This is a long review, but hey it's your kid(s). Do your research, right?

I have two kids enrolled (4y.o. since he was 2, and 15m.o. old since she was an infant), and I can't imagine them being anywhere else. Let me break it down:

Learning: They are learning so much, and having so much fun! Letters (writing and reading), counting, world music and cultures, Spanish, yoga, songs, games, social stuff - you name it. 4y.o. has so much fun telling us about the things he learns each day and the friends he's made, and I know it is because his teachers make each day so full of fun.

Staff: Speaking of teachers, these people are just the best. They truly love their jobs, and each child is treated with respect, compassion and joy. They share updates daily, with photos, emails, and friendly/helpful check-ins at drop-off and pick-up. Professionalism, PATIENCE (with parents and kids, let's be honest), thoughtfulness, and genuine care.

Facility: Clean, bright, welcoming - just like a school should be! There is also a clear focus on safety and related protocol. And the food! Breakfast, lunch and snacks are included.

The Simon Center is really a great community. Parents are invited/encouraged to contribute to things like the board (parent directed), in the classrooms, on special projects, via fundraisers, and more, but it is low pressure and fun.

If you're looking for childcare in the Reston/Herndon/Sterling/Vienna area, give this place a call and visit.
