My 3 1/2 year old son started in Chantilly then moved to Ashburn then back to Chantilly (due to our work not anything to do with the school). I can not imagine a better place to put him. Yes it is expensive (although the drop in price coming in August in Chantilly will help. Everywhere we go people think he is a small 5 year old and are amazed with his vocabulary English and Spanish. Plenty of fun and learning all wrapped up into a beautiful friendly environment. If you can afford it put your child here. If you can't afford it get a part time job and put your child here.
I am surprised about the comment below. My son moved from another daycare to BeanTree and I have noticed a tremendous difference on his learning and behaviour. Our kid gets there happy every morning and many times doesn't want to leave. As with every daycare -I can find many flaws - no one is better than mom. But I can tell that the teachers create a nurturing environmnet - they are kind, and patient with every kid because they want to do this job. The teacher-child ratio is superior and that also makes a difference ! The director has been very easy to talk with and has indeed strong attention to detail to run the opertaion of the daycare very efficiently. It is expensive - but - VERY MUCH WORTH IT !
We've had our sons at Beantree since April 2005 when they were 2 years old. They are now in the kindergarten program there. It has been the best experience. I'm surprised at the comments from the Feb. 21, we've never seen A.I. on TV there. It is a warm, loving environment where children are constantly stimulated. The teachers are fabulous. I can't keep up with what the kids are learning. The best test for me is when I go to pick up the boys in the afternoon. It would take my up to 30 minutes because they did not want to leave. I'll take that over crying at drop off any day. For us, yes, it has been expensive but it is (and has been) the best place for our sons.
The afterschool and summer programs definitely leave something to be desired. The quality of the 'programs' and the teachers is not high and definitely not commensurate with the price. Kids are left to entertain themselves and that leads to chaos and conflict. The quality at the school has definitely degraded with time ... the preschool programs used to be excellent.
