“We’ve had a wonderful experience with Bright Start Daycare. The staff is incredibly friendly and genuinely cares about the children. They offer a diverse range of activities that keep my daughter engaged and learning. One of the highlights is their balanced menu, which ensures she gets nutritious meals every day. I also really appreciate the amount of outside time she gets. I highly recommend Bright Start to any parent looking for a nurturing and stimulating environment for their child.”

“Our son attended the toddler program here for 6 months and we were so pleased with the care the school provided to him! He started attending here at 14 months old and we saw large improvements in his development, speech and social skills. The teachers, staff and managers are all very welcoming and caring. We dropped our son off everyday feeling good about his safety, the care, and the education he was being given. We were sad to have to leave the school, but are moving out of the area and thus had to part ways. Highly recommend this daycare!”

“We have been so happy with 4CCN since our son started attending in 2022. The leadership, teachers, and staff are caring and warm, and the community is wonderful. It’s not only one of the most affordable options in the area but in my opinion among the best quality too. Highly recommend.”

“My daughter absolutely loves this place and has learned so much since she started. I would suggest you check this school out if you are looking for an amazing learning space for your child ?”

“This daycare is absolutely amazing. The entire staff is dedicated to their craft on making sure our children has the best learning experience while nurturing them like their own. My daughter is so in love with this daycare that she can't wait until mornings to go see her friends. The staff embrace her each morning with love that I am proud to call this daycare home away from home. Don't mistake this awesome daycare facility with the terrible daycare in Oxon Hill where the teacher abuses the innocent children. No not that daycare. First Learning Stages Daycare rocks!!!”

“We had our son in pre-K here during the pandemic, and our daughter in the program Estrellitas started to enable kids to do remote learning with supervision. Our kids learned a ton of Spanish, and did art, games, walks in the woods, field trips, and playgrounds throughout the pandemic. Their staff is incredibly committed and hard-working, and showed up to help our kids throughout the pandemic when other people did not. I would recommend the program to anyone, and will definitely have my kids back for their summer program and school breaks.”

“We can’t say enough good things about Primrose at the Parks. The staff and all the teachers are caring, kind, and knowledgeable. Our daughter has moved up through the school since she was a young infant. In all of her classrooms, the teachers have provided an exceptional level of care. They make sure our daughter is loved and actively learning while we are at work. The staff is accessible and communicative. They listen to parents’ needs, answer questions, and are quickly responsive to concerns. Our daughter is excited to go to school. She is thriving. Her development has accelerated in the almost year we’ve been at Primrose. Finding great childcare is one of the most difficult and important decisions parents have to make. We would choose Primrose at the Parks over and over again.Edit June 27 2023: We're still very happy with the care our child receives, but we do have one gripe to convey. Resolving payment conflicts is unnecessarily difficult. The school was closed for a week last winter (Dec 2022), and it was not initially announced as part of the school year. We had to arrange alternate care on relatively short notice, and we were not pro-rated for that week. Additionally, our child moved to a larger class (more students per teacher) recently, which decreases the monthly fee. However, this occurred mid-month, and it was again not automatically pro-rated.”

“I love this place. The teachers are very nice, and the director. They took my child in, when he was 3years old, and now he is 7 years old. They teach my child the different between right and wrong. They’re doing great things with kids during summer(field trip, BBQ, pool etc….),I really appreciate it what you are doing….”

“The Goddard School in Silver Spring is a phenomenal school and community of teachers, students and families. My child has been at this school since he was six weeks old and he will be graduating from the kindergarten program this spring! I can do nothing but brag about how amazing this school is. I have made little books from all of the pictures I received through their parent app called tadpoles for each of the classes he has been in. As a parent I am blown away how it helped my five year old reach amazing educational heights as he is now a star reader on the first grade level, and in the 99th percentile in math for his age. The teachers here honestly care for your child, they strive for each of their students to glow and grow in each developmental stage. The administration here strive for excellence and really provide warmth, love and support as much as they can for everyone that attends this school. They are good, honest people whose goal is to provide a safe, warm and caring environment for every single child that attends and every prospective family that will ever walk through the doors. I tell my child that I would never let them go somewhere I do not think they would be safe or have fun. And I KNOW my child is all of those things when they are at the Goddard School in Silver Spring. From the daily reports to the daily interactions with teachers I would recommend this school to anyone looking for their child to thrive in a learning environment.”

“As parents, finding the perfect daycare for our first child was no easy task. Fortunately, our search led us to University for Kids. The teachers' genuine kindness and warmth embraced our son from the start, creating a safe and loving environment where he has thrived. The seamless updates through Brightwheel have kept us connected throughout the day, providing real-time insights into his activities and milestones. Overall, our journey with University for Kids has been positive, thanks to the dedicated team's professionalism, care, and unwavering commitment to our son's happiness and development. We're grateful for the impact they've had.”

“I am very happy with Galway academy. The stuff are very nice and kind. My son loves to go to academy every day. I have see a lot of improvement since he is in school. Thank you Galway academy”

“A wonderful, caring and truly warm place with small classes where students get a lot of attention from staff, and loving, responsible teachers. Both JAFA and SSLC are gems!”

“NES has been such a wonderful school experience for our 3 year old. The teachers are professional, dedicated, and caring. The school communicates with parents constantly to provide updates and action photos during the day. Our son comes home every day and tells us of the wonderful activities he does, which we feel is paying huge dividends as far as his vocabulary and general development.”

“During the covid lockdown we lost access to our daycare and were scrambling to find a daycare that was open. A friend recommended curious critters and while we would have taken any port in that storm we have been very happy with the care our son has received here and continued sending him there even once things began to open up. My son genuinely loves his teachers and talks about them all the time at home. He is learning quite a bit and every day comes home with new vocabulary. And I really love that the staff here encourage development across the board, from eating with proper utensils to potty training, and they are happy to work with parents to help the kids succeed. On top of everything we can tell a ton of planning goes into their days there. Every week has a theme that carries over from the books they read and the projects they do to the food that is served for breakfast and lunch.”

“After searching for a good daycare to send our daughter to that will fit our schedule after the pandemic, we finally picked Tabernacle Learning Center (TLC). Oh yes, we read the reviews and for a moment we nearly crossed them out but decided to try them by ourselves and we are glad we did. Our daughter graduated in June this year and she is in kindergarten now. TLC is a Christian daycare. They teach the children about God. My daughter was able to pray and sing beautiful Christian songs by the time she graduated. Her teachers were phenomenal. Ms Mona, Ms Remi, Ms Tehillah and Ms Bridget were her favorites. She still cries to go and visit. TLC really prepared our daughter for kindergarten and she was able to read simple books by herself. Currently she is doing exceptionally well and her kindergarten teacher loves her too. You will not regret entrusting the care of your child to TLC”

“My children have been here for 4 years and they love it. If I come to pick them up early, they don't want to leave. Convenient location, friendly staff that give family vibes, secure, and affordable.”

“I have my three children in the center, two of them go to school and my son has been in since he was a baby, asking God to take care of him so that I don't go to the wrong place. He arrived in the hands of a super sweet and charming teacher who, thank God, is in her third classroom. They are so kind and affectionate that my son loves Mrs. Angel, always available when help is needed. Very good director. Thank you very much KinderCare for all the good things. ??”

“I finally found this place again! I used to go here years ago from the age of 3 or 4 to 8. It was an amazing daycare, there was always so much to do and they always had fantastic day trips to the pool, skate rink, and bowling. My sister also stayed here when she was growing up. We both have great memories from here and made so many friends. If you're looking for a good place to leave your kid for after school care or summer camp then this is it. All wonderful memories for us.”

“Both of my sons attended FELC starting in 2020. My older son has returned for the last 2 summers since graduating from FELC. Ms. Millis has become an extension of our family over the last 3 1/2 years. She taught my boys so much regarding preschool and kindergarten curriculum and spiritually. Your child will be in great hands with Ms. Millis and will be beyond prepared for kindergarten upon graduation from her program.”

“My son has been attending Divinity Child Development Center for a little over four years. Ms. Annie and Ms. Jailyn are both professional and patient. They go above and beyond for the children that’s in their care. My son has special needs, I appreciate they don’t treat him any differently, they involve him in the day-to-day activities along with the other children. I am very particular about who I allow to watch my son, I trust Ms. Annie and Ms. Jailyn 100%. They give me daily feedback on my son progress. Overall, I am very pleased with the care and love that my son receives.”

“My daughter has been at this daycare for a little over a year. As a a teacher and educator myself, I am very happy with the care and education my daughter is receiving at Little Miracles. We are so lucky to have found Ms. Carla. As a new mom and coming out of the pandemic, I was more than anxious to send my little one to a daycare. Little Miracles has been wonderful for my daughter and for our family.When we were first looking for daycare centers, we were struggling to find a center that we could afford and one that had room. Within an hour of contacting Ms. Carla that first summer, we were able to hear back from her and schedule an appointment to see the facility. At the time, we needed to tour while there were no kids there (of course due to the pandemic), but we were so thrilled by how our daughter took to Ms. Carla.When our daughter started, Ms. Carla assured us that our little one was happy and cared for by sending picture updates and all the fun little crafts home. She was active, learning, and playing. Our little pandemic baby was so fulfilled.The curriculum is rigorous and keeps our little one always coming home with new things she has learned. For a day care, the learning is age appropriate and challenging. Along with all the crafts, ABCs, counting, now days of the week and months have been taught to my daughter (she astounds me every week by the new things she is learning) - Ms. Carla is the one who potty trained my baby and helped us follow the routine at home. Without her, I have no idea how I would have done it. Seriously, she knows kids and she is the professional.Ms. Carla has been steadfast with her Covid protocols and this has helped her daycare stay safe and clean for all kids. The center is much smaller than other comparable centers which is best for our daughter. Ms. Carla and her team is attentive, caring, and treats all kids like her own.As a family, we deeply appreciate her service, her love towards our little butterfly, and her guidance and grace for us as new parents to support us in this journey together.”

“Wonderful place with happy and caring staff. Federal Building Security and their staff makes you feel safe.The premises have a beautiful architecture, that makes you feel you are inside a toy blocks house, full of colors and kids art and drawings.”

“I love that I can log in & see my baby at any time. I love how much you all do with her all day long & how much she learns from her teachers! I love how all of the teachers & staff, even outside of her classroom all seem to know & love her!”

“Rainbow Child is a blessing to my family. They are very neat, good teachers, and they are always there for the family. I really love my experience and it is really worth the money.”

“my family‘s been using Rising Generations since 2016 with my first daughter and we started when she was two and she stayed until graduation and it was an amazing experience. So much so, that we enrolled our second daughter who will be graduating in a couple of years. What I can say is Rising has always been consistent they follow all the school district mandates, in the most impressive was how they handled COVID-19. I was an emergency staff member who needed to stay on site throughout the entire pandemic and Rising was able to accommodate my families schedule without any service interruption . The level of precaution that they took and now still take to ensure all the students health and safety is bar none. All the staff are super friendly and the owners are some of the nicest people ever. They’re willing to work with you and make special accommodations whenever they can and I will always recommend this location. Thanks so much for everything Rising!”
