My son attended PACCP from 2 years to 6 years old, he left the Pre K program knowing how to read above Kindergarten level, count by 5's and 10' s and to 10 in Spanish, the basics of addition and subtraction. I was really impressed when he came home singing a song about the various parts of his brain. His class grew flowers from seeds, raised butterflies from chrysalis, and during the holidays presented a choral performance to the parents along side the elementary children. I greatly appreciated the fact that he was given so many unique learning opportunities above and beyond the daily care and play that is expected. He made many wonderful friends and best of all he was in a very nurturing and loving environment. I have seen the director take special interest in each individual child and work along side the lead teachers to create a stimulating and safe environment for young learners. I have always found the staff, assistants as well as lead teachers, to provide exceptional quality care to all students. Once my youngest child was old enough to attend preschool, I immeadiately enrolled her in hopes that she may reep the benefits of the same wonderful experiences. Thanks to the kind and nurturing actions of the staff, she has made an easy adjustment and absolutely loves coming to PACCP. Her favorite part of the day is playing with others on the outside playgound and I love the fact that she gets so much physical outdoor activity. The center has an extremely well rounded program from arts and music to reading and science - all of the lessons and activities are very age apropriate. I have many times and will continue to recommended PACCP to friends and strangers. The PACCP program is one of the best in Richmond.
Pros: Great people and fun atmosphere for kids.
Cons: Smaller building with less modern facilites
