Children’s International School

I preface this review by saying my child is currently not attending the school, but on the wait list for the 2 year old program. I’m writing this because of the review that was written on ⁷⁄₂₂ which I found to be very misleading. I did not visit the Arlington location, but visited the Alexandria location.
My husband, daughter, and I toured the school in July as well. The Director was very welcoming. We were not only given the opportunity to tour the school, but we were also able to observe the 2 year old classroom and my daughter was invited to play with some of their toys and engage the children in that classroom. The Director took the time to explain the background of the Reggio Emilia Curriculum and how it is manifested in the classrooms even in the youngest ones. After she answered all of our questions, I asked to see the rest of the classrooms. She gave me a tour of the other classrooms and sat down in the office afterwards and answered any other questions. We put our deposit down on the spot.
As far as diversity goes — it seemed to be — both the children and the teachers, aides, etc. The staff were engaged with the children and the facilities were clean despite the fact that it was snack time.
