  Upon moving to the Vienna, i struggled with child care - most were expensive and the ones that were not expensive were sketchy. I put my 2 children in a "ok" place with some reservations. When they had been there for about 9 mons. my spidey senses were on fire and i started looking for other options.
  
  and I fell in love! I LOVE St. Luke's. Ms. Sherry is impressive - she helped create/used to work on creating curriculum for Fairfax county. She runs a tight ship - sets high expectations and is very clear with both parents and teachers of those expectations!
  
  Both of my girls LOVE the school – they have excelled in scholastics, behavioral, and socially. My daughter is prepared to enter Kindergarten adeptly and my other daughter is on track with her peers. I also love that the school is multi-cultural 
  
  I only wish they would open an infant room (note: they start at 2.5yr old). You won’t go wrong keeping this on your list of pre-school’s to visit.

  After multiple reminders and multiple emails, the school is not returning our deposit and also not providing tax receipts. I am just frustrated with this 'I dont care' attitude.

  Its been 2 years since my son is going out there.
  This place has its pro and cons. I think pros are mentioned below.
  Lets talk about cons.
  1. They are very short in level of teaching to prepare for K. I have many friends and they kids are able to read a story book before entering K. Lately, its turned out to be more like a day-care then Pre-School honestly.
  2. Old facility - This place has frequent AC issues, and overall is old building feeling. They do keep it clean, but the facility itself is old for one to look at.
  
  I am not worried much about old facility but they should hire or train teachers to raise the bar on teaching aspect.

  My son just started going there. The place has many kids, probably around 70 of them. The classrooms are clean and teachers are nice. My son is vegetarian and the food options for vegetarians is pretty good. Unfortunately, he doesn't eat and their rule is not to push/help the kids in eating so he comes home hungry. I heard from someone else with similar issue. Plus he is not use to drinking cold milk or juice. I guess its more of a problem for my son rather than the general population. The daily report is high level but the teachers are there to answer questions everyday. It really preps you for elementary. My son is going full time there currently. Daily activities are definitely very good and he likes them. I do recommend this pre-school to anyone.

  February 2012- Our son has been going here for almost two years, and his little sister will start there later this spring. We have been very, very happy with St. Luke's and their approach to balancing academic learning with social skills development and physical development. For us, it was incredibly important that there be a balance of structured learning and learning through play, and we feel very lucky to have found a school that matches our parenting philosophy. It may not be the perfect fit for every family, but we've recommended St. Luke's to new neighbors and friends, and those who've chosen the school have had a positive experience, too. We have become close to his teachers, and we really feel like they work to build a partnership with the parents. We also like that they mix age groups at meal times, to help children build social confidence in interacting with older children or helping younger children. This practice has also helped our son develop relationships with all the teachers, easing any issues as he's transitioned through the age-grouped classrooms. The hours are really wonderful for working parents (7AM to 6PM), and they offer several flexible options- fulltime, several days per week, or part-day. The menu is based on FDA preschool diet guidelines, and catered by a well-known company, and they offer a vegetarian option, and I have seen them work with parents to accomodate dietary restrictions when possible. The playground is well-maintained, and they take the kids out twice a day in good weather. In bad weather, they use the lunch room as an indoor gym, or they do obstacle courses in their classrooms- in any event, the teachers ensure they get physical activity every day. Overall, a really wonderful place for our family.
