My son has been here for about a year and a half and has transitioned to two rooms so far, as he…read moregrows. All the teachers and staff are so kind! His first main teacher was Ms. Makayla and she is phenomenal (1-year-old room) now his teacher in the young 2-year-old room Ms Charlotte and Ms. Caitlin among many other teachers as well as the Director, Ms. Diane and Deputy Director, Ms. Krisiti are also are also just as extraordinary!!!! Hats off! I absolutely LOVE getting the pictures of my little one on a daily basis so I can see him and updates throughout the day about his meals - how much he ate, diaper/potty updates, activities, etc. They use an app called KidReports (they used to use PreciouStatus which I liked better but this is still fairly new) this is used to report out updates and information which I think is very helpful and adds some peace of mind to our days while away from him. This Minnieland is incredibly organized with a curriculum for each age group, menu and communications sent out on a weekly or recurring as needed basis. Of course when little kiddos start they are more reserved about getting dropped off but the staff opens their arms and hearts to the kids and we feel so happy knowing they are taken care of while we are at work. Included are various activities as well such as Ice Cream truck days (truck pulls up and you grab your ice creams upon leaving, or sundae making upon parent pickup on occasion, holiday activities and Trunk or Treat (decorate vehicles at Halloween and the kids get to trick/treat in the parking lot) among other events too that are fun for the kids and families. My Son really enjoys it here and I rate them with 5 Stars!

This school is wonderful.

Communication to the parents has been consistent, including emails and the use of an app to communicate updates throughout the day. They have periodic events which my child loves attending and they have good hours. I think this is a valuable experience for my child as their language and academic skills have really improved since joining this daycare. I highly recommend at least touring here if you are looking!

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

He battle the cancer for a year and a half and had to have his eye removed. He is healthy now and catching up to where he is supposed to be. My son is supposed to have a lanyard with his bame, his teachers name and his bus name worn on him a school official put him on the wrong bus. The school failed to located my son for some time. Eventually, my son was located and my wife had to go to the school to get him. I discussed this problem with the principa and asked how he was going to prevent this issue from occurring again? He made the statement we hope that this will never happen again and that the teacher would be putting him on the right bus. He used the word hope. There is too much uncertainty in hope. Hoping is the wrong answer in reference to the safety of a child. Do more.

I cannot recommend St. Micheal's for preschool. I was very excited to have my youngest attend as…read moreit was close to home and the curriculum looked great. We toured the school and talked with the principle that our youngest has been having some tantrums, but we are actively working on them. We were reassured that this was not an issue, and in fact, her own child had the same issue. Stated that it a great environment. We took the jump and paid for the entire year (11k!). The first day was very rough. My youngest was having tantrums and not doing well. She was sent home early which I agree with. We were then "un-invited" to return to pre and post care due to the tantrums. Fine. My husband and I worked with our schedules to ensure that we would A. be at the school in a moments notice if anything needed to be corrected and B. was willing to work with school to ensure no issues arise. We have MD appts lined up to assist as well. Within 2 hours of school on Tuesday, she was sent home due to 2 tantrums. Again, I understand it is disruptive, however we were doing our best to help. THEY COULD NOT GET US OUT OF THE SCHOOL FAST ENOUGH. We were told again, to come in on Wednesday and we would try again. I took off the entire day to be ready to sit at the school and assist with behaviors and find out what was causing this. Tuesday afternoon, less than 4 hours after being sent home, being told that we could come back on Wednesday, we were no longer welcomed back at the school. 7 hours was all it took for them to reject us. Of the 11k that we spent, they returned all but $1400. That's $200 an hour for this child. We attempted to talk with them and ask for them to return all but $600 (a month tuition and pre/post care for that Monday). They declined and charged the entire month of pre, post, 1 month tuition, and 3%. $1400 for 7 hours of care. They acted like they were doing us a favor for not charging us 3 months tuition despite them not wanting us back. Ridiculous. And for those wondering, the youngest started at Everbrook Academy. They worked with her for 2 days (Wednesday and Thursday) and by Friday she had ZERO tantrums. You are telling me that St. Micheal's is not able to work with us and a 3 year old on self calming? But Everbrook was able to come in with loving arms to assist. Just ridiculous. TL;DR: Don't send your small kiddos here.
