Not only did I work here during a few summers, I also attended this place for pre-school…read more this is such an amazing pre-school with an amazing staff (not being biased). the summer camp program is amazing. the food is amazing. the chefs in the kitchen are friendly and always cook delicious food for the children. this is a family owned day care that has been around forever. the building has cameras on the outside and inside.. along with access cards for the parents to enter the building (for safety). the summer camp program is quite fun and im sure any child would love it. from what i remember... every Monday during the summer the children would go roller skating at a nearby roller rink that was rented out. Then every Tuesday the children would go to a family owned miniature golf place. Wednesdays would be pool day.. spend half the day with the children at the local public outdoor pool. thursdays would be bowling day.. get to go bowling at the local bowl america. fridays would be movie and event day.. movies in the morning.. and events in the afternoon (fair, petting zoo, circus, magic show, etc.). definitely send your child there if you live in the area! sure beats those other summer camp programs!

We ended up at Merit when my son's previous school had closed. It was a blessing in disguise. Of…read morecourse this all happened right before we had to travel, but the staff helped me get registered effortlessly. I really feel that everyone at Merit cares very much about the kids. I haven't met a person that wasn't smiling or enthusiastic with the kids yet. The teachers get children up to speed without stressing you or the child out about it. My son talks about all of the interesting things that he is learning and leaves with the biggest smile each day. I can tell that he is happy here (and he used to be a clinger at drop-off!)

I am a member of the class of 2025 and I want to share what four years here have felt like from the…read moreinside. The biggest problem is consistency. Rules exist in the handbook but they rarely get enforced in daily life. Students notice this quickly. When deadlines get ignored and consequences rarely follow, effort drops. Many classmates stopped studying because they know they will still pass. Instead of learning material, a lot of students copy work from each other or rely on AI tools to finish assignments and even quizzes. The environment slowly trains people to aim for completion instead of understanding. Teaching quality also varies a lot. Some teachers explain clearly and care about whether students understand. Others rush through slides, assign work without context, and move on whether anyone gets it or not. When students feel lost and no one checks in, they stop asking questions. Over time classes turn into grade management instead of education. Students memorize short term facts, submit work, and forget it immediately after. Lunch is another daily frustration. Prices are high compared to portion size and quality. Meals often feel closer to convenience food than something prepared fresh. I got sick after eating there once and several friends have said the same. The cafeteria also only has two microwaves. Because many students bring food from home, lines stack up fast. Waiting ten minutes is normal and arguments happen over who was first. I have seen people push in front of others and threaten them over a place in line. Staff rarely step in unless it becomes loud. Substance use happens more often than people expect from a private school. Students leave class claiming they need the restroom and go vape or smoke. It is common knowledge which bathrooms people use for this. Yet students almost never get caught. When problems do surface, they tend to disappear quietly. Discipline does not always feel equal either. Some students face harsh punishment while others seem protected. There are also situations where administration response feels more focused on avoiding attention than addressing behavior. Incidents get handled internally and rarely discussed openly with the student body. Because of this, rumors spread and trust drops. Students start believing rules depend on who you are instead of what you did. Tuition is another major concern. The yearly cost is close to college level unless families meet certain religious qualifications for a lower rate. At the same time, resources inside the school do not always match the price. The campus added a new building recently and money feels tight in other areas. Programs shrink, teachers leave, and students notice classes getting larger or combined. From the outside the school looks structured and high achieving. Tours highlight facilities, uniforms, and college acceptance banners. Daily life feels different. Many students focus on getting by instead of improving. Cheating is common, discipline feels uneven, and basic services like lunch and supervision struggle to keep up. After four years here, my honest view is simple. The school has potential and some great teachers, but the overall experience does not match the cost or reputation. Families looking at it should talk to current students and not rely only on appearances.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a senior at PVI in the class of '25. I am not writing this…read moreout of hate, but of experience. Most of the teachers here never enforce rules, nor do they teach in a way that students can easily understand. This latency leads to many students developing (if not already developed) an entitlement ideology, which leads to them using things like chatgpt in order to cheat on assignments and tests because they don't feel like they need to complete them. The cafeteria food is overpriced, not safe for regular consumption, and not that good. I got food poisoning one day because I had something from the cafeteria. They also only have 2 microwaves in the cafeteria for those who wish to reheat food, leading people to either over-pack microwaves or wait upwards of 10 minutes at a time to get their food. I was even threated by another student that he would "slime me" because I wouldn't give him my spot in the microwave line. They have a large drug problem, kids often get out of classes to smoke or vape or huff in the bathrooms, and are not usually caught. The only way this doesn't get out to the public is because they are scarily good at covering up the bad stuff here. During my freshman year one of the male juniors had sex with a female freshman in one of the confessionals and when the school administration found out, only the freshman was expelled and the situation was covered up. The charge what is worth of a college (More than $22k per year), unless you are both baptized and confirmed (I believe it is around $12k per year). They are in a great state of debt due to their latest purchase of a new building and will do anything (including firing a teacher) in order to avoid getting sued. All in all, do not go to this school. Its education prowess is at the same level as a regular, public high school. Most of its students cheat on tests and do not care about having sex or doing drugs at school. It costs outrageous amounts of money and will cover up any discourse in its property. It is all empty looks with nothing going on behind the scenes

Dear Learning Paths Dominion Valley!…read more We wanted to reach out and say thank you to the Baby Steps II teachers and the Administrative staff at Learning Paths Dominion Valley! We love the attention to detail and the fun ways our daughter is kept engaged! The overall communication is great and it is apparent the team has a very strong leadership with Ms. Tina! We loved this daycare so much we have recommend it to all of our friends in the area with small children. Thank you again for everyone's hard-work and genuine love for our child!

I have been working at Minnieland Academy at Dominion Valley for 9 years now. When I tell you that…read morethis learning facility is amazing, it's more than just words. The staff, families, and most importantly, the children, have helped me grow and become the best version of myself. I have learned so much in my time here that has helped me not only in my career, but in my personal life as well. I have built lasting friendships and relationship with some of the families and staff, and it always warms my heart to see these children's smiling faces every morning. This is the most gratifying career I could have chosen, and I cannot imagine doing anything else or being anywhere else. The love and kindness that radiates from the teachers here is beyond measure. The pride they take in their jobs as educators is expansive. I am so proud to be a part of this team

I don't feel like I have the right words to fully capture how incredible this preschool is, but…read moreI'll do my best. We are truly grateful for our time at Centreville Preschool Inc. (CPI). Every detail, from curriculum planning to fundraisers and school events, is thoughtfully planned with so much care and love. The staff genuinely wants to help shape the future of our children, and that meant everything to me when choosing a preschool. As a parent who values being involved and understanding what my child is learning, I can confidently say their communication is exceptional. You truly feel included and informed every step of the way. Having parents as part of the staff and welcomed into the classroom creates a strong sense of community and gave us such peace of mind when sending our child to their first preschool. I cannot thank the CPI staff, teachers, and families enough for the kindness, support, and care they've shown not only to our family, but to all families. This is a wonderful place to send your little one, especially if you value being involved in their education. I highly recommend CPI to anyone looking for a preschool. We look forward to sending our future children to CPI and continuing to be part of the CPI family.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel an obligation to other parents to share our experience…read more My daughter attended this preschool until recently, when she was violently bitten by another child--an incident that was both shocking and heartbreaking. What made this even more distressing was that this child had reportedly shown concerning, aggressive behavior for months. My daughter (like other children in the class) became afraid to go to school because of this child and started to pretend to be sick on schooldays. Multiple parents raised concerns and filed formal complaints, hoping the school would put proper support systems, supervision, and communication in place. Unfortunately, nothing meaningful ever happened. I want to be clear: I don't blame the child. Children who act out physically are almost always struggling in some way and need gentle, consistent support from the adults responsible for their care. My heart truly goes out to this little one. Children show us they need help in the only ways they know how--and it's the school's job to respond appropriately. The problem here was the school's complete lack of action. They did not communicate effectively with parents, including (shockingly) the parents of the child involved in the ongoing behavior. That lack of communication appears to have allowed a difficult situation to escalate unnecessarily, ultimately hurting multiple families. After my daughter was bitten, we made the immediate decision to withdraw her. What stunned me most was what happened next: nothing. No exit interview. No request for feedback. No inquiry about why we were leaving. No apology. Not even a word from her teacher. We simply unenrolled her the next day, and the school never acknowledged it at all. This was an incredibly disappointing and disheartening ending to what we hoped would be a nurturing environment. I sincerely hope the school takes a long, hard look at its communication practices and its responsibility to support all children--both the ones being hurt and the ones doing the hurting. Kids deserve better, and so do parents.

I really enjoyed aiding in the classroom regularly, watching the children thrive at school and assisting in all the seasonal events. Miss. Jess and Miss. Porsha will treat your child like one of their own children, and treat you like a long-time friend. It's a collaborative environment, in which teachers work with each child's strengths and weaknesses, then communicate ideas and solutions to the parent. The teachers always start the day with a plan but understand the importance of pivoting when something isn't working for an individual or the class.  Children are given a safe place to play and are encouraged to get messy. Sometimes a spontaneous dance party is exactly what the children need. We are sad to go to kindergarten this fall because we will miss this MAGICAL place with our favorite teachers, best friends, and wonderful memories.
