The Churchland KinderCare staff are amazing! The staff are experienced, professional, and provide excellent care of my children. It is with their efforts I can see progression in my children’s growth and development. The center directors (Mrs. Minerva and Mrs. Rhonda) are readily available whenever I have questions, concerns, etc. which eases the stress for this working mom. I can’t say enough how much I appreciate what each of them do every day!

My five year old Will has been attending the Churchland KinderCare for the last five months. Prior to attending, he was at the La Petite Academy in Portsmouth for six months. During that time, we had so many behavioral issues with our son and the teachers not willing to work with him on them. Before leaving La Petite, my son was diagnosed with ADHD, which was very heart wrenching for my husband and me to come to terms with and hear. Since the first day of KinderCare, they have not once judged us as parents or, more importantly, my son. Even after hearing the horror stories from his previous preschool, which was not willing to work through the difficulties associated with his diagnosis. It is wonderful to see my son being welcomed by his teachers, Center Director, Assistant director, and the amazing chef, Ms. Ann. As parents, we have to put our trust in the place and staff that cares for our children while we are working. My son has the utmost respect for his Ms. Shameka, Ms. Whitney and Ms. Ann, who is one of the most amazing women I have met. Every morning, I am reminded by Ms. Ann and his morning teacher, Ms. Shameka on how well our son gets along with his friends and his teachers. Also, all the teachers have to do is give our soon a certain look and he knows that he needs to adjust his behavior. I just want to thank KinderCare their teachers and staff, who are all well-educated, experienced and patient. I have never received a phone call from one teacher about not being able to deal with my son’s diagnosis; they just know! I truly appreciate that they also educate my child every day socially and academically. Personally, I believe that everyone here is amazing. I will always have you in my thoughts and prayers for the peace of mind you have given me.

My husband and I began utilizing Kindercare in Virginia Beach almost seven years ago for our oldest son! He was able to make a smooth transition to elementary school from there. Our younger son went there from six weeks to four years in age. Both boys loved KinderCare and learned so much more than I even expected! Our youngest son still needed care when we moved from Virginia Beach, so we enrolled him at Churchland Kindercare. He has been there for about a year and the staff is just as great! However, it is going to be a bittersweet goodbye because he is moving on to big boy school this year!
