Herndon/Reston Parents: Any feedback on Gardner School, Herndon Children's Center or Simon Center?

Hi, any recent updates/reviews about The Gardner School, Herndon?

My son just started at the Gardner School in Herndon this week, so while it's too early to say for certain, we've been very pleased with his experience thus far. He is only an infant, but we know his needs are being met from the regular updates we get throughout the day from the teachers via their app, and he's always happy/fed/dry at pick-up. Staff and other parents alike are also extremely friendly, and tuition (for infants) was actually the lowest I found in the area ($400/week).

I visited the Gardner school and was not happy with their food policy. I wanted to bring in organic milk/yogurt for my preschool age DD and was told that it is not something they would accommodate. A big deal breaker for me. I ended up enrolling DD in the Goddard School of Herndon. We love it so far.

We attend The Goddard School which is in Herndon on Sunrise Valley Drive. So far we have been very happy with the education our son receives and the daily communication we get from the teachers. The facility is very clean and their academic program we are impressed with. The teachers we have met all seem to all genuinely care for the children. We receive daily activity reports with pictures of our son sent to our email. Definitely worth adding it to your list of schools to visit.

Both our kids attend The Goddard School in Herndon on Sunrise Valley Dr. It is close to Gardner School. We love the teachers our kids have and everyone is very friendly. My kids are happy during pick up time and seem to be learning new things every week.
We also like the fact that they communicate any updates to us and management is easy to talk to.

Has anyone here looked at Happy Hearts in Herndon? Their tuition is much lower so I am looking at it.

I currently live in Reston and our daughter is going to a home daycare, however, they follow the Mother Goose learning and she is writing her name, learning about so many things and they do the absolute cutest projects. Our daughter will be 5 in October and she would stay right up until Kindergarten if it werent for the fact we that we are moving. Our son also went there for 4 years before kindergarten. I highly recommend Grow and Learn Child Care. Miss Jenny loves the kids, interacts with all of them, knows their personalities in and out, teaches them so much about so many things (My daughter can tell you all about George Washington and Ayers Rock). They go to the pool in the summer, take walks every day as long as it is safe to do so, lots of outside play time, structured days and activities, and a caring nurturing environment. We are heartbroken to have to leave. We have been there for 7 years, going on 8, with two different kids.
She is licensed as well.

Age 2-6 is $285 a week. Don't tell her I told you so but I believe she is negotiable. We got locked in at lower rates due to being there forever.

Wanted to get recent feedback from the Goddard school in Herndon, but is it me or the previous posts in this thread seem written by the school’s director? Very consistent with the amount of spam they send!
But anyhow, any actual real feedback is greatly appreciated
