The facility is clean and well organized, and the playground is a big hit with both of my children. Most importantly, my kids are genuinely happy here. They have fun every day and have learned so many new things. It's been great to see them grow socially and academically in such a positive environment. We're very grateful to have found this preschool and would highly recommend it to other families.

Our second child to go through Foundations is about to head to kindergarten, but before we leave…read morethis wonderful school wanted to share with others looking for daycare what a great experience we've had over the past 6-plus years. Beyond the obvious (they do a great job taking care of the kids all day) our kids had such caring teachers and came away from Foundations "loving school." Their learning, development and social skills were definitely enhanced by the experience. They also formed some really great friendships with classmates. We're very sad to be moving on but extremely grateful for an excellent experience.

We absolutely loved our visit to the Virginia Discovery Museum!…read more It looks a bit small and dinky from the outside, but my children and their cousins, ages 4 - 9, played non-stop for three hours. While most children's museums are multi levels, this is more like a giant long maze, making exploring each room feel like a treasure hunt. Favorite spots included the authentic log cabin complete with life size baby crib and a little play town with cafe, post office, and nature playground. There were lot of places for parents to sit and the whole museum felt relatively low key. The front desk was super nice and reminded us many times that we could come and go as we pleased throughout the day. Since we are American Children's Museum members we got free admission which was a huge added perk. Love being able to learn, explore, and play with my littles all around the US.

Great hands on play for your kids!…read more We were in the area and since it was hot we wanted an indoor activity for our kids. The museum recommends 8 and under. Our kids are 8, 7 and 5. The website does a great job of explaining where to park. We followed our gps and it took us the emergency exit entrance. The entrance is right on the main brick road. The museum will also validate your pass so parking is free. Entering was easy and we let the kids loose. We spent about 2 hours but they could have easily stayed longer. They do not allow food in the museum but you can come and go as you please. Great experience to let your kids explore.

Tassia is empathetic, transparent, always open for conversation, and a parent herself. She employs a staff that also models those qualities. Playful Learners Preschool is very well kept, and cleaning is noticeably a priority. Healthy breakfast, lunch, and snacks are provided each day. The playground is wonderful, and there is even a small wooded area to explore. The app allows you to easily connect to what your child is learning (and it's always nice to receive cute photos to brighten your work day!) I could go on and on about all the things I value about Playful Learners Preschool, but most importantly, I don't have to question what type of care my children are getting. I know in my absence they are being loved, nurtured, comforted, and encouraged to grow, learn, and explore in a caring environment every day.

My daughter started here a couple months ago, after staying home with me and constantly being since…read moreshe was born, she's now 18 months. Right away you could tell how much she loved it. She is so happy to go every morning and runs and hugs her teachers. The only time I've seen any crying is when her teacher has left before I pick her up. She was sick and out for several days (daycare ick after never being around kids plus being a quarantine baby) and she was extremely excited to go back. She brought me her shoes several times while she was out, indicating she was ready to go, the first day she went back her excitement started as soon as we got in the car to leave and once we pulled up she was overjoyed. They're great about updates, keeping you in the know and have been so patient with me even what I'm sure it wasn't always easy. It's given me a huge piece of mind knowing that she's happy and being taken care of, even if I sometimes I do get just a liiiiitle jealous.
