FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WUSA)-- Falls Church-McLean Children's Center has an average waitlist of two years. It may sound like a place for those who can pay full tuition for their two to five year olds, but actually it's much more than that.
"My daughter learned how to play with friends,...more how to help friends, and she learned academic things too," says Susana Coro, a parent and teacher at the Center.
Coro says the Center gives her daughter, Yadira, the ideal environment to get ready for school, especially when her family could not pay the full tuition, $1,400 dollars a month.
Elizabeth Page, executive director, says the Center reserves over half of its enrollment to serving youngsters who qualify for subsidized tuition from Fairfax County.
"They're working but they cannot afford the high cost of child care and this is the only assistance most of our families get," Page says.
"It can be as little as five dollars a week up to 100 dollars a

Their teachers created an exercise trail at the McLean, Va. school with Quick Response Codes (QR...more codes).
"It's a thing that you can scan that can take you to a website or a video or pictures or something," explained sixth grader Zeeshan Khaliq.
Students scan QR codes with a smart phone or iPad and up pops an instructional video for each station.
Physical education teacher Jay Levesque is the star. "I like it because Mr. Levesque is funny in most of them, and when pops out of the tree is the best one," said Zeeshan Khaliq.

"We had to slow it down. We didn't have the endurance to keep pushing it. We took time off the clock and possessed the ball," said Cathedral coach Lindsey Whelan about her coaching adjustment.

Usually recognized by the brand names “Crestor” and “Lipitor,” statins are...more multi-billion dollar industry, with millions of new prescriptions filled each week.
“Looking at the rate of new prescriptions, one might think that we’ve finally identified a drug that can successfully prevent heart disease,” says Dr. Gary Kaplan, founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine. Statins are being widely prescribed to patients who have higher than normal cholesterol levels – in hopes of reducing their risk of developing heart disease. “But unfortunately,” Dr. Kaplan explains, “the medical research to date indicates that statins have very limited usefulness in reducing cardiac risk unless the patient already has a personal history of heart
