I asked her a few questions and she was NOT going to use some of those items. They would be trashed. She was anxious to chit chat with a man unloading from a truck.

The Lamb Center used to be at the circle, but this newer location offers more services. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and Christmas will soon be here. Please consider volunteering here, or at least dropping by food, non prescription medications, or other items of need. This area has a real high cost of living. Before you think "not in my backyard," yes it is. We have a considerable amount of people, who simply can't afford a rent or a mortgage. Many of the homeless or vulnerable, whom are helped by this center, are often employed. Is mental illness and substance abuse factors? Of course. Yet Dave and his staff here don't judge people. They help to uplift them. There have been many success stories here. Alcohol and drug abuse classes are regularly held here. Also the staff helps people better themselves, and increase the chances of full time work. All are welcome here, regardless of faith or none. What matters is the humanity. Here it exists everyday. By all means spend time here, and you will find this truly special. All people deserve a meal and warm clothes, as everyone is one paycheck away.

They both continue to be abusive to the homeless people, and it's unacceptable. Upper management has been notified several times of their abusive behavior, please do not allow Lori or Joan to volunteer again.

Not all community centers are created equal but this is a nice one. It has a bunch of conference…read morerooms you can rent for a birthday party, church group, or many other purposes. There's a number of large rooms if you want to host a conference or a community fair. There's also a bunch of classes you can sign up for, for a fee. (Vienna residents pay less.) I also like how close this place is to the center of Vienna. You could ride your bike here since the bike trail passes right by it. You could walk here right after going to the library. You could grab lunch and then walk over. You could hop over while your kid is playing baseball. In fact, car is probably the most annoying way to get here since the parking can be a pain, especially if you come during the Saturday morning farmers market when part of the parking lot is closed.

After hiking or biking the adjacent W&OD that can be helpful. Also super friendly Vienna Park and Recreation employees! Very kind folks. There's plenty of parking spots. I like the statue of kids reading. There are some nice benches as well. When my son was younger, took him here for a music and puppet show. That was fun and the arts thrive here. Definitely a nice community center, although I wish they could add a few activities.

I found this daycare via yelp. I decided to give them a call, since I was going to be on a business…read moretrip for a week and needed a safe place for my 2 year old to stay while I worked. From the moment I called and spoke to Shelem she made me feel at ease about the whole process. She sent me an email with all the information for her daycare and was open to answer any questions or concerns. I decided to go on a Monday for a couple of hours with my little one so she could meet the kids and caretakers before having to be dropped for the day. From the moment we walked in my little one felt right at home. All the kids were active and engaged in different activities which she proves for them and my little one jumped right in. After about an hour I decided to leave for a little and come back to see how my little one would react and literally I came back 2 hours later and she was enjoying her hot served lunch with the rest of the kids. The next day dropping her was super easy, I was so glad that I found a loving place with all the activities that keeps the little ones engaged. I was grateful for the updates with pictures through the day showing all the fun and learning stuff they were working on. My little one was there for only 4 days and wish we could bring her daycare back to the west coast. Forever grateful for how well they treated my little one. Very organized daycare, very clean, good meals, plenty of interactive activities and learning opportunities. As a goodbye Shelem send us home with her art project which was done through the week. If ever in town again will for sure take my little one here again ;)

WOW!!! JUST WOW~!!! I came here for the open house and…read moretoured the facility. I think it's pretty safe to say it's a one of a kind (if not the only) non-profit organization / facility that allows you to drop off your child(ren) with special needs, for a day or two on the weekend to allow the parents some time of respite. Absolutely love their mission and the fact that they care specifically for an otherwise marginalized population. They have three "lodges" each with 10 rooms (half singles, half doubles), outdoor playground, pool, indoor gymnasium, chapel, a variety of rooms for computers, music, arts & crafts, sensory stimulation and quite rooms. And practically everything has a theme. It really does look like a kids' paradise...and hopefully it will be. You'll need to register on their website to utilize their services.

Unconditional love…read more As cheesy as it may sound, this place oozes unconditional love for children with special needs. From the carefully thought-out interior decor to the doting, compassionate staff, Jill's House is one of the most tangible manifestations of love for a group of children often overlooked by the general public. Jill's House is an overnight respite home for special-needs children. For the kids, it's like a fun sleepover - there's a music room with musical instruments, sing-a-long DVDs, and space to dance, a technology room with touch-screen computers, an art room, a gym, an indoor pool, a playground, and nature-themed "pods" with more games, puzzles, toys, video games, and even a movie screen (tell me you didn't have to take a breath in between reading that list). For the hard-working parents (for whom I have such great respect and admiration), it's a chance for them to have a night to themselves. Furthermore, Jill's House is an incredibly safe place for these children. The intake coordinators are very detailed in recording each individual child's diet restrictions, medical concerns, and methods of communication. They also make sure to give the parents (and the child) a tour of the facility beforehand. The intake coordinators, then, propagate all of this information to the staff who work directly with the children. Now, the staff are a group of people who are not only efficient caretakers, but are also genuinely loving people. It's apparent that the children quickly form bonds with the staff and recognize them when they return. It's heartwarming to witness. I could go on and on, but (as another review has pointed out) it might be easier to just visit the website or call. Ultimately, this facility houses an amazing group of workers and a precious group of kids.

There aren't enough good things I can say about Imagination Learning Center. We have been with the…read moreChantilly center for more than a year now, and are so happy we chose this wonderful place. We've experienced every classroom from the baby room through the 5-year old room. The Director and Assistant Director are extremely understanding and compassionate. They really understand the challenges of working parents and they continuously strive to make parents' lives easier. The teachers are such loving people. They care very deeply about the children's growth and happiness. Every morning, at least three teachers hug my children when we arrive! Some of the teachers have been with the center for 10 or even 20 years. The classrooms are clean, vibrant and engaging. I love the constant updates I receive through the app. When my youngest was a baby, I could see when and how much she ate and slept. And now, I can see all of the books they're reading, the fun activities and trips to the playground. My children come home each day with stories of the art projects they completed, the lessons they learned, and the friends they are making. There are field trips, holiday parities, art and crafts, magicians, snow cone trucks, story time, etc. etc. 5 stars all around!!

This school is pretty amazing! I originally came here another center with my oldest child due to…read morepretty extreme lack of care. The director's (Lisa) genuine concern for my child's well-being and warmth in how she took care of us, before we even officially signed up for the school, is what got us to join. The teachers, learning experiences my child had, flexibility in schedule, and price got us to stay. For the teachers, some have been at the centers going on double digits now, most of the teachers that took care of my son, who grew out of the school, are now taking care of my daughter. My wife has summers off so she has some more time to be with the kids. We wanted to switch to just two days a week and the answer was "Sure not a problem"! I can see by interacting with my kids that they are most certainly learning while they are there, the school is following a curriculum that works. Last but not least, price. It was no more expensive when I switched into Imagination Learning Center (ILC) from the other daycare even though they offered way more. I don't make a boat load of money and could afford 2 kids to go there. The last two things I which I feel are important to say are, 1) They use Brightwheel to send pictures of your child and communications. Its really great that I can have multiple updates a day on how my child is doing. 2) It's a non-profit with a parent run board of directors. The parents actually do have a voice at ILC which to me is amazing and unlike any other center I looked into while I was searching. TL:DR - ILC is a great place with caring teachers and directors who have been there for years, flexible scheduling, and a reasonable price. I would recommend ILC for anyone who needs childcare.
