I give my highest and most heartfelt recommendation to the Family Academy of Bethesda. My son has…read morebeen here since he was just three months old and stayed until almost three years old, when unfortunately we had to move away due to work relocation. If it weren't for that, we would have loved for him to stay here as long as possible. It's hard to put into words how incredible this place has been for our family. From the days when he could barely lift his head, to learning to walk, talk, sing, and share stories about his day, we've watched him grow into a happy, curious, and confident little boy--all thanks to the loving care and nurturing environment of Family Academy. He not only learned language and knowledge, but also good manners and a true love of learning.The teachers are absolutely amazing--kind, patient, and so easy to communicate with. My son is a slow and picky eater, yet they always gave him extra time and gentle encouragement. They care for each child as if they were their own. The administration team is just as wonderful; they know every child by name and engage with them warmly every single day.What makes Family Academy so special is not only the quality of education but the genuine love and attention they give to every child. The environment encourages exploration, creativity, and curiosity about everything in the world. I could see every day how happy my son was here.I am deeply grateful for everything the Family Academy has given to our son and to our family. This school is truly a treasure in the community, and I would recommend it wholeheartedly to any parent.

So much love for the Family Academy. Our son attended here for years, starting from the time he was…read more6 months old. Each classroom was led by caring, creative teachers. Under the center's care, my son truly blossomed. Well before we expected, he was singing songs to us, identifying letters, counting, and more. And most indicative of this center's awesomeness--my son was always so happy to go to school. It also meant a lot to me that the staff and teachers made genuine, impactful efforts to include our family's culture alongside mainstream culture, for example welcoming us to send in books about our holidays, directly engage the class in activities, and share ideas for the teachers to use. Would recommend Family Academy to anyone!!

I enrolled my son at this daycare when he was four months old, and he is now 21 months old…read more Enrolling him at this daycare has been an amazing experience. Being a new mom, and trusting someone else to take care of my child while I was at work was very hard. However, Mrs. Champa and Mr. Yousafzai ensured me that my son was in great hands and made the transition a lot easier. They provide updates of my son through out the day, as well as send photos of him so that I can ensure that he is doing ok. They also plan really fun activities and parties for the children for the holidays which I love. My son is always happy when we drop him off and pick him up. I would highly recommend Frontiers Family Childcare if you are looking for a place that "feels like home" for your child.

The staff are kind, professional, and made our son's transition at 18 months so smooth. Even after an unforeseen leave, they welcomed us back with warmth and compassion.

I was in DC for a 2-day work trip with full-day meetings and needed someone who could come to my…read morehotel so I could continue exclusively breastfeeding my 8-month-old between sessions. Honestly, it's really hard to trust a service like this with your baby, especially in a city away from home. I had a few things in place so I could keep an eye on my daughter throughout the day, and because of that, I know she was genuinely well cared for. Alison from The Educated Babysitter was great. She arrived on time, took my daughter on walks outside, changed diapers, and kept her happy and comfortable throughout the day. By the second day, even the hotel staff knew my baby and would stop to say hi. The only reason I'm taking the time to write this review is because I know there are other moms in similar situations trying to balance work travel and motherhood, and trusted childcare like this can make all the difference.

The curriculum is well thought out and provides a balanced approach to both initial introduction to…read morematerial (knowledge) as well as the application of the material (demonstration). We love the daily reports! The security protocols provide an effective defense-in-depth strategy that I think adds significant peace of mind. The children are safe, secure and well taught. Discipline is effective and consistent with a focus on positive reinforcement and good decision making. Accidents/incidents are communicated rapidly and the staff are very attentive to the health and well being of our children. The facility is clean and sanitized with the attention of detail that has resulted in the best environment for our children. The food options are excellent and provide a balanced meal to keep our little ones fed and nourished. Issues or concerns that were communicated by myself to the staff were respectfully discussed and addressed in a timely manner. The events and activities that are sponsored by the academy are great team building opportunities for the parents and staff. Additionally, they provide a strong foundational marker for the children to observe the parents being a part of their educational journey. Highly recommended!

It is clear that the teachers love the kids so much, and are so caring and attentive. Our oldest is now in kindergarten and TCCC was a huge part of setting him up to thrive. By the end of his last year he was doing math worksheets and writing short sentences, and that was all due to TCCC. Every day has new lessons and activities and art projects, and we are always surprised at how much they learn. I'm so glad we found TCCC and highly recommend it to everyone!

The center does a good job with Covid protocols and keeping us updated daily with pictures. The bi-annual parent-teacher conference is also much appreciated. Our son comes home with something new every week, whether it be a new song or reciting the entire solar system. Our family and I would like to shout out a big thank you to Ms Tochi and the center for doing a great job. Even 2 weeks after we move and had to switch our son to another daycare, he still says that he really misses Ms. Tochi's class.

*Broschart/ShadyGrove location*…read more My son has been with the center since he was an infant and we truly appreciate the love he endures each and everyday. As an added bonus, meals/snacks are included, daily updates (with pictures), payments are done online, and minor issues are addressed immediately. My son has allergies and enzyme and the center has gone over and beyond to accommodate him. Your child will be in great hands at Nanda Learning Center. Each child is treated like family. Thank you to Mr. Mohammad and his amazing staff (especially Ms. Aliyah) for their exceptional service and the comfort you provide to us.

Since switching my daughter to Kidstop Child Development Center in 2023, I couldn't be happier with…read morethe change. From the moment we walked in, the environment alone gave me peace of mind, it's warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for children to thrive. My daughter is now 4 years old, and I've watched her mind expand in incredible ways. The growth I've seen in her has been amazing, she's become more independent, intellectually curious, and confident every single day. The staff at Kidstop are incredibly attentive. The way they care for the children is unlike anything I've experienced before. I also love knowing that while I'm at work, my daughter is eating healthy, balanced meals and staying active. The center does a wonderful job planning family events, which really makes it feel like a community. Brandy, the director, is exceptional! She truly embodies the phrase "it takes a village." She supports both the children and the parents, and her presence makes such a positive difference.Parent-teacher meetings are another highlight. I always look forward to hearing how my daughter is doing, what she's excelling at, and where she can improve. The feedback is so thoughtful and helpful.The positive changes I've seen in my daughter since enrolling at Kidstop have been nothing short of inspiring. I learn new things from her all the time, and I'm so proud of how she's growing. I'll genuinely be sad when the day comes that she outgrows the center because as a parent, there's no better feeling than having total peace of mind when you drop your child off each day. Kidstop has been a blessing for our family.

First off, when I called Kids Stop the lady named Angel's personality sold me to come in for a…read moretour. She was informative and knew her stuff. Did not feel like she was reading something off of a sheet of paper. My tour today (May 25th, 2017 1:30pm) with Sylvia was perfect! She was 1.Friendly and kind 2. Knew all the answers to all my questions 3.Empathic since she has 5 kids of her own (She does not look like she has 5 kids) But the Child center was great for all these reasons. 1.Welcoming and colorful. (This was my 5th daycare tour in Rockville/Gaithersburg 2.Kids were all happy when I came in for a tour. 3.They have a huge play ground area 4.They offer classes like cooking for an additional small fee. 5.They give 10% off discounts to a list of companies. 6.Teacher student ratio is 1 to 10 kids. AMAZING! 7.It didn't smell like a dirty diaper when I walked in. 8.Security window and door. Love it! The pricing is a little on the higher end of my budget honestly but you get what you pay for. At least you know your child will be in good hands. I am have this on my top two and will make a choice soon. I'm waiting on a job offer letter that will determine which daycare my 3 year old will go to. And if I get it? I'm bringing my kid in here.

My daughter started here part time at 3 years old after being watched by her grandma most of her…read morelife. Within months, she asked if she could please go to school full time! The teachers are incredible and loving. The kids are being taught to be kind and inclusive. There is rarely a dull moment for the kids at busy bees - at pickup my kid often asks me to please come back a little later! They have ballet, Zumba, karate, yoga, Spanish class, music class. Fridays are special pizza days, and they get to do show and tell. Right now, they're taking care of caterpillars, and we have to peak in the planter every morning to see if their flowers have started to grow yet. There's also a monthly Parent's Night Out where your kids will get dinner, snacks, playtime, and a movie while you get a date night. My son is also in the infants room. The teachers are so kind and loving to him. He has rarely ever cried at drop off and I get constant updates with pictures and videos in the app. They're always on the move with reading, playtime, drawing, outside time, snack time. Each kid is met where they're at and are still involved in the activities - from kids who can't sit yet to early walkers. I love walking down the stairs towards his room and I can hear him and his teacher having full blown 'conversations' before pickup. We are thrilled with Busy Bee's and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality daycare!

The way they treat children, the way they approach their education, health is top notch. They have sooo many great activities, they are so dilligent and caring. If you want to have the best for your child, you should definitely check out this daycare!

The teachers are amazing, informative and extremely loving and caring. They loved all the kids and treated them as their own. Mrs Anitha, extremely soft spoken yet its commendable how she handles all the kids. My kids still miss her and her school and often want to revisit the school. Their communication is fabulous and are always there to help with any questions you may have. My daughter, who started preschool only after covid times ended, fits perfectly in the kindergarten environment and can read very well( thanks to the amazing way the preschool teachers taught). It has an excellent teaching curriculum and the everyday activities done at the school are totally in line with the MCPS. They'll create great memories participating in Winter/Spring concerts, going to pumpkin farms, swimming pools together. Also I highly recommend the summer program and its weekly themes. I didn't have to think of booking summer camps for them. They were kept busy till evening. Best choice ever!
