Rise and Shine Preschool Center

"Can't say enough about Rise and Shine, Monica, and the teachers. My son was in Rise and Shine during the pandemic, and I was so sad to leave as we relocated to another city. They were professional and caring. Monica was great at communicating via email. They were faithful in using the Bright wheel app to update me on my child's activities. I had a ton of friends who went here and brought their children through. If you've had a bad experience, try it again! Their check in and check out system was great. I guess the down side might be that they don't provide food, but it's not too much of a barrier because the benefits outweigh that downside."

"My twins went here from 18 months to 5 yrs old. It is absolutely the best place in Fairfax to take your kids. The owner, Monica, is always on site and has a vested interest in quality and safety. You don't get that at franchise/corporate daycares, which you should avoid. My twins learned how to be sociable and behave well with others at Rise and Shine. We will be returning for summer camp. The staff and owner are extremely attentive, they suggested we should get help when one of our twins wasn't communicating as much. It turned out he needed ear surgery because he couldn't hear in one ear! The new building is clean and bright and I trust them with my kids. Just go to Fairfax City and check them out. It's absolutely worth the drive. There were two other daycares closer to me, but Rise and Shine was far superior."

"We are so happy with Rise and Shine Daycare. My kid loves going to the daycare. The teachers are very friendly and take very good care of our kid. The teachers provide a great balance of fun, learning, problem solving, and friendship. I highly recommend this daycare."

"I cannot say enough great things about Rise and Shine. Both my kids have gone there since they were 6 months old (2 and 4 now) and it has been the best experience. The teachers are wonderful and kind, and I'm amazed by how much my kids have learned (manners! education! emotional intelligence! Spanish!). I'm so appreciative of the ample free play that the kids have, as movement was extremely important to me when selecting a daycare. It feels hard these days to find a place where kids can just be kids. We are moving soon for a work relocation, and I have cried many tears about our kids leaving this wonderful school as I'm just not sure another school will measure up! I highly recommend."

"Cannot say enough about the wonderful teachers and staff at Rise and Shine. Our son attended here as soon as he was old enough (4 months) and the amazing teachers showed him so much love and care, and still do to this day. We are forever grateful to Rise and Shine for treating our son like their own. They care deeply about the kids and it shows. I would highly recommend this place to any and all parents."
