My daughter attended capital kids for a little over a year, and we are sad that we have to leave because we are moving out of the area. Miss Lisa, the owner was very helpful and accommodating every step of the way. Ms. Shawnta, Ms. Joyce and Ms. Olivia have been the best with teaching her, and keeping her well fed and best of all well loved. I truly feel like they treated my child as if she was one of their own.
DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD HERE! The main staff like managers, desk operators, and owner allows kids with COVID-19 symptoms, and flu viruses go into the daycare without a care in the world. The owner runs this place JUST for the paycheck. She doesn't care about your child whatsoever. I've been trying to get in touch with the state but unfortunately they aren't reaching back to me! I will be in contact with the daycare inspector soon, and I will try my best to seek help for the safety of the daycare teachers and kids. This is unacceptable and poor behavior. Capital Kids has got to be the WORST daycare program in Northern Virginia. If I could give a point of a star, I would. .1/5 stars tbh.
My daughter goes here and I have not had a bad experience yet. The staff is loving and caring. They allow my daughter to have her speech therapy on premises and they always call me if she gets the smallest scratch( she is 2 and is at the stage where she is not afraid to jump off of anything). I am happy with the Daycare.
We had a great experience. My daughter started daycare here at 5 months old and I felt peace of mind going back to work. All the staff in the baby room were very caring and kind and my daughter was very happy. No complaints at all.
I love this school! My son attended from 12 weeks old until he was almost theee years old. We moved away for nine months and missed the quality child care, teaching, and nurturing he received so much that I literally relocated again mainly to be closer to the school. He has been back at Capital Kids only a week and the signs of success are already shining thru! Working full time as a mother is always difficult but, Capital Kids makes it possible and gives me great peace of mind.
