How time flies! It seemed like it was just yesterday when our daughter started at the academy. I think I was even more nervous than her on that first day not knowing how she was going to take it all in, knowing up to that point we have not really had any formalized schooling. There really was no need for me to worry though because by the time I picked her up she was smiling and was actually excited about school. I would like to sincerely thank you and your staff for making the last school year an absolute blast! Our daughter progressed so fast that she now writes, counts and reads with confidence! Thank you for creating a nurturing and safe environment where kids feel like kids at the same time given the essential building blocks to ensure that they are successful in whichever program they continue to. I also would like to specially mention Ms. Yolanda who lovingly prepares the kid's meals; Ms. Medalia who is always helpful; Ms. Alexis and Ms. Carmenia who made summer camp super fun and cool; Ms. Sharon and Ms. Carmelita whom she found her second niche and Ms. Sebina who is so kind and of course Ms. Senait who really nurtured her, patiently worked with her and yet lovingly oriented her to school do's and don'ts. Again THANK YOU for having such a great team of teachers who love what they do and it shows and the kids know and feel it. We will always cherish having started with Northern Virginia academy of early learning.

Thank you Thank you…. For the past 5 years I don’t know what I would have done if it wasn’t for NVA and Ms. Rhi making the decision to fit one more child into her school. From there a year later Skyler came. And NVA has been our children’s 2nd home since then. My children absolutely love their teachers, feel safe, have learned more than their parents could ever teach them, helped Skyler walk, helped him start talking and so much more. Thao and I are so grateful for absolutely everything NVA has done for our family, and to say we will miss you… that is a huge understatement. We can’t believe in less than 1 week both of our children will be in Elementary School. We appreciate, Ms. Melissa, Ms. Yuri, Ms. J, Ms. Yasmine, Ms. Katrese and Ms. Rhi and all the other teachers that have touched my children’s lives. You hugged them when they fell on the playground, and I wasn’t there. You talked them down when they were fighting with friends. You drew them out when they were quiet or worried or discouraged. You cheered the loudest when they finally got it, that thing that had them confused for so long. You put up with my kids when they were less than they could have been. You all are the greatest gifts my children have ever been given. Thank you from the bottom of Thao and my heart for everything you have done for our children and for making them be successful and ready for the next chapter of their lives! We love you NVA!

I'm so happy we found Northern Virginia Academy-Burke for our son, who has been going here since he was 6 months old and is now graduating pre-school. Every teacher he's had has loved on him and treated him like family, and the staff is professional yet kind-hearted. All the classrooms are newly renovated and the outside play area is really big. The recent addition of emailed KidReports with photos every day and the online payment system are good too.
