Schools in Centreville, VA

“Our son has been going here for a little over two years now and it has been a wonderful experience for him and us. He started at 4 months and has now progressed through three classrooms. All of the teachers he has had are so loving and caring, and he has learned so much. He knows his ABCs, how to count, the words to songs. We receive a calendar each month of what activities and learning objectives they have for each day (things like animals, fruits and vegetables and safety, etc.) and every summer they have an awesome summer program with splash days, petting zoo, making their own stuffed animals, and just really awesome activities. Their director is on top of everything and is great at communication and making sure everyone is in the loop and is always quick to respond with any questions I have. This has also been great for his social skills. He learns how to respectfully interact with other children and play well and share. When I go to pick him up I usually have to cajole him to leave with me because he wants to stay and play longer.

We only toured this one place when we were looking for daycares and felt like maybe we should see more because the recommendation is always to evaluate multiple daycares but we felt so at easy after our tour and that this would a great environment for him and we haven't regretted that once. We feel very grateful to have this high-quality care center so close to us.”

“We couldn’t have been more fortunate to have found this wonderful school. Their care, dedication, commitment to education and programs that enrich each day with fun, imagination and learning is unmatched. We consider them family - they cared for our boys with such love, compassion and joy. This school, the director and the amazing teachers have had such a positive impact on our boys, and it’s because of the kind and nurturing environment they create, and the wonderful people they are.”

“In the beginning of 2024, I was searching for a daycare after having two not-so-great experiences elsewhere. From the very first visit at Ms. Gina’s, I could tell this place was completely different. Ms. Gina and her entire staff are simply the best — so friendly, caring, and personal. You can see that this is truly Ms. Gina’s passion.

I feel my son is loved, cared for, and in the best hands every single day. We were so happy with our experience that this year we enrolled our second child without even considering another option. Ms. Gina and her amazing team have been the perfect choice for our family, and we feel so blessed to have found them!”

“We had a wonderful experience at Compton. We made a very quick change from a different school where the administration was not up to standard. Compton able to accommodate us immediately, processing everything on the spot so we had no gap in child care. All of the teachers and administrators are friendly and personable, we developed long term relationships with many who continue to check in on our daughter even after we've departed. From the live stream cameras to the direct cell phone access to teachers and admins, there is no comparison at any other school in terms of access to your child during the day. We were so sad to leave the area and CCA! An amazing option for those seeking quality care and community in the Centreville area.”

“I am highly recommend this daycare for any parents. My daughter started this school when she was one year old, now she is almost 4. All the teachers and management team are very responsible and kid, my daughter really having a good time in this school, she is not only playing with their friends , but also learning a lot. My whole family really appreciated all staff members here.”

“Our daughter attended Centreville Preschool, Inc. (CPI) for two wonderful years, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience. The teachers are incredibly caring, experienced, and genuinely invested in each child's growth and well-being. The play-based approach was exactly what we were looking for—it supported our daughter’s development while keeping learning joyful and engaging.

One of the unique aspects of CPI is that it’s a cooperative preschool, which meant we had the opportunity to spend meaningful time in the classroom and really get to know the children and teachers. It also gave us the chance to be involved in supporting the school in ways that felt purposeful and community-building.

CPI quickly became more than just a preschool—it became our community. We formed life-long friendships with other families, and I’m so grateful for that connection. While the school is located inside a church building, it is not religiously affiliated. The space is clean, spacious, and thoughtfully arranged for young children to thrive.

We’re so thankful for the foundation CPI provided our daughter—and for the lasting memories we made there as a family.”

“Highly recommended! As a mom who switched 3 times daycare to find a place just makes me feel not that bad to drop my baby off outside the house. Kiddie academy is definitely the best in this area. My daughter start in toddlers and then 2’s classroom, couldn’t be more satisfied. It able to combines the best teachers with passionate and stability, all the lovely family activities, big clean rooms, warm environments. So sad we have to leave due to relocation, I toured all the daycare near my new house and couldn’t even find one close to the quality care of kiddie academy.”

“My husband and I felt like we made a great choice in having our daughter enrolled at Minnieland. We have seen the improvements she has made in her development and preparing her for Kindergarten. We enjoy all the staff and you can see they care for children. They have gone through some staff changes but it's okay because the new staff has been wonderful. I enjoy the communication and the updates on the Procare app including pictures of what my daughter has been doing. We wish the company could bus her to her assigned school when she starts school but we will most likely have her at Minnieland for Summer Camps and breaks.”

“La Petite Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family. We enrolled our child when they were just four months old, and from the very beginning, we knew we had made the right choice. The staff's genuine warmth and expertise created an environment where our child not only felt safe and loved but also thrived.

Over the years, we've watched our child grow from a tiny infant into a curious, confident, and independent little person, and La Petite has been a huge part of that transformation. From supporting us in BLW to the curriculum being thoughtfully designed to be both fun and educational, focusing on social, emotional, and cognitive development. We've seen our child learn everything from sharing and teamwork to early literacy and problem-solving skills, all through engaging activities and play.

What truly sets La Petite apart is the dedication of the teachers. Our child has interacted with Ms. Esther, Ms. Sandra, Ms.Tiffany and Ms. Shanon since 4 months old. They are more than just caregivers; they are passionate educators who genuinely invest in each child's success. Their open communication and willingness to partner with us have made us feel like a team, all working toward the same goal. As our child gets ready to transition to kindergarten, we are confident that La Petite has provided them with an incredible foundation for future success. We couldn't have asked for a better start.”
