We came from an in home daycare and they welcomed us after a stressful transition. They communicate regularly and openly, which gives me so much peace of mind. They are always looking to partner for what is best for each child. They constantly are posting updates and photos and the camera is a wonderful feature to see my child exploring. The facility is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and my daughter is constantly exploring, learning, and growing in such a positive environment.

Our two toddlers have been going there already, and then our childcare fell through for our infants. They were super helpful getting us registered and the girls have adjusted easily. They give us frequent updates via a phone app so that we know what activities they are doing and how their napping, eating, and diapers have been going. Our 4year old brought an issue to us which we shared with management. They were receptive to our complaint and immediately investigated and closely observed his interactions with a teacher over the next week or two. They shared their findings with us and used their classroom cameras to confirm. Ultimately it was not an issue and our 4yo is still happy and enjoying his time there.

In September 2017 when it was the last day of my maternity, I scheduled a tour of Goddard School in…read moreHerndon. (Tip: if you are a first time parent, please book a spot for your kid ahead of time). In our case, we got one last spot for our 2 month old daughter (then) and she started the school the following week. I remember first walking into the school and taking the tour appreciating its beautiful building, playground and classes. During our tour, an older kid walked into the office and gave a hug to one of the directors. It was such a great sign. Not only that kid loved the school, teachers but also directors in the front office. Since 2017, Goddard school in Herndon has been a part of our life. My older one graduated from Goddard school in 2022. She always had amazing teachers around her who not only cared for her but also loved her. Even today when we go to pick up our younger daughter, our older daughter still hugs those teachers (many of them are still here which is so unique for the school). I should mention my daughter had Ms. Padmini as a teacher who is a Computer Engineer turned to educator. One morning, when I was dropping my daughter off, I heard Ms. Padmini teaching signs using alpha, beta, delta. Now, Ms. Padmini designs the curriculum for the entire school. The kids are in great hands with her. They are truly getting STEAM focused education. Ms. Marilynn has been a caring, energetic and wonderful administrator. Last winter, one evening my car just would not start because of battery issues. Ms. Marilynn stayed with us until my husband arrived to make sure we were okay. I don't know a whole lot of people who would do this but having her in this school has given me comfort that my daughters are in a caring place. Ms. Abha has been excellent owner of this school. As a former preschool teacher herself, she brings a wealth of experience. She has brought very practical changes/enhancements to the school. It is no wonder that school gets voted to be the one of the best schools in this area. I would highly recommend this school. Thanks to the amazing education at this school, my kids turned social, friendly, and confident. They look forward to going to their respective schools and are progressing by leaps and bounds. What else can one parent ask for!

We started our nearly 2 year old in January. The owner is wonderful, a former educator who has…read moredemonstrated to me that she puts quality of care above profit. There are also two directors who are actively engaged in my child's experience. This administration team has also demonstrated they apply a high standard to their teachers in hiring, as I observe new trial-period classroom aides either growing into a permanent position or being asked to depart ways because the person was not the right fit. The result is a team of incredible teachers! When my daughter had a difficult time transitioning to her new 2 year old classroom, it felt as if every teacher in the building was aware and working to help her through the emotional journey - teachers from other classrooms stopping me in the hallway to ask how she's been doing. For me, it is a difficult decision to not be the primary caretaker for my daughter. The Goddard School of Herndon team understands that and seems to me that they operate knowing they are taking care of the most important thing to me - my kid.

The type of environment you select for your little ones, is one of the most important decisions to…read morebe made! At KRK, they treat every little one like their own. From the time you step in the (secure) door, until the time you come to retrieve your child, you can trust that they are in great hands. KRK offers live video feed for you to check-in at any time during normal operating hours, as a perk. The teachers/staff here are highly rated. The amount of care, enrichment, and level of details offered can't be beat!! I have witnessed the amount of attention paid to kids from the infant room and above. To see them have a conversation with an infant using sign language was a true highlight. One of the things I love most is that they have several ways to be a part of their growing family, even if you are not currently a daily visitor. They offer after-school and summer camps, before school care, and monthly parents-night-out (PNO) activities. The PNO's are amazing! KRK is like the coolest party in town on these nights. The kids are welcomed and loaded with tons of fun and learning activities. From movies to bounce houses, the kids LOVE it all. Dinner is included with the PNO fee and they typically offer about five (5) hours of care. If that isn't enough, Kids R Kids have the cutest little boo-boo room should your little one fall ill, etc. It's a temporary spot that's set up to care for a sick child. Private bed, initial medical equip (bandages, etc.), and trained staff. This is still a child-care facility, so if you think 'things' will not happen, you are wrong. Kids are kids. They push, they bite, they bicker, they scream, and they kick. The difference is having staff and leadership who will act promptly and appropriately when these things happen. I can attest to being able to address issues to staff and teachers directly. One must be understanding that although their ratios of students:teachers suffice, eyes can not be everywhere at every minute. If you see something, say something. KRK staff offers a REAL open door policy. Talk to them at any time...even if you are just a 'visiting' family. If you are looking for child-care, camps, before/after school care, date night supervision, or private kindergarten, KRK is what you want! Take some time to pay them a visit or call for more information. The staff would love to help answer any questions.

Leadership seems to be trying to scam parents to recover losses due to their business risk of staying open during COVID-19 after LCPS had closed. Ultimately the facility was closed for two weeks in March 2020 due to an exposure to COVID-19. I have been in contact with the executive director, Debbie Davis on trying to receive a refund for an overpayment I made back in April. I received two different reasons as why a refund would not be issued; both of which did not make any sense. Reason #1: "We are not able to issue refunds for April as our company has suffered a great loss in enrollment. We can howerver, offer you a credit should you choose to use it. The credit is good for an entire year. " Reason #2: "Item 5 says NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN." I asked for further clarification on this statement and Debbie has stopped all communication. Item 5 clearly states the scenarios on when refunds will not be issued. However, she somehow twisted the clause into no refunds will be given under any circumstances.
