Do not take 4 stars lightly. I am a harsh critic and 4 stars means you're doing pretty darn well…read more I love the Children's Nest! My husband loves the Children's Nest! But most importantly, MY KIDS LOVE THE CHILDREN'S NEST! When you first go for a tour, it's not too much to look at compared to some more (much more) expensive daycare facilities. But they have all the space they need for the kids and it is kept CLEAN. They have separate classrooms for different ages. They have a huge indoor play area (for bad weather days) and plenty of outdoor spaces that are catered to your child's specific developmental needs (i.e. big kids go to the big kid's play ground while the younger kids have smaller and infant/toddler friendly play areas). They provide meals and snacks, unless your child has dietary restrictions then you provide the food. But they are very adamant about following your directions in regards to feedings, potty training and any other special need you/your child may have. The best part about the daycare is that all of the teachers genuinely love and care for each child. EVERY teacher knows my children's names, even if they do not teach or interact regularly with them every day. And my kids are always excited to go, learn, play...and they nap! That is a bonus! You get a verbal report of how their day was and in the 1-2 yr old class you get a written report as well. Ok, this was a long review. Bottom line, they are awesome! I'd give them 5 stars if they would provide lactose free milk =) -Sonia

I was treated rudely when I contacted The Children's Nest to inquire about availability for my son…read more The first time I called, I was told that the person who could answer my questions was out, but they took my contact information. They never returned my call. A week later, I tried again, and once again the person was not available. This time, however, they did call me back the next day. At first they were friendly, telling me that they may be able to fit him in. When I told them that I was seeking short-term child care (two months), they abruptly switched me to a different person. This second person made me ask my question again, then tersely told me that they couldn't help me and rushed me off of the phone. I completely understand that short-term child care is not something that everyone offers, but that is no reason to treat me like a pest for asking!

There are some good things and some bad things about this school. I'm a student here and these are…read moresome of the things that stand out to me and my friends. Let's start with the good things. The view from the third floor window is amazing and the neighborhood is pretty safe too. There's a lot of local businesses where we can buy food and interact with each other such as the corner store and the library or the park that's right behind the school. However, even though most of the teachers are relatively nice, like everything in this world, it's not perfect. There was one teacher who insulted a kid to another degree and sometimes the food can be slightly inedible. There's also a lot of violence, but that's really the students fault. Many kids are also constantly breaking the rules and always getting into fights. That's an honest review from a student that attends this school.

Our daughter attends ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, pointe and Zumba classes and competes on their dance team. She says "Dance is my life" and I think she feels that way because of the warm and welcoming environment of this dance school. I highly recommend Linda Watkins School of Dance.

Nothing compares to the compassion and loving atmosphere that Ms.Elizabeth has bestowed on her students. Ms. Elizabeth is a fantastic instructor being a dancer herself for many years. My granddaughter does tap,ballet,lyrical,jazz and pointe. Everyone there is so welcoming and helpful regardless of their dancing ability. We are very glad we joined LWSD. It's not only a great dancing experience for her but it's a Joy seeing her come home tired but excited. One of the highlights of my year is the Recital and seeing all their hard work become a reality.

Student parking is free unlike NOVA, and there's usually plenty of parking on both sides of Colonial Ave. The campus is clean and there's decent landscaping throughout, and I always enjoy the walk from the parking lot 12 down the steps to the library and looking around the surrounding hills.

I attended Virginia western to get a degree in radiation oncology therapy. They were very…read moreunhelpful. I got all of my financial aid in line only to be dropped out of every class last second and put into the classes with the "leftovers" for teachers with horrible ratings. I've since dropped out due to financial problems that occurred when my financial aid was dropped. It was dropped for the GPA being too low but I was not informed that classes done online at another school do not transfer as credits unless you have 14 or more credits. So they let me take 12 knowing it wouldn't be enough to transfer and I made straight A's. not that the system showed this. So now I have no degree and after trying to set up a payment plan and having them tell me they didn't do that owe the collection agency over 1000$. Do not go to this school. They are completely incapable of helping. They can't keep staff in the financial aid building which resulted in questions not getting answered. Was literally told they didn't know because they were new. Don't waste your time or hurt your credit. They don't care about your success only the money that comes with having you there and once that's up they screw you.
