For nearly 5 years the staff and teachers at Northern Virginia Academy have provided my children with an incredible preschool experience. Not only are the administrators committed and responsive, but the teachers, from the baby room up through the 4’s/5’s have consistently provided a solid curriculum along with loving care.

I wanted to tell you how happy we are with NoVa. You all are doing such a great job keeping the facility clean and safe. We feel so fortunate to have you, and my son loves pre-school.

    When we visited the Ashburn campus of Northern Virginia Academy of Early Learning, we were very happy with how clean and well-organized this facility was.  The staff was not only friendly, compassionate and loving but also with proper education and vast experience. I stopped in unannounced many times, just to find my son either sound asleep, or drinking from a bottle or exploring in fascination various toys and trinkets (with the teacher by his side, of course).

Let me just say again, how happy we are with NOVA Academy of Early Learning, Ashburn Campus! It really gives us peace of mind knowing that our daughter is so well cared for, loves being there, and is always happy when we drop her off and pick her up! Thank you so much for all you are doing!

We are currently expecting another baby and while I have an option to stay home with the kids, I choose to enroll them both in Northern Virginia Academy of Early Learning.  They do a wonderful job at taking great care of the kids, educating them, maintaining a schedule, and providing the much-needed interaction with other kids.

I love their daily curriculum of reading time, discussion circle, music in motion, play and outdoor activities, art projects, and Spanish classes (of which we already see the results) – to name a few.

My children (10, 6, and 1.5 years old) have attended the Ashburn campus of Northern Virginia Academy of Early Learning in some capacity or another for almost two years.  My two oldest have attended camps, drop ins, and after school programs.  In addition, our youngest has been in the full time preschool program since he was almost four months old.  It is a joy and so comforting when we walk in for morning drop off or afternoon pickup that we are greeted with smiling and friendly faces.  All of our kids have thoroughly enjoyed every program they have attended.  Knowing when we pull into the parking lot my 1.5 year old starts clapping and shouting “school”.  As he continues to grow, I am seeing things that have obviously been taught to him by his teachers (i.e., sign language, ABC’s, counting, and various other words and mannerisms).  Leaving our littles is always hard, but it truly is a blessing when your child leaps out of your arms into the teachers’ arms ready to start his day.  Not once have I ever walked into the campus and any of my kids say that don’t want to be there.  They are eager to go, have fun and learn. Our youngest had some health scares earlier this year and the school was so comforting, understanding and compassionate while we navigated through unknown territory.  We will be forever grateful for their support.  Through the dreaded shutdown of COVID-19 they have been very communicative and flexible in reopening and safety is their number one concern.  Any time anyone ever asks about daycare options in my area I always give them NVA’s name and tell them how great they are.  My one regret is that we did not find them sooner.

Thanks for being so good to my children these last many years. NOVA Academy of Early Learning has given them a great start to their schooling and we are most appreciative.

We wanted to thank you all again for the work the entire team has done throughout COVID and the start of this “school year” for our son. It’s evident in his growth and eagerness to go in every day. We are very appreciative of the extra steps and efforts that have gone in to help continue his growth. He has smiles all day in the photos and is beyond exhausted when home from a great day of learning thanks to you.  Please extend our gratitude to the whole cadre that helps him every day.

Thank you for running an excellent school. My boys are always well cared for and also set up for long term educational success by the great team that has been built at the school.

I want to personally thank the Directors for taking the time over the past year to acclimate me to your center and carefully listening and advising me when I came to you for advice. I also want to thank the Assistant Directors for the welcoming and loving environment they create for my children. You all make a fantastic team and WOW we are lucky! I have had experience with home daycare and center daycare other than NOVA Academy of Early Learning and without a doubt I would recommend your center. My family has had a truly wonderful time.

Before my son turned 2 he was reciting the alphabet, singing most of the nursery rhymes, holding a pen properly – hitting and excelling at every milestone. He loves going to school and I have a piece of mind when I go to work that he is not only taken great care of, but is learning something new every minute he is there.

How time flies! It seemed like it was just yesterday when our daughter started at the academy. I think I was even more nervous than her on that first day not knowing how she was going to take it all in, knowing up to that point we have not really had any formalized schooling. There really was no need for me to worry though because by the time I picked her up she was smiling and was actually excited about school. I would like to sincerely thank you and your staff for making the last school year an absolute blast!  Our daughter progressed so fast that she now writes, counts and reads with confidence! Thank you for creating a nurturing and safe environment where kids feel like kids at the same time given the essential building blocks to ensure that they are successful in whichever program they continue to. I also would like to specially mention Ms. Yolanda who lovingly prepares the kid’s meals; Ms. Medalia who is always helpful; Ms. Alexis and Ms. Carmenia who made summer camp super fun and cool; Ms. Sharon and Ms. Carmelita whom she found her second niche and Ms. Sebina who is so kind and of course Ms. Senait who really nurtured her, patiently worked with her and yet lovingly oriented her to school do’s and don’ts. Again THANK YOU for having such a great team of teachers who love what they do and it shows and the kids know and feel it. We will always cherish having started with Northern Virginia academy of early learning.

Our daughter has grown so much this past year, at Northern Virginia Academy, Ashburn Campus. The love, attention and genuine interest shown has meant so much to our family.

I’m so happy we found Northern Virginia Academy-Burke for our son, who has been going here since he was 6 months old and is now graduating pre-school.  Every teacher he’s had has loved on him and treated him like family, and the staff is professional yet kind-hearted.  All the classrooms are newly renovated and the outside play area is really big.  The recent addition of emailed KidReports with photos every day and the online payment system are good too.
