I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I checked out several so call "Big Box Daycare centers" throughout the Quantico and Dumfries area. Once I met with the director Ms. Marlene and had a tour of the facility, I knew it was the right place for my son who was 6 month old when enrolled. But from the very beginning our experience with our center and its staff made us feel at ease and comfortable and now over year later we think of it as a second home. My son is excited when we pull into the drive and says "Mamma, we home, to school!" He has developed positive, caring relationships with the staff and love teachers. My son isnt the only one who has made friends, I too have grown fond of the Director and teachers! We are very thankful to Rising Stars Daycare and its staff for giving us a great place for our son to be nutured, educated and loved while we are at work.

When I looked around at child care options in woodbridge area, none of them compared to Rising Stars Daycare Center in Dumfries. My children have never gone to daycare before. I was very picky on where they went. I am so glad I chose this center I feel like my children are in good hands, I absolutely LOVE Rising Stars Daycare. My son attends there and he is just as happy as can be. I Love the teachers and Director miss Marlene she always on top of things at the center. They are always there when I need them. Everyone there is respectful and professional and I really like that. It's like an extension of our family. Not only does the Center provide a safe and educational environment for the child, but they genuinely show great concern and offer support to our entire family. There is no other daycare for my kids! Thanks Rising Stars! this daycare is a blessing to me. I go to work happy knowing my son is in good hands. :) They Rock

I am so happy to find Rising Stars Daycare in Dumfries Va. Our family moved from San Jose this summer and I was looking for a new daycare center for my baby #2. I visited several home daycare and daycare centers facilities in the area but was not satisfied. The Director is very helpful and knowledgeable, really open and showed me around her new fantastic Daycare Center. She told me that I have to be happy with my decision and she encouraged me to look around before deciding. I recommend this center for parents with kids that are living in the area or close by.
