Our son has been attending Chesterbrook for nearly a year now -- starting at just 3 months old and…read morenow thriving at 14 months. He's currently in the infant room, where Cherice and Abby serve as his primary teachers. They are both phenomenal and have played a pivotal role in his growth and development. From day one, we felt completely at ease with them, and over time they've come to feel like an extension of our family. Our son absolutely loves them -- something that's clear not only in person, but also in the daily photos we receive through their app. His comfort and attachment to them is very obvious, and it's incredibly reassuring to see. Beyond just Cherice and Abby, the entire staff at Chesterbrook has always been warm, professional, and attentive. It's clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the children. The daycare is clean and thoughtfully structured to support each stage of development. Another bonus: Chesterbrook provides all diapers, wipes, and food, which has made the day-to-day routine for my wife and I much easier.

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!

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.

However, as a parent the most important thing when selecting a daycare was that the people who are caring for our child want to be there, and we feel this is the case at this center.

My daughter went to the program last summer and had a good experience and so we signed her up for…read morethis summer. We're quite disappointed in this year's experience so far. On Monday and Tuesday, the lady at the front desk seemed confused and/or was texting on her phone. Yesterday, we were 2min early and she told us to have a seat in the front because she didn't realize the students had already been called into the class. We noticed that and then she said OK yeah go on back. On both days, I walked my daughter into the class and no Sensei greeted her. There was a female sensei, and she was standing against the wall with her arms behind her back, and I sat there for several minutes and I never saw her approach any of the kids. Today, at drop off, there was no one at the front desk. That's a safety concern. I walked my daughter into the classroom and again, no one greeted her and one Sensei was texting on his phone. It just seems as if the program has been left without adequate supervision and no courtesy greetings or anything acknowledging the kids or offering assistance when they first sit down. It's basically like my kid is just there to sit on the computer by herself for three hours. I asked her if the senseis offer help during the course and she said ....a couple of times. My expectation is definitely more than a couple of times. I wanted to share that feedback with you in case you are the owner or franchisee. Disappointed,

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.
