Minnieland Academy at Occoquan

"Minnieland Academy Occoquan - A Home Away from Home for my Granddaughter I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience at Minnieland Academy (Occoquan). My granddaughter has been a part of this wonderful daycare since before she could even walk, and now, as she approaches three years old, I couldn't imagine her anywhere else. The Director, teachers, and staff at Minnieland Occoquan are nothing short of amazing. They greet my granddaughter and me with warm smiles every morning, making us feel like part of their extended family. The care and attention they provide go above and beyond, creating a nurturing and loving environment. Minnieland Occoquan offers outstanding programs that not only educate but also make learning an enjoyable experience for the children. My granddaughter has thrived here, and it's clear she's not only learning but having a blast while doing so. She eagerly anticipates her days at preschool Explorers, and that, in itself, speaks volumes about the quality of care and education provided. What sets Minnieland Occoquan apart is the personal touch. It's a place where everyone knows your name and, more importantly, knows which parent belongs to each child. This sense of community extends to other parents as well; the friendly atmosphere makes it easy to connect and build relationships. Trust is something that must be earned, and Minnieland Academy Occoquan has certainly earned ours. I can't express my gratitude enough for the exceptional care they provide. A special shout-out to Kim1 and Kim2, who have been instrumental in our positive experience here. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Minnieland Academy (Occoquan) to anyone seeking a safe, loving, and educational environment for their child. It's more than just a daycare; it's a second home where children can learn, grow, and flourish. Minnieland Occoquan has my complete trust, and I am thankful to be part of this amazing community. Sincerely Jeannine Carter Grandma (mimi)"

"My daughter has been at Minnieland at Occoquan for almost a year and the director and the staff are awesome. They are very patient with her, they treat you like family, and their communication is on point. The center always smells good and is very clean. They follow all protocols for the COVID 19 and make sure that my daughter as well as other children are safe by maintaining social distancing , children from ages 2 and up along with their teachers wear mask. Their director is very welcoming and works with you through all your questions, she checks up on your if we miss a day just to make sure that we are ok. I couldn't have picked a better place for my daughter to learn and feel safe."

"We attended this facility for almost 2 years. The beginning was a little rough due to run ins & discrepancies with the management at the time but soon as Ms Angela became the Director THE WHOLE CENTER CHANGED for the BEST!!!! the staff seem happier, the environment feels warmer, the attitudes from ALL made a complete 360 turn. Ms Kim (lead supervisor) & Ms Angela loved my 3 sons like they were family. My 2 yr old NEVER cried when dropped off, his teachers were so good with him. We left because we moved away, but we still keep in touch with the teachers & Ms Angela & my 2.5 year old still asks about his teachers & classmates. We miss you Minnieland at Occoquan!"

"I am usually very picky when it comes to daycares for my children but I have only amazing things to say about this place. EVERY teacher in the infant room is fantastic. Ms Kim, Ms Kailah, Ms Roe, Ms Aisha, Ms Sharon all truly care about the children. My daughter (just turned 1) jumps out of my arms with big smiles on her face when she sees her teachers EVERY morning. I have popped in at random times during the day on purpose. She is always happy. Not only just her, all the babies are happy. This is already her third daycare; I thought having a full room of crying babies is unavoidable before I found this place. When I did a surprise pop-in at a previous daycare, I found my daughter crying by herself in a ball pit (obviously changed daycare soon after that). I would recommend the infant room of Minnieland at Occoquan to any family and friends with a heartbeat (no experience with other rooms yet). Ms Joyce did a great job running this place. This place is a hidden gem!"

"Minnieland Academy at Occquan is such a great daycare! My son is 11 months and has been attending since 10 weeks old. The care that teachers have for all of the children is so wonderful. Ms. Aisha and Ms. Kim do a tremendous job of taking care of my son and going above and beyond. You can truly tell the love all the kiddos that come to their daycare. Every morning my son has a giant smile on his face when I drop him off. The director, Ms. Joyce is also just as great. She keeps in touch with the parents and is always happy sit down to answer questions or concerns. I couldn't ask for a better daycare or a more loving team of teachers to take care of my little boy!!"
