What Parents Say

Check out what APC parents past and present have to say:

I absolutely love this daycare. The people in the Woodbridge location are what makes you love this business. They truly care about your child and it's evident. You kind of get spoiled here. I feel my child is the way she is today truly bc of this daycare and their staff. All meals are provided and their price is pretty good for the area without having to pay for a supply fee. They do a lot of activities and bring home fun little projects often. This place is highly recommended. Both locations are great!

I have nothing but AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING things to say about APC. We've been sending our children here for the past 8 years. I owe so much of my parenting knowledge to APC as the first year with them, I was raising my oldest on my own while his father was away for the military. They have guided me when it came to monitoring development and they even help with potty training. They're on top of everything; it's amazing. Not to mention, the staff are incredibly personable and easy going. After a while, they'll even start to feel like family. You can tell that they care and love these kids. Simply, I love the way they treat my children and I love how happy they are when they're there.

Annandale Playcare has been a godsend for our family! The care that our two daughters have received over the last two years has been fantastic. The communication between Ms. Vera, Ms. Michelle, and our family has been consistent and transparent. They go above and beyond to ensure the safety and health of all of the children in their facility. They have become an extension of our family, and there is nothing more comforting than knowing our children are well taken care of and protected when we cannot be with them. As someone who has inspected daycare facilities for 19yrs, I highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for quality care!
