Our staff is also CPR and first-aid certified. Please contact us through CareLuLu to schedule a visit and get your $105 registration fee waived.

We also provide before and after school care for school age children up to 12 years old, and offer a summer camp in the summer. Transportation is only offered to Jenkins Elementary School (there is no additional fee for transportation).
Curriculum
At our daycare and early learning center, we provide more than safe, affordable and quality child care. We strive to offer quality early childhood education for intellectual growth, but also promote social, physical, and emotional development in a warm environment. Our early learning program is play-based, and our curriculum support individualized learning objectives; activities are tailored to child’s progress. Our areas of learning include language and literacy skills, cognitive skills, arts (music, theatre, dance, etc.), social and emotional development, as well as math and science.

Toddlers activities include circle time and many fun learning activities such as dramatic play, finger painting, math and science, as well as singing and music.

She is the best! Ever since I met her she’s been incredibly amazing. I had an issue that I thought was major but it turns out that she instantly got to it & fixed it in no time! I am very grateful for all her support as well as her care for Mariah.

My daughter attended WVA from age 2.5 to graduation. She went into kindergarten at the head of her class. She was very smart. She's now an 8th grade. Currently my Godson attends and we're just as pleased with his progress. I recommend this daycare center to anyone with young kids.

My children have been attending this daycare for 9 months now. We and the children are happy at this daycare. We have one child in the two year old room and one in the pre-K class. We are happy with the teachers and structure given. Management and the teachers are very open and easy to talk to. Management is very responsive with quick turnarounds and supportive with any topic at hand. All of the staff are very friendly and you can see they enjoy being around children. The hours of operation was a big attraction for us with our work schedules to include commute time. Another big plus is the school has a "porch" the children can run around and play on. As spring is slowly arriving the pre-k class enjoys snack outside. The classes also use this porch area for days after a rainy day when the ground is too wet. The indoor facilities are kept well. However the outside grounds (parking lot area) need some TLC.

My little girl has been cared for by this daycare for at least 8 months now and I've felt very comfortable with them since day one. All of the staff from the teachers to the leadership, have been so friendly and caring. My daughter loves all of her teachers and looks forward to seeing them. I appreciate all they've done to make me feel confident in their ability to care for my daughter as if she were their own.

We love this daycare! Our son has been here since he was 10 months old and is about to move to the 2 year old room. His teachers are fantastic and everyone is incredibly friendly. He loves "going to school" every day and learns so much through the fun activities they have planned. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for childcare.

My children have been going to this faciity for over two years now. I like the family atmosphere and that during summer there are lots of activities planned for them to participate in. Even with Covid affecting things, I'm pleased that they are able to help the kids participate in their online classes.
Response from the provider:
Thank you so much for your kind words Jennifer, families like you are an asset.

My 12 yr daughter attended this facility from 2yrs-Pre-K. She learned so much from her teachers back then and went on to kindergarten very well prepared! Fast forward currently, my Godson who is 3 started attending last year! Again, we love it and he has learned so much! The teachers are wonderful, extremely nice and great with the kids! Every morning I’m greeted by the Director and several times a week, we hold long conversations about everything from daycare to our personal families. The facilities are still very well kept. I love the fact that even when it’s raining, the kids can go out onto the balcony area and still get fresh air and play time! I would recommend this facility to anyone!
Response from the provider:
Thanks a bunch for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; my staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote :)

Overall, we love this facility. This provider is great and all the teachers are great. My son loves all his teachers. Only thing I would say is probably that they need more teachers to cover the large group of children in two’s and three’s.

My son has been in this place since he was 4 months old. He is turning 2 in a few days. He loves his "school" and his teachers. We are amazed each week at how fast he is learning and how well he plays with the other children. The amount of love and attention he receives is well worth the extremely reasonable fees.

Both of our children attended this academy from just a couple months old all the way through Pre-K. The teachers there are so kind and full of love for the children, often feeling like an extension of our own family. I felt we had a very good partnership in caring for and teaching the children. There is a state of the art safety system to only allow parents and authorized visitors into the building. The center is on a large piece of wooded property with multiple age-appropriate playgrounds. The teachers are great at giving the children outdoor time. The teacher of the threes room is particularly adept at exposing the children to nature. Our children have gotten to see turtles, frogs, rabbits, and cicadas during their normal play time at this academy. During the summer months, the staff does weekly "Water Play" days where the children get to splash in sprinklers and kiddie pools. The teachers and the kitchen staff provide healthy lunch and snacks for the children who need it and at the same time endeared themselves to the children. Both of my children still like to put on latex gloves and pretend to be the provider making food. Finally, one of the very first reasons this academy caught our attention is how supportive they are of breastfeeding. The infant and toddler rooms are both equipped to warm and feed provided breastmilk (if desired). The administrative staff will helpfully field calls and check on supply if you are worried. We have had a very joyous time at this academy. They have been an excellent resource for our family.

My son loves arriving to the center every morning. He's always ready to enter his class and start learning something everyday. I feel secure when I drop my son off and pick him up because I know he is safe and happy.
