  This place is a gem! It's located on a quiet street in north Reston in a very safe area. Ms. Donna and all of the staff members there are so sweet to the kids and really care about everybody. Our sweet girl goes to the School Age care there every summer (and on some elementary breaks during the school year) and can't wait to come back for her third year in a row next month. She has a blast with Mr. Will & Mr. Mohammed. They're energetic and a lot of fun for the kids to be around!

  Lake Newport has been a wonderful fit for our family. Our two children attend, with one in the Threes class and the youngest about to move up into the Twos. The teachers at Lake Newport demonstrate so much compassion, and our kids have truly thrived here. They've made great friends and are excited to go to school every day. Mrs. Kathy in the Threes class is absolutely adored by our daughter. She has learned so much and always comes home eager to share what she’s been taught. We can see that she is genuinely challenged and engaged. Mrs. Brenda has been like family to our son. She helped him settle in when he first started and his progress in talking and socializing has been remarkable. He has truly blossomed, and we can tell Mrs. Brenda genuinely cares about every child. We often find Clark sitting on her lap when we pick him up, which speaks volumes about the love and trust she has built with the children. We feel incredibly fortunate that all the teachers at Lake Newport KinderCare, including Mr. Mohammad, Ms. Amanda, Mr. Will, Mrs. Esther, Ms. Jessica, Ms. Donna and many others, have shown so much love and dedication to our kids. We highly recommend Lake Newport KinderCare to any family looking for a caring, nurturing, and enriching environment for their children.

  My husband and I have been to at least 3 other daycare centers around the area and decided to come here for its value and convenience of location. I will be honest I was not impressed with the previous Center Director. She always seemed angry making everyone feel uncomfortable, not available for follow ups/chats and very poor & inequate on outgoing communications. I have called the KC headquarter a few times to verify the policies and guidelines because I felt like I was mislead. I considered switching but I absolutely adore my teachers in the infant room so made it very hard to make a decision. Well, needless to say I am glad we stayed, Jessica (Assistant Director) has always been amazing throughout the year and new Director, Donna’s been great and very responsive which is what I would expect from a Center Director who oversees and in charge of the operation. My daughter absolutely loves all of her teachers in the infrant and toddler room. She gets super excited to see them in the morning and theres been times when she didn’t want to get picked up & go home. Made us sad but I love that she loves & feels comfortable with them. Lack of turnover has definitely helped not only myself but my daughter to transition easily. I would give a solid 10/10 on all the teachers I’ve gotten to know & meet. They are great with kids and it’s nice to know they have the best interests in them and I don’t need to worry about my daughters wellbeing which is a great feeling & assurance to have. Thank you all for everything you do & making a great impact on my daughters life. Jennifer Collins-

  We have had a variety of issues with this center, but they got significantly worse after the center director of 20+ years was forced to resign. The issues included a teacher roughly grabbing my 3-year-old by the arm while I was watching. She was upset with how he was playing on the playground. He cried out, "Stop, you're hurting me!" as she dragged him. I spoke to the new center director and to her credit she did seem appropriately concerned about how inappropriate the teacher's behavior was and promised to address it. Also following the resignation there was a lot of teacher turnover, where unfortunately the majority of our favorite teachers at the center left, many whom had been there for 10+ years. We have since left the center and are having ongoing issues with getting our account credit refunded to us. It has been nearly four months. I learned the hard way that there was a reason this center didn't have a waiting list, like the majority of other child care facilities in Reston. I especially regret not leaving KinderCare sooner now that we've moved on to a new child care facility and are experiencing better quality and standards.
