"White Oak ECC was exactly what we were looking for when my husband and I began our childcare search for our son.  He was three years old at the time and only family members had cared for him, but Mrs. Shah and all of the other teachers made his transition very smooth.  He immediately took to the routine and structure of his classroom and he looked forward to going to 'school'.  White Oak provided learning as well as a social environment, which was one of the many things I was looking for in a center given my daycare experience before graduating college.  The curriculum is well planned and the small class size is wonderful for allowing extra attention where it is needed.  My son loved informing his father and I about the election last year, he had learned the names of all the candidates and even recognized their pictures.  We were really impressed with his development and thank White Oak's staff for everything."  Parent - Kristy Long                 "Honestly, your program has been a Godsend to my family and I.  My son had never been away from me and you made the transition smooth.   He learned so much from potty training to speaking properly, socialization and general manners. I am very impressed with your willing to work with us on many different situations!  I feel totally comfortable and confident when I drop my son off and leave him for the day.  I have highly recommended and commended your center!" Parent -Lisa Wood, Sandston VA            "Our experience with White Oak ECC has been phenomenal. We placed our two children at this facility back in 2006. My daughter was 4 years old and my son was 18 months. Neither had ever been in any daycare setting and whatI loved about White Oak ECC is that it had structure and a curriculum. This truly prepared my daughter for entering Kindergarten the following year. She has excelled in her academics and social life in Elementary School.My son's class only had 5 children total. This really allowed for one on one development and I am so impressed with his achievements. He is now 4 years old and can write his name with assistance, recognize all his shapes, colors, numbers up to 10 in writing and can count to 20 +. He can recognize all his letters and even knows some of their sounds.      We investigated and visited other facilities in the area but we found they were missing a very unique quality that White Oak ECC possesses. It has the perfect balance between development and personal-ism.The caregivers at White Oak have all been very personal and have become a part of our extended family. They take pictures of special events or activities and share them by email at no additional cost. This is wonderful for parents who can't be there with our children to see what they are doing during the day. They plan special activities for the kids that are age appropriate.They use several communication hubs to keep parent abreast of their child's performance, behaviors, and activities. They use email, a "report card" twice a year that compares developmental milestones, conferences if need or requested, and daily/weekly reviews depending on the child's age.
