Everyday he would talk about what he did at camp and what he planned to do tomorrow at camp (it was a coding/design camp). My son loved how the counselors were teenagers who shared the same passion as him and coached him on how to develop maps better. Very nice faculty too where adults can sit in a hallway with a huge glass window and can see what the kids are all doing without disturbing them. Great faculty and staff!

My daughter had an amazing time at one of Adventure Links' summer day camp weeks. She would get…read morepicked up at a spot in Vienna early in the morning then get outdoors-ed all day long. Sometimes they'd go to the park in Clifton (for a lot of the same team building exercises my wife's company had done there); on another day, the kids went caving; and on another day, they went canoeing and swimming. Every evening, she would come back exhausted and happy. What more can you ask for?

Adventure Links has a talented, experienced crew with innovative ideas and a well-trained staff…read more I'm a fan! Most people know Adventure Links for their popular camp programs for children and teens. However, they also offer stellar corporate team building programs, which is how I got to know them. About five years ago, as the CEO of a growing company of 20 professionals, I was struggling with how to address some growing pains and spice up our upcoming quarterly retreat. A friend recommended Adventure Links, so I scheduled a meeting with Anna, the CEO. Anna came to my office and interviewed me to understand my business, our challenges, and what I hoped to accomplish. She asked many questions, listened, and took notes. The next week, we took our team of 20 to their retreat location. Anna and her team had put together an all-day agenda of activities that went way beyond simple ropes courses. What surprised and "sold" me on them was how she'd managed to incorporate our growing pains into her exercises in meaningful ways. Sure, we had fun and bonded, but more importantly most of us began to see certain everyday problems in meaningful new ways, with fresh solutions. To this day our team references those exercises like old Seinfeld episodes. After each exercise - some physically challenging and all mentally challenging - Anna would bring us together and help us draw correlations to some of our corporate issues. It helped that she has a sharp wit and great sense of humor. She and her team also knew when to push and put us on the spot to drive home a point. Six months later, we wanted to bring Adventure Links back for another quarterly retreat, but this time due to bad weather we had to do the exercises in our office. They totally pulled it off! The indoor exercises were unique and again gave us a fresh perspective on both issues and people. An example - during one intense exercise where we split into two teams, a junior staff person had a "eureka!" moment with a brilliant solution to a problem, and spontaneously took control of our team, which included several executives. I had no idea this young lady was so intellectually gifted and capable of leadership under pressure. How valuable is that information for an employer? My firm has engaged Adventure Links several times since then, all with success. When my children are old enough, I'll be sending them to the Adventure Links camps...I know they'll learn and have fun. Adventure Links rocks!

Kids R Kids is worth every penny. My son attended camp there the summer before Kindergarten and we…read morewere so impress that we enrolled him in their Private, Accredited Kindergarten. His teachers have experience in public school and many of them hold advanced degrees in Education. We like that all the food provided to the children everyday is made fresh, on premises, by a full-time employee of KRK. KRK provides a really clean, healthful environment that facilitates learning.

The type of environment you select for your little ones, is one of the most important decisions to…read morebe made! At KRK, they treat every little one like their own. From the time you step in the (secure) door, until the time you come to retrieve your child, you can trust that they are in great hands. KRK offers live video feed for you to check-in at any time during normal operating hours, as a perk. The teachers/staff here are highly rated. The amount of care, enrichment, and level of details offered can't be beat!! I have witnessed the amount of attention paid to kids from the infant room and above. To see them have a conversation with an infant using sign language was a true highlight. One of the things I love most is that they have several ways to be a part of their growing family, even if you are not currently a daily visitor. They offer after-school and summer camps, before school care, and monthly parents-night-out (PNO) activities. The PNO's are amazing! KRK is like the coolest party in town on these nights. The kids are welcomed and loaded with tons of fun and learning activities. From movies to bounce houses, the kids LOVE it all. Dinner is included with the PNO fee and they typically offer about five (5) hours of care. If that isn't enough, Kids R Kids have the cutest little boo-boo room should your little one fall ill, etc. It's a temporary spot that's set up to care for a sick child. Private bed, initial medical equip (bandages, etc.), and trained staff. This is still a child-care facility, so if you think 'things' will not happen, you are wrong. Kids are kids. They push, they bite, they bicker, they scream, and they kick. The difference is having staff and leadership who will act promptly and appropriately when these things happen. I can attest to being able to address issues to staff and teachers directly. One must be understanding that although their ratios of students:teachers suffice, eyes can not be everywhere at every minute. If you see something, say something. KRK staff offers a REAL open door policy. Talk to them at any time...even if you are just a 'visiting' family. If you are looking for child-care, camps, before/after school care, date night supervision, or private kindergarten, KRK is what you want! Take some time to pay them a visit or call for more information. The staff would love to help answer any questions.

I was looking for one riding lesson for my 15 year old daughter. Our time frame to attend was…read morequite narrow, but Lucia was able to squeeze us in by exhausting every possibility, and by being extremely flexible with the Farm´s schedule.

We were very happy to attend, and remain grateful. Mario (Lima, Peru)

My 5 1/2 year old has been begging for horseback riding lessons, but I hesitated to sign her up…read morebecause I didn't think she was quite old/strong enough to control a horse. I signed her up for a One-day Horsemanship Camp, which was a 3 hour class that taught the basics about horseback riding and horses. The instructor, Lucia, carefully and repeatedly instructed the children on how to be safe on and around horses. I was very impressed with the emphasis on safety. We will be taking lessons here again.

This is an unsafe and uncaring learning center. It was actually a different center before they…read moreclosed and it was even worse. It seems like this institution just wants quick and easy money; licensing should stop by and take a peek because ratios in classrooms aren't followed, diaper wearing children sit in their messes for hours on end and the workers seem more interested in their phones. All in all, save your money and find people who actually love children and want them to advance in life. Do NOT recommend.

I had my 2 year old son for three weeks in this daycare and it was the worst experience for my son,…read moremy wife and me. Don't get carried away by the directors words and promises, teachers taking care of the kids will not keep them. Both the teachers who were responsible for my son were rude and unprofessional. The daycare were trying to convince me and my wife that there was sometime wrong with my child. My son is in a different daycare now and he couldn't be any happier. If you really don't want your child to be scarred for life please don't send your child to this dare care.

The Recreation Center is Amazing. There are so many things and it's such a pillar for the…read morecommunity. First off, this is a voting center for a lot of people. When I voted here, in the Senior Center, it was great to meet and greet with volunteers from the Senior Center who told us more about the activities they do on that side. They put on social events and dances and educational programs. I would have never known. There is a Louduon Rec Center Guide that comes out seasonally. Within it, there are classes for kids and adults on activities at the rec center and surrounding. I signed up for a few things for our family members and other than one event, they all were exceptional! I recently came for a Play All Day event. There was demonstrations in the lap pool, scavenger hunt in the leisure pool for kids, Bounce houses outside, dancing class for seniors, live band and food trucks, etc. It was amazing to see the facilities and use the rock wall for free. The daily passes to the rec center are so reasonable too with $6 for adults and $4 for kids. They even have family passes if people from the same house hold are coming together. As I continue to discover more and more about the recreation center, and meet all the wonderful people that work here; I continue to get more and more amazed at this place and their offerings. It's great running into your neighbors and bonding with the new summer staff from local high schools.

The place was clean and beautifully decorated - I asked and confirmed that it was done by an interior designer - no wonder! The teachers and the staff are truly amazing and supportive! Their spotlight on kindergarten to prepare my daughter for kindergarten next year is extremely helpful and takes the load off of us to prepare her! I feel like their tuitition is very fairly priced. They have the best celebrations for birthdays and other holidays. Their recent trick or treat was a super hit party and was enjoyed by parents and kids! The food is also included as part of the tuition unlike other competitiors that charge extra - I look at the menu daily and it is diverse and healthy!! Thanks for the great experience, Everbrook!

My children have attended HCA since 1/2022. We decided to the move to the Prince William County…read morearea after living in Loudoun County for approx 8 years. We were looking for a school in the area that was not only rich in their curriculum, but a school that was diverse in its culture and one that embraced children of all ethnicities. I noticed that during Black Histoy Month (2/2023), there were no initiatives highlighted in the February Monthly newsletter to recognize the contributions of the many African-Americans that have contributed to American History. I decided to email the staff with ideas in which Black History Month could be incorporated into the curriculum, considering that there were a number of African-American students enrolled at HCA. I received a phone call immediately from one of the Administrators (Mrs. Juliana) stating that this was an oversight and that they would be sure to highlight Black History Month. I had a follow-up conversation with the Curriculum Specialist (Mrs. Giovanna)...and to my surprise, she had incorporated many of the items that I highlighted in my email! Not to mention, how swiftly she acted upon this. I would like to extend my SINCEREST gratitude for all that HCA has done for Black History Month and everything that they are instilling in my children daily. I was thoroughly impressed with the various learning activities the students participated in throughout the month. They exceeded my expectations on highlighting African-American culture and the many great achievements of some of the well-known Black pioneers that have contributed to AMERICAN HISTORY. Efforts such as these make my husband and I confident that we have selected the right school for our children. We look forward to our children thriving in a school environment that promotes diversity and inclusion, as well as high educational standards. Job well done HCA!!
