From the moment I emailed stating I was interested in finding a behind-the-wheel program, to the set up of the first appointment, it was about a day. We received a text message from Paul requesting a day and time to meet for the first appointment. First appointment, the parent must be there (with their drivers license), the payment for the program, and your teen driver must have their permit, logged hours and DC1 card ready to show prior to getting in the vehicle. There will be other teen drivers and there is no set daily schedule so you MUST be patient and flexible. We would get an estimated time of pick up the day before, and at times, he could be running early or late, but that is because you can't predict what will occur with the other drivers. My daughter loved driving with Paul. "He was calm and never condescending,".....her exact words. At the end of the 7 hours, he completed the paperwork for the DMV, as well as, the paperwork to be filed for courthouse (which he submitted for us) and gave her the provisional license (the parent must be present for this, as well because your signature is required). Everything was so organized and easy. If you can get past the slightly unstructured schedule, you can have confidence that your soon-to-be new driver will have a successful and positive experience.

This review is for the NOVA Early Learning II which is attached the the strip mall next to the…read moresmoothie shop. My son went there from 6mths old to 17 mths old. 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.

The location was a little hard to find, but all of the local businesses were friendly and showed me the way. I was very happy to find them still working after having taken the proper precautions. Uma, the instructor had decided to give one-on-one classes for all who needed it. I was able to make an appointment right away. She was kind, knowledgeable and thorough. She took the time to explain everything to me in as much detail as I wanted. Allowing me to ask questions and providing useful information in a very personable and friendly manner. The time seemed to fly by in her class, which may be due to how funny the instructor was. Uma also gave me tips to navigate the DMV process and system. She told me I could contact her in the future if I had any need for advice. I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend the Defensive Driving Academy.

The Proctors were friendly and…read moreprofessional, but unfortunately they do not get the support they need from the IT and Admin staff in order to offer these exams in a timely manner. The first time I took the exam, the Proctor spent an hour trying to get in contact with a member of FCPS's IT staff to get the license for the software needed to take my exam. This delay definitely took me off my game, and may have been a contributing factor to my failing of the exam by one question. For my retake, it was discovered while I was waiting for the exam that PC used to proctor the exam had not been updated, and would take until after 9pm at night to finish updating. Luckily, the Proctor was willing to come in on her off day so that I could take the exam before my certification deadline. In addition, scheduling the exams were a massive pain, with the admin staff in charge of registration often transferring my call to a person not in the office, resulting in having to play phone tag for over an hour in order to get the exam scheduled each time. Although the Proctors were friendly, professional, and went above and beyond the call of duty, the lack of support from the rest of FCPS's Adult and Community Education staff proved to be extremely detrimental to my experience, which is why I must give them a 2 star review. Until this situation changes, I can not recommend FCPS's ACE program to anyone.

I love how welcoming the center director, Gary, and the education coordinator, Isabelle, are to questions and concerns. Whenever I need to change my schedule or talk about any problems I have with my classes, Gary and Isabelle are always open to helping me to the best of their abilities. Furthermore, the tutors at C2 are amazing! Dr. Alan, for example, got me through freshman year conceptual physics and taught me different strategies for solving problems as my math courses in school became more complex. Sean and Kate have taught me to improve my writing style and utilization of rhetorical strategies as well. The fact that they, along with other tutors offer workshops in study skills definitely helped me understand how to work smarter and more efficiently. Overall, my experience at C2 has allowed for me to thrive and excel in school. I've found myself being more confident in class during discussion and using strategies that I've learned from tutors on tests and various evaluations. C2 definitely gives you the assistance and practice you need for school, college, and real-life applications.

We chose Little Flock for that very reason instead of enrolling our son at some daycare center. My son was here for 2018 summer program and 2018-19 school year for pre K2. At 2 years old he started with very limited words, by limited I mean a handful of words such as: mama, daddy and ate. His means of communication was pointing to things and dragging anyone to places he wants to be. He finished the school year speaking in full sentences. Credit to LFCS' marvelous music and language program which taught both Arabic and Spanish as part of their curriculum. Loved that his class would sing in both languages. He loved coming here and would complain if I picked up too early. The teachers, assistants and aftercare staff were all incredible. I can't say enough good things about everyone that works at this school. Everyone was always very pleasant and helpful. Bonus: Photos of activities were updated constantly on the app, great way to keep up with my sons day at school. Lunch options via school house grille. I ordered at the beginning of the month and was delivered straight to school. Tuition was significantly lower than kinder care.

A testimony: I started researching daycare's for the twins…read moreback in October. When I found Saint Mark's Montessori school I was taken away with it, and really wanted to register the boys there. The application process was rigorous to say the least. We had to go to an open house, a classroom observation, fill out the application and pay the fees, and then go to a parent/teacher/student interview just to be emailed one week later saying that we weren't accepted into the program due to Ryan's inability to follow directions during the interview. Mind you, my son is only TWO years old! So I went back to the drawing board. I would look up a school, go to yelp and google reviews to read about people's experiences, go to MapQuest to see how far it is from our house, my job, and Kevin's job. Then I would go to the DSS website and read every complaint filed over the last two years, and finally I would call the daycare to see if they had any openings available. Once I did all of that, I would usually tour the daycare on the way home from work. I did this entire spiel over and over and over again. All the daycares we liked were either too far of a commute, or didn't have any openings. The ones that had openings were dirty, had too large of teacher to student ratios, were outdated, etc. etc. Every school I went to that had an opening made me feel like I was compromising on something in the long run, be it small cramped classrooms, or what have you. Then I stumbled on a thread in one of the mom groups where someone mentioned that they loved Little Flock Christian School. I had been to every school within a 15 mile radius of my house but didn't remember coming across that one, so I googled it. When I looked up reviews it had 4.8 out of 5 stars, NO DSS violations, and an outstanding curriculum. Then I Map Quested it, and it ended up being only 2.5 miles from my house! (How did I miss it?!) So I called them Tuesday morning to see if they had any openings, and they did! That's when the principle said "We usually do tours on Tuesday mornings. I know its short notice but if you have time to come in we would love to show you the school." Coincidence that it just happened to be a Tuesday that I called??? After the tour I was completely shocked. The school was huge, clean, had age appropriate toys, taught Spanish AND Arabic, I could go on, and on. I left feeling like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I didn't even wait to tell Kevin before starting the enrollment process. Here is the kicker, they have a referral program where if you refer another student you can get one month of free tuition. When I was going back to the fb thread to find the person who recommended the school, the thread was gone. I searched by keyword and everything, it's like the thread was never there. It feels like everything that has happened up to this point was meant to happen. We found a school with firm Christian values, close to our home, reasonable tuition prices, will allow the boys to be in the same class, has openings, and has a mind blowing curriculum. Not only that, included in our application folder was an article: "The Strong willed child: How to save sanity and celebrate God's works" Do you have a Strong Willed Child at home? Check out our blog for ways you can guide your passionate child and celebrate the way God made them! So today Kevin and I are meeting with the principle to turn in Mason and Ryan's birth certificates and shot records, and we will formally be a part of the Little Flock Christian Academy's family. We couldn't be more excited. Glory to God.
