Atmosphere is great and the instructors seem to care a lot. They've got great covid protocols and they don't stuff so many kids in a class. Also, since parents can't stay to watch, they set up a Zoom session for each class so you can watch from your computer or phone. I also love that you're not tied down to a schedule. Every week you can decide which class you want your kids to attend. For example, there's a beginners class scheduled for everyday that starts at 5:30 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdays and 4:50 on Tuesday and Thursdays. You get to choose which ones to attend. Sessions last 40 minutes, twice a week. Overall I highly recommend!

I hate to leave a negative review. And I am still leaving 3 stars due to Greg's friendliness and…read morethe young fencer lady who went out of her way to help me. So why 3 stars? Simple. I sent my bow there for tying in the peep sight. Should have been a one day job. Turned into six days. And had no call back, email or communication on my bows status. I called a few times and was told it was not ready and I decided to pick it up and attempt to tie the peep sight myself. Before picking it up I called and spoken to Greg. Very good guy and friendly. He said there was not a full time bow mechanic. But should they not update their website to reflect this? Anyways, when I got there I got my Bow. And all be darned if the peep sight was not already fixed. I paid them $25 for the service. And Reggie did a great job. However, I wanted my cams looked over and inspected and that was still not done. Any bow shop I ever been to usually inspects the cams after working on a bow. Made no sense to my why this was not done same day my peep sight was finished. And having to deal with 3 or 4 people to retrieve my bow was a bit of a hassle. Anyways, What I am saying is that Nova fencing and archery is a great friendly place. But, they need to work on communication and update their website saying they currently don't have a full time bow mechanic. And work on contacting their customers. Like I said. I have to leave a critical or negative review. And wish I could leave 5 stars. But, sadly I cannot. I feel like the Bow department needs to work on internal and external communication. Great place for people and children to learn and take up fencing and archery from some of the best instructors in the NOVA area. But their archery shop needs improvement. No hard feelings.

oddard Review At 8…read moremonths pregnant I toured 5 daycares in Fairfax before landing on Goddard for my then almost two year-old and yet to be born baby. Our first was in a home daycare where she loved her teacher but wasn't getting as much interaction with other kids or following a standardized curriculum. I knew we needed to find another daycare where both kids could learn, be loved on and thrive. Fast forward to almost a year later and it's been the best decision. From the daily reports and photos we get in the app, to the curriculum that focuses on developing the kids mentally, physically and emotionally to the teachers and staff who love each of the kiddos so much. Now they havent figured out how to cure daycare germs but they do have a pretty awesome sanitation machine and cleaning protocol . But truly the best school!

Truly a hidden gem in Fairfax!…read more We've had the absolute joy of being part of the Michuchutren community for two years now, and I can confidently say this preschool is something special. I've had my daughter in another Spanish immersion preschool in NOVA, so I came in with a point of comparison -- and Michuchutren is a million times better in every way. From the very beginning, we were struck by the warm, welcoming environment and the Montessori-inspired setup where children learn through play and hands-on activities. There's no busywork here -- everything the kids do is intentional and thoughtfully planned. It's a mixed-age classroom, and it works beautifully. The younger kids learn by watching the older ones, and the older kids rise to the occasion, taking pride in being role models. It creates an incredibly positive dynamic and natural learning flow. The Spanish immersion is top-notch. The kids not only finish speaking Spanish fluently -- they live the language every day through songs, storytelling, and play. My daughter learned to read and write in Spanish here, and watching her language skills grow so effortlessly has been amazing. The Christmas and end-of-year presentations (all in Spanish) are a true testament to how much the kids learn and how much joy they find in it. A huge part of what makes Michuchutren so special is the staff. Angie, my daughter's teacher, is beyond incredible. She is soft-spoken, kind, patient, and deeply caring -- all while maintaining calm and consistent control of the classroom. Her presence is steady and reassuring. My daughter adores her and often tells us that when someone misbehaves or breaks a rule, all Angie says is, "It's okay, you're learning." That level of compassion and respect for children's growth is rare and deeply appreciated. The directors, Pilar and Andres, are equally wonderful. They're warm, approachable, and genuinely attentive to the needs of both children and parents. They've created a space where families feel seen and supported. After two years here, I can honestly say I haven't met a single parent who isn't thrilled with their child's experience. The community is tight-knit, and the love for this school is unanimous. If you're looking for a preschool where your child will be immersed in Spanish, nurtured by incredibly skilled educators, and grow socially, emotionally, and academically in a meaningful way -- Michuchutren is it.
