Reston Children'S Center

Words cannot express our gratitude we have for finding this gem in Reston! Reston Children's Center has been an absolute blessing to our family! We have been here since our oldest who is 3 years old was 8 months old (thanks to COVID), our youngest started at 3 months. Our children have grown not just physically but mentally and emotionally thanks to the wonderful care they receive day in and day out by the amazing teachers and staff. Just the other day our 3 year old came home and rattled off all the planets and told us that we live on earth and Saturn has rings, several months ago it was the months and days of the week. Each morning when we drop them off we're confident in knowing they're in amazing care, going to be so well fed (the onsite kitchen staff is bar none!), and are going to learn astounding things. The teachers and staff are a melting pot of cultures from around the world, they share their cultures and celebrations with the children to help open their eyes to the world around them and not just in their own backyard. RCC has very low turn over rate with some of the staff being there well over 30 years. You are required to do parent hours since this is a parent owned co-op, but there are plenty of opportunities to get these completed and you get to make new friends along the way. We're eternally grateful that our paths crossed with RCC, as there is no place we'd rather have our children go during these foundational years. They already have great memories and friends from here, and we have made some great parent friends as well!! Thank you amazing teachers and staff at RCC, we love y'all!!

We feel so fortunate to be a part of the RCC family! The staff and teachers LOVE the children, and provide exceptional care and a warm, friendly learning environment. Our child struggled with eating, and the staff went above and beyond to keep him on track - and it worked! Snacks and meals are provided, and then are healthy and delicious! I'm pretty sure my son prefers Ms. Cecilia's cooking to my own. RCC puts on lots of events for families to attend, which results in a tight-knit community. I really enjoy the fact that it is a co-op, and have not had a problem completing my parent hours. I feel great sending my child to a non-profit childhood education center because I know that decisions are made in the best interest of the children, not because of the bottom line. We love RCC!

There are so many wonderful things to say about RCC. The teachers and staff are incredible- qualified, compassionate, like family. Our child comes home every day smiling, ready to share what she learned that day and excited to go back the next. RCC is the first and only place our family toured when we were looking for a daycare center for our toddler. We immediately fell in love with the atmosphere of RCC, it felt like home and a great, safe place to send our kid. We wanted a place where our child could be nurtured and cared for as well as receive a great education. Learning should be fun for kids! RCC has exceeded our expectations in every way. We would give them 100 stars if we could. Can't recommend this school enough and excited that we get to be here for years to come!

We love RCC! I went to RCC 30+ years ago, and my parents still talk about how great it was then. When we moved back to this area, we immediately got on the waitlist and are glad we did. Our son started attending at around 18 months and our newborn will be joining him in the fall. The tenure of the teachers is truly unmatched, and we've learned that speaks volumes about a daycare center. There ratio of teachers to children is always above what is required by the state and the center has long hours which helps with work schedules. Food is provided and cooked in house, the kids are always doing science, art, pretend play + lots of outside time - our son truly amazes us with all he has learned. Our son often doesn't want to leave at the end of the day!

My daughter was at RCC for two months in 2021. It came highly recommended. But our experience was the opposite. She fractured her limb in the school playground, which can happen, but the difficult part was that her teachers didn’t know why she was crying at pick up or if anything happened in the playground. When her limb started to swell and we took her to the emergency, we learned what happened. Doctor involved the CPS because we couldn’t explain the cause of fracture and only then did RCC admit to what happened. Maybe we had bad luck. The first month was also unimpressive. Very little transparency, unimpressive care and tons of paperwork. And parents get points for positive social media reviews in lieu of the work for school commitments
