We have loved our experience at Common ground. Our son has been in both the infant and toddler programs. All the teachers have been amazing. It's such a relief as working parents to know our son is in good hands. It's also a huge bonus that they are outside twice a day everyday. They go to local parks, trips to the library, and play on the playground everyday. We are moving out of the area and so sad to leave! Highly recommend!
Both of our children attend Common Ground and have been there since they were 3 months old. The teachers and staff at Common Ground create a wonderful loving environment where they thrive and learn. Our oldest is in the pre-school class and is learning so much, as well as enjoys making special projects, attending field trips and playing with his friends. The love that the teachers have for the children allows working parents to feel comfortable that they’re in a nurturing environment. I would highly recommend this daycare for any families in the Reston/Herndon area.
Finding the "right" daycare for your child is stressful. There are so many important questions. Will my child be safe? Will they be loved? Will they learn? Will they be happy? Is this a place where I can feel good about leaving my child when I go to work. Thankfully, Common Ground is amazing! We found Common Ground two years ago. Our oldest daughter was attending a different daycare in Reston, and we weren't thrilled with the environment -- lots of teacher turnover, limited curriculum, and a lot of bad attitudes. It started to wear on our daughter, and we started the hunt for a new facility. We were so lucky to find Common Ground. Common Ground has GREAT teachers (the infant room teachers have been there since the late 80s... You never find that kind of tenure at a daycare!), a loving and supportive environment, a great curriculum, and most importantly, our daughters love it! We are constantly surprised at what our daughters are learning, saying, and singing. We are so lucky to have found Common Ground and so lucky to have found the right daycare for our family! Bottom line, we highly recommend Common Ground to any parents looking for quality daycare in the Reston area.
Mr. G and the entire Common Ground team have built such a warm, caring environment for our kids. While they have a curriculum built off the team's considerable experience and expertise, they're also willing to tweak it to best fit each child's unique needs and development. Moreover, the teachers get to know each child to ensure they can care for him/her in the best way possible. In other words, it's the kind of place you can send your kids and drive away with total peace of mind that they're loved and cared for. As a parent, I can't think of a better compliment to give a childcare center.
We have been with Common Ground for 4 years now and have fully trusted and appreciated the care they provide for our children, now aged 4&5. The teachers are amazing. Liz, Mimi and LJ are great leaders and did such an excellent job guiding the center through the pandemic. Most importantly .. our kids love this center!
