Pva Academy Daycare & Pre-School

I could write a thesis on the PVA Academy Daycare & Pre-​School and it wouldn’t be enough to convey how wonderful this place is. In fact, I never refer to it as «daycare» because this truly is a learning institution, even before your child is old enough to take their first step. Our now-​four year old has attended PVA since she was one, and my goodness has she flourished. One of our big worries when our daughter was born was the fact that we are both working parents and someone else would essentially «raise» her during the day until we were able to pick her up. Our concerns melted away the first week of her care there, when we would arrive to a detailed written summary of how her day went, what she ate, how much of it she ate, how many times she went potty, what «type» of potty, etc. And on top of that, she was actually bringing home art «projects»! At age One! Now, at age four, the work the PVA staff puts in with her is obvious, as her manners, vocabulary, and deductive reasoning astounds us for a child her age. Marcia is a wonderful director and — while the staff does turn over now and again — those who leave always seem to be replaced with others who are just as caring, cheery, and committed to our child. I can’t recommend PVA enough, and we will be sad when our daughter leaves to attend Kindergarten in 2017.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier to have both of our children attending PVA. The staff is very caring and the programs are run very well. I can see the development in both of our children in terms of language and communication skills along with how they interact with other children. It is always a delight to see the arts and crafts projects that our daughter brings home from her classes with Ms. Jo. I would highly recommend PVA for parents looking for a quality program for their infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.
