[quote=Anonymous]We are considering this for little one, who will be 2.5 when he starts this fall.  We toured their facility about a year ago and were not very impressed.  Mostly what we didn't like was that the environment seemed very chaotic.  Also the food they were serving did not seem very healthy.  We put our name on the list anyway, just as a back-up, as they didn't seem to have as long of lists as the places in Arlington.

We recently returned for another tour and it seemed that some things had changed (for the better).  It seems they have tried to revamp their menus to be healthier, which is great.  They had also made some changes to the 2-yr-old classrooms where they've broken the class up a bit, which is great.  However, the larger of the two classes still had the chaos, as did much of the other classrooms.  The teachers in general did not seem to have much order in their classrooms and the noise level was very high (at least compared to other places we've toured, including Little Ambassadors in Arlington, Bright Horizons on Carlin Springs, and Reston Montessori).  I'm very much an introvert so loud spaces bother me and I couldn't see learning in that environment, but maybe it's not as hard for 2-yr-olds.  Also, they seemed actually against a Catholic education which just confused me.

Any thoughts from folks who currently have their kids there to help in this decision?

Thanks so much!
