3 Best Preschools in Virginia Beach, VA

I love courthouse Academy! My oldest daughter is 12 now and she used to attend Courthouse Academy. I loved it so much that I enrolled my second daughter. She has been attending for four years now. I absolutely love all of her teachers over the years. I can tell they all have a genuine love for all the students. The year to year transition is amazing. The teachers know all the students and all the students know all the teachers. I love that my daughter is consistently exposed to the Spanish language with a Spanish teacher in every classroom. The administration staff is wonderful and welcoming. They have an art, music, physical education teacher and even a nurse. Just amazing! I love the small class sizes and the open communication I can have with my daughter’s teacher. I especially enjoy receiving photos and videos throughout my day of the all the fun, field trips and learning my daughter is doing. I makes me feel great to pick up my child with a smile on her face and she excited to share with me the things she is learning everyday.

Well, where could I start?! This is a top notch school with excellent staff and leadership. Their passion and dedication to the students go above and beyond words. In spite of the challenges that this year has brought for many, Courthouse Academy has amazingly managed to keep its doors open and the students safe. I would not imagine a better place for my kids to go! As a Hispanic immigrant, I wanted my kids to be bilingual as their parents, and Courthouse has done a much better job of what we could do at home. If you want your children to experience a loving, yet academically challenging, environment, this is the place to go!

Courthouse Academy has been wonderful for our children! Both of our kiddos attended Courthouse for the preschool years and then we moved on to public schools when they were old enough. When Covid hit and the schools went virtual, Courthouse Academy welcomed us back with open arms and treated our children as if they had never left. My son and daughter are getting a good education from caring people. We are very happy we discovered Courthouse Academy!

Lightbridge Academy in Virginia Beach was so amazing, not only to my son, but to my family. As soon as you walk in the door, you are always greeted with smiles from everyone in the front office. It feels good to start your child's day (and also your own!) that way! My son started at Lightbridge at 10 weeks old. Of course as a new mom, I was scared to be leaving my baby with someone else, but when we found Lightbridge, it just felt right. i knew my son would be safe and well cared for. Throughout his three years there, we watched my son develop an amazing vocabulary, a love for learning and books, and flourish socially. We had peace of mind with the cameras in the rooms and we always received a full report, with picture, of what my child experienced each day. We loved to be included in what he was learning during his day at school so that we could share that experience and continue learning at home. Communication was great and we always felt like we had open communication with his teachers and the administrative staff. We only left Lightbridge due to a change in job location and it was one of the hardest decisions I ever made to switch my son to a school closer to our home and work. We loved it so much! I can't thank Lightbridge teachers and administrative staff enough for being such a big part of my son's life. I will forever be grateful for his experience there.

Lightbridge has been a blessing to our family. We had to find new care after moving and are 100% satisfied. We couldn't have asked for better care for our kids. I have one child who has graduated from the pre-k program and one child who started in toddler care and is now about to start pre-k. The teachers are amazing and give the kids lots of attention; it's more than just a day care. My kids always come home having learned something new that day! The owners and director have also been very supportive and helpful. They are very open with communication and love the kids. My kids LOVE stopping in the office on our way out each day to give hugs and say bye. I can't recommend LBA enough, we've have had great experiences over the last 3 years.

Our son is so happy here! The teachers and staff are all so wonderful, caring, and professional. We plan to enroll our daughter soon as well. Could not recommend this place more highly to every parent.
