Our son attended VDV from kindergarten to fifth grade. All of the teachers gave him and the other students the love and the attention needed to make their education experience outstanding. The curriculum was exactly what our son needed, and if there were any adjustments required, the faculty made the required adjustments. Me. Reavy and Mrs. Hayes (when she was there) both provided exemplary care and service for the entire school.

"At this point, nothing! It used to be perfect here. Now there are WAY too many people making it hard to park even with parking lots/garages. Housing prices are sky high making it nearly impossible for a single income person like myself to find a decent apartment to rent. Forget about ever being able to buy a home here. I love living here but I will eventually be priced out and will have to move somewhere less desirable but more affordable. "
