Country Woodland

I would not leave my infant at country woodlands or Springfield academy. I toured both of them and specifically was a little bit disturbed by the infant room at country woodlands. They had so many babies that they weren't taking them out of the crib or their infant seats and there was no place for them to roll/crawl around. Also the staff at both places seemed apathetic to the children. They were doing the bare minimum.

I would tour a few local places yourself and also check the Virginia department of social services website. I liked what I saw at the Annandale United Methodist Church and at my baby steps academy. Good luck mama!

Thanks for the replies. This is OP. So far we’ve toured Country Woodland and were very underwhelmed.
I’ll add Annandale United Methodist to the list. Just curious- we are not religious. Does anyone know how much emphasis they put on religion for infants/toddlers?

Has anyone used Word of Life?

And what were the concerns with Springfield Academy? Would you have these concerns for an older child age 2?

I only toured the infant room at Springfield academy. I have no idea about older children.
