We absolutely love this daycare! The teachers and director are incredibly kind, supportive, and always willing to help. They truly care about each child and it shows. The app they use is amazing. It gives me updates, photos, and info about my son’s day, which brings me so much peace of mind. My son started here struggling to communicate, but the staff went above and beyond to connect with him and support his development. Now he’s thriving and loves going every day. I couldn’t ask for a better place for him. Highly recommended!
We feel so incredibly blessed and fortunate to have found such a warm and wonderful daycare at Northern Virginia Academy. Over the past year, it has been amazing to watch our daughter learn and grow through the truly nurturing care received. Our daughter has been so blessed with awesome teachers who not only understand her challenges but also handle them with grace and patience. We are so impressed with how friendly and professional the entire staff are.They are excellent communicators, and their knowledge of early childhood education is evident in everything they do. Thank you for making this such a positive experience for the whole family.
Jenny assisted me with signing my son up, and everything went smoothly until today when my child started at the academy with his teacher, Sharon. Early in the day, I received a call at work asking if my child has allergies — even though I had already informed Jenny that he doesn’t, and I completed a health form that clearly states this. When I asked Sharon why she didn’t review the health form or communicate with Jenny, she defensively stated that she’s “not an assistant but a teacher.” Very unprofessional. I was also told that children are reminded to use the potty every 30 minutes, yet my son did not receive a reminder and ended up going in his pull-up, which seemed to frustrate Sharon. During our conversation, she continuously talked over me, forcing me to end the call. Another concerning incident happened the day I enrolled my son. He was happily playing in one of the rooms while Jenny watched on the camera. Suddenly, I heard him crying — I walked in and found Sharon pulling him by the arm and telling him he couldn’t be in the room. There’s no excuse for that kind of behavior. Whatever happened to leading children with patience and understanding? My son will be removed from her class. Sharon should not be working with children — this experience has been very disappointing.
We have been consistently going to this daycare for 7 years! My oldest, now in 3rd grade, started here when she was 2. My 2 other children have followed, with my youngest now in Pre-K. The teachers are dedicated to making the kids feel safe, cared for, and comfortable, all while teaching them skills to prepare for Kindergarten and beyond. The staff, Director (new and old) and families really make this place amazing. I highly recommend sending your child here!
I have to pass this place on my commute in the morning. As I was waiting for the light to turn green the other month at around 7:20am there was some woman in a grayish SUV/minivan who rolled down their window and started screaming at me and outright threatening me that I was in the way even though I was sandwiched between two cars. This went on for an almost full minute with them honking, screaming, and threatening me even though I literally couldn't inch up any further. They then turned into here. Not sure if that's an instructor or one of the parents but if that's who is caring for these kids then I wouldn't trust them or they just tolerate abusive parenting? Unsure but with the rise of tension and violence in this country this was a bit scary for 7 in the morning midweek.
