[quote=Anonymous]Our son attended Vinci not long after it opened in 2017 and we took him out in 2018. Actually we were asked to leave. Yeah, that's not legal. We started our son there when he was 16 months old and did really well in the junior toddler room. Ms. Irene is a great teacher in the junior toddler classroom and I hope she is still there because she formed a strong connection with our son and he thrived. Problems started when he was moved up to the senior toddler classroom. The teacher was not as good and I don't think she was well prepared for the job. Though she tried hard. Long story short, our son was showing some developmental delays and instead of trying to help us out the administrator there simply suggested that we find another school. Our meetings with the administrator (who has since left) and the owner were, for the most part, unprofessional and not handled well. The owner, Dr. Dan, is not as organized as I would have liked. I think she is spread too thin and it shows. I can't speak for the teacher turnover but it seemed high. We enrolled our son in another daycare in Alexandria and the difference has been nothing less than a revelation. It's hard to understand this unless you're at a place that's well organized and where the classroom sizes are such that the teacher is able and willing to tailor their approach to your child. I hope that the new administrator at Vinci does a better job than the last one. All of the teachers seemed earnest and caring, but it's hard to give a recommendation to a place that's run by Dr. Dan. Also, re booing at graduation, I wasn't there but my wife was. She didn't say anything about parents booing but there was definitely some grumbling going on from parents. [/quote]
