He enjoyed his kindergarten teacher this year and she was very attentive to his academic needs and behavior socially. She kept in touch with me when he was struggling in areas. Very secure with him going here. First time parenting is nerve wrecking and they all handle it well, especially the ladies in the front office, principle always called back within 3 hrs or less whenever I called in with a concern. If you're in this area, this is a very good school.

I like this school but it has it's problems, the teachers didn't watch my special education son and…read moresaid. "Come pick up your son he hit his head." They could've prevented it but they didn't. I don't recommend putting your kids in that school. But it has its advantages. Some kids enjoy this school. They have decent lunch, there's a book vending machines or something like that. If you have special education kids I would not recommend, but if you have kids and your nearby Dumfries VA I would recommend. Thank you for taking your time to read this review.

This is a "don't know what you got till it's gone" place. Our daughter was here from 11 months old…read moreto 2.5 years old and we never doubted how amazing her teachers were. Miss Shondra, Mariah, Jasmine and Dominique were absolutely incredible with this kids. Our daughter talked about her last class's teachers all the time after we moved. Shondra eased our fears of our daughter moving up in classes by visiting her during breaks and taking pictures with her to send to us on the app (above and beyond!). They have been there for years and it goes to show how well they are treated. Yes, there was standard turnover, but it was definitely less than what I have seen and heard of at other places (5 people in a month at our current daycare in CA) . The place was always clean and well managed. Rules were definitely enforced and I think that's why it ran so smoothly and was such a safe place for kids. Crafts were done to the point I was like "please stop sending these home" but now I know some places don't provide it at all and I know how important it is for development and realized how much I miss getting those crafts. They stuck to the menu and if anything changed you'd get an email which was important for picky eaters! Overall, this place is so great that my husband and I joke that we hope we get moved back here so our girls can attend the daycare so we know they're going somewhere safe and where they are happy. Also they used to be Minnieland Academy and I'm thinking that's why there's no reviews for this place because it changed?

In fact, we have had our son in three different Minnieland locations due to moving and have not had anything close to what is reviewed. All interactions with the staff at Ashland have been nothing short of pleasant and professional. Highly recommended!

The staff, while incredibly friendly, are absolutely amazing educators that care deeply for their students and help them to excel at their classwork. Our son is five years old but is currently completing 2nd grade math worksheets thanks to his guides and their carefully crafted lesson plans. I would like to highlight both Ms. Nuria and Ms. Eli who cared for and taught my son for the last two years.
