it picks him up in the afternoon. I also get updates of when he leaves on the bus to go to school and when he arrives back at Merit in the afternoon. My son feels so grown up in the school age room with lockers and computers to use. When the kids get there they have snack, homework time, and outside time. In addition, the Merit School offers other activities for the children. Both of my children have been able to participate in field trips. They have spirit weeks and family events to promote a sense of community. They even host Parent's Night Out events which is wonderful for parents and super fun for our kids. Most recently, they hosted a Scholastic Book Fair for the students. The Merit School of Broadlands has been great for our family and has helped to make the transition to Virginia an easy one for our children.

Over 5 years later with that baby in kindergarten, I can say with confidence that Everbrook is all that and more. Angela, the principal, is one of best early childhood educators out there. She's put together an amazing team, and they support both you and your child (ren) through every stage. I have consulted Angie and her staff on how best to help my kiddo through everything from potty training and sleep regressions to reward systems. My kiddo (and the entire Junior Kindergarten class) graduated into Kindergarten not only with all the skills they needed to succeed in Kindergarten, but also understanding phonics and able to read simple books! Now part of LCPS, we are thrilled to continue at Everbrook as part of the School Age offerings and summer camp. I cannot reccomend Angela, her team, and Everbrook strongly enough.

The advice on how we can also support his development with care recommendations, sleep ideas, and recipe suggestions is also much appreciated since having a baby is still so new to us.  Our boy is doing so well and it's thanks to warm guidance and prepared environment here at Guidepost.

I wrote this piece for my FB the day PJ grew up this past Tuesday. Sweet, warm but melancholic but…read moreit really hit me that day... "I came into the fatherhood game late in life. And as most of you know time is fleeting when you see your child grow. It doesn't hit you at once. It slowly envelopes you and brings realization that he's quickly growing up. This morning as I do I walk him to his school entrance door at 7:30 bc he wants to be the first one in. Just yesterday we did our usual routine of talking outside and me asking for one last hug and kiss. He walks thru the door and stands along the wall with some classmates and tells me not leave but to watch him walk down the hall...a city block long... every couple of feet he turns and waves, smiles and continues down until he is just a yellow fleece sleeve waving at me. Then this morning the door opens and he turns quickly and says "daddy, quick last hug and kiss" then through the door starts his walk. This time all alone. Walking confidently, so self assured, he was 6' tall like he was going to work. How does this happen? He's only 5. Just yesterday he was a tiny baby, we napped in the hot summer afternoon and now he doesn't need my hand.....I cherish every moment with him as if it were the last, telling stories under the covers, of two bluebirds that watch him play and talk about him....." We attribute his self assured level headed maturity to you and your program over his 1st 5 years. He is mow the sweetest boy, a good healthy 5 yr old. His passion for reading and creativity continues to grow every day. Thank you.

Like an overachieving aspiring tiger mom, I did my due diligence and toured 5+ schools! Winwood won our hearts. Pros for Winwood are 1) their flexibility with variations of 2-5 half/full day schedules and 2-week payment vs inflexible options of other places 2) Ms Tish is super welcoming and understanding while giving the right level of authority that even my Monkey listens to 3) All the validation to show that my child is cared for, socializing, and having fun (there are daily reports, photos, a video camera access). 4) Covid-conscious - the staff does all necessary protocol and teachers are properly masked. 5) My kiddo is super happy between learning about volcanos and chasing around his besties trio as dinosaurs 6) While we have moved away since but Ms Katie and Ms Nimisha still are at the tip of my kiddo's tongue for being such caring educators.
