I'm giving 3 stars because most of his time there was in the infant room and I want to start by saying the infant room teachers are fabulous. It seems they really get to know the babies, their habits, and personalities very well and they were truly so loving towards my son. Never once did he cry and not want to go into class when we dropped him off... until he was switched to the toddler room at 16 months. I didn't feel the same warm, inviting feeling from the toddler teachers. My son was hesitant going to that class. And within the first 2 weeks, he had had 3 accident reports that left bumps and bruises for days. We had been able to find a new day care, but he was going to be staying at the NOVA early learning academy for 2 more weeks. After giving the 2 weeks notice, I began getting a strong sense that the teachers were a bit indifferent towards him. He would be penned up with maybe one other child or by himself. Something just felt off. Then when picking him up towards the end of that first week, he ran over to me and I had to pull an OPEN STAPLE from his mouth. The teachers barely seemed concerned. No apologies from them at all. Just an excuse the HE must have pulled it from the bulletin born in the classroom (that is all within the kids' reach). The director eventually called to apologize.... But my trust in them was completely lost. I didn't bring him back there to finish his last week. I should have trusted my gut. And I'm thankful, I caught it in his mouth as soon as he ran up to me.

I also have neighbors who have praised this center. Although, my child was never actually enrolled…read more- I did tour the center for the infant rooms. I have to say, especially for the infant 1 room.. I was not impressed. 1) There are 16 babies are ages 3-4 weeks - 16 months. That's a HUGE age and developmental range. And 16 babies? Wow! 2) 3-4 weeks is SO young. I seriously cannot imagine they have all their necessary vaccinations to be protected in group care at that age. Most centers do not allow children under 6 weeks into group care. I have to wonder why this center does. 3) Besides the range being so wide, there is no separation, logical or otherwise, of older/younger infants. While I was touring, an older baby maybe 12 months or so, climbed on top of a very young sleeping infant in a bouncer and woke them up. Now I will get to my primary complaint: 4) The administration is incompetent and above all else, they are rude! We put our daughter on the wait list for this center. We were told in September of 2014 there would be a spot available for her in March 2015. When we called in December once our daughter was born to check in and make sure a spot would be available, they told us that there would no longer be a spot available in March, but there would be one in May. I wasn't thrilled, but eh, okay.. I guess. THEN, we called back in January to check in on status (they request you call once a month... for some unknown reason) they told us they wouldn't have a spot for her until DECEMBER of 2015. September of 2014 - December of 2015. The classroom only holds babies for 16 months! They could fill the ENTIRE class up in that amount of time. We called, very upset, and visited to get clear answers. They refused to admit they skipped us on the waiting list. They insisted they give 'preference' to current enrolled families. I totally get that. But it takes 9 months to gestate a baby. The math doesn't add up. September 14 - December 15, makes us at 15 months on the waiting list. The classroom only holds babies for 16 months! They would be refilling the whole class by that point. Again, the math just doesn't add up. They obviously skipped us on the list for some reason or another and didn't even bother apologizing. During our visit, their demeanor was hostile and their overall response was appalling. They were rude. They were deceitful - and I just wouldn't trust them being the leadership where my child spends 8+ hours a day. Look for somewhere who values your child, your family and is honest and upfront with you. This is NOT that place.

11/4/19 I always went by this place in the past few years,…read morebut never knew of its existence. Maybe its because I did not see the fencing sign sitting outside the main doors. Nevertheless, today I did notice the sign and decided to check it out. It has been a long time since I have done fencing, but i took to it at a fast rate. Out of the three types of fencing I have done, Saber is the only one I haven't experienced. The art of slashing doesn't come into Epee and Foil, unless it's a real duel...and if that is the case, you can rest assure your hands and feet will be used too...but I digress. I met the executive of the establishment. Her name is Connie Schreiber and she did do fencing, but I think she is a better swordsman than she claims to be. She gave me a tour of her establishment and when she was done, told me about some of the staff members and the people in some of the photos. Two of her staff have been in the Olympics and won medals. Other students have done very well in tournaments. Apparently Connie Schreiber's Academy has been number one for nearly a decade. This says a lot about how the students are trained. I remember when I learned about foot work and other fundamentals of fencing at Montgomery College in Rockville Maryland, part of me wanted to just get on with the bouts. I quickly realized that the fundamentals and history of fencing are just as important as the bouts...unless you wish to call them duels. I a strongly thinking about joining as a way of exercising. Maybe I might get my wife into this too. If I remember correctly, there is a $49 membership fee and it costs $125 per month. I forgot to ask what it may cost for your own fencing outfit, because some people may not want to use a used fencers uniform. I saw students arriving and some were in uniform, so you can buy your own uniform. You will need it if your going to compete in actual tournaments. If not, there are uniforms you can wear. I will return and try this out for a month or two. We will see in the next few weeks or next month.

In another classroom, the "caretaker" was yelling at the child who was trying to get her attention while another one was saying "I'm just going to ignore you.

From the signs in the dugout to their message to parents on their website that states, "the League works hard to ensure we have a positive learning experience for players and their families. If you have questions or concerns please bring them up to your manager," the focus is on the kids. Over the last few years, it has involved into a competition among the coaches. Wins take precedence over player development. Most coaches are intent to primarily play their key players only and rotate role players throughout every game regardless of the score. Role players get rotated throughout the line up and see the plate once maybe twice during a game. On field substitutions change from inning to inning. Please explain to me how players who's little league career spans a minimum of two season at each division develop their game? How can coaches be held more accountable? Coaches are focused more on wins, records & standings than giving players a decent chance to develop. I feel like my sons last two years in Little League are a wash. Independent training helps, but there's no replacement for gameplay in baseball. Not sure what recourse you have as a parent?
