Bundle Of Joy - Glen Allen

Bundle of Joy Child Development Center is a warm and welcoming place with a caring team. The environment feels safe and engaging for children. Let’s Party Event Agency would be happy to collaborate in the future and bring fun activities to their wonderful kids.

We spent 6 months in the infant room at Bundle of Joy and have nothing but good things to say. The infant teachers made us feel like they genuinely loved our baby. The first few weeks were hard on Mom and Dad, but seeing our kiddo light up at drop off us provided us with a sense of relief. We ended up moving daycare to a location closer to home but truly miss the teachers and staff at BoJ.

I’m disappointed to say that my experience with Bundle of Joy did not meet expectations. My son attended for a year and a half, and while the staff and teachers were friendly and kind, the overall experience left us feeling frustrated and ultimately led to our decision to leave. One of the first concerns was the unexpected and inconsistent billing. I was surprised by a $200 mandatory summer fee that was never mentioned in any documentation and was required with barely a week's notice. But the most troubling issue was the way extracurricular activities are handled. These activities—like soccer, music, dance, and Fun Bus—are presented as optional, but they run continuously throughout the year and come with an additional cost of $10+ per day. This adds up to thousands of dollars annually and, in practice, creates a clear divide between the children who can participate and those who can’t. When I raised concerns about this—multiple times, and all the way up the chain—I was met with polite acknowledgment but no real solutions. I was told that even some staff members couldn’t afford these extras for their own children (remember, these kids would be attending at an extreme discount in the first place). Still, the policy remained: children not enrolled in these activities stayed behind in their regular classroom without any alternative enrichment. Often, only one or two children would be left out, and nothing special was planned for them during that time. To make matters worse, when a child asks why they aren’t participating, the standard response is, "Go ask your mommy to sign you up" misplacing the guilt directly on the parent. I truly don’t think enough thought has been given to how deeply this affects young children—being left out, over and over, is not a small thing. It shapes their sense of inclusion and belonging. As a parent who tried, repeatedly, to advocate for a more inclusive approach—I left feeling unheard and disheartened. I ultimately chose to move my son to a school that includes all children in activities during the regular school day without asking families to pay extra. It truly saddened me to have withdrawn my son, as he enjoyed his time at Bundle of Joy. But I felt I had no other choice. These children are in their care for much of their day, and their emotional experience matters deeply. I sincerely hope they take a closer look at the lasting impact these policies can have and figure out any different solution moving forward.

We are going to miss going to bundle of Joy every day. My son attended Bundle of Joy for preschool. He loved going here and making new friends which he is going to miss his new friends and teachers as he is moving on to kindergarten in the Fall. The staff is so friendly that they would make my daughters day by saying hello to her when we would drop off and pick up her brother. I'm not sure who is going to miss it more my daughter or son. We had a great year thank you Bundle of Joy
