This is the most wonderful hidden gem Manassas has to offer in child care. My littlest struggled in the transition from babysitter to Daycare. I have visited about 90% of the facilities in Manassas. They focus on family values, social interaction, behavioral improvement, as well as academics. This facility allows children to be children. Every other facility I have been to only allows 30 minutes for outside time. No outside time in the snow. That's ridiculous. The reason for obesity in America. Caterpillar values learning through play. My child is allowed to explore, plant flowers, play in the snow, take mini field trips, and learn while having fun. If you want your child to be a mini adult, sucking their youths away for 9 to 10 hours a day, take them somewhere else. If you want to take them to a magical land of imagination, discovery, and learning, take them to Caterpillar Clubhouse in Manassas. Look at the wonderful mini shops, kitchens, post office, cabin, sand play area, dance area, etc. they have to offer. Their floors are worn from the multiple little feet that have trampled on them, but do not let that be your basis for judgment. Many of the teachers are Mothers. There are gentleman teachers that are there to start their dreams of teaching and starting their own sports programs (and happy to share their aspirations). It's rare to find young men in the daycares, and an absolute treasure. These young men provide the male influence that many children lack. All of the teachers are kind, supportive, understanding (especially when your child is having a bad day). They are open at 5:30 AM, and have little mats for your child to get in that extra little sleep. Rare. I cannot say enough great things. Walk in and get to see inside those rooms. You will want to be a kid again. I rarely write reviews, but this one I stand by 100%. -Mother of two boys, 10 and 5 years of age (especially challenging 5 year old.) read more
