My son attended childway college park from 8months to 5 years old!…read more We love this place. We started with Ms Bushra as director. Once Ms. Sahshi came on board, things went to an even better place. She is such a great director. My son loved his teachers: Ms. Fereshteh and Ms. Erica. There's another teacher he absolutely adores, but I forgot her name. I watch them clean the toys daily. They take the kids out and they get plenty of exercise. The teachers really treat the kids like their own. It's a personal experience. I've also had parties their and the school is very accommodating. All the teachers really teach the kids. My son was so far advanced when he entered Pre-K because of his teachers at Childway.

Childway also offers a summer camp/daycare program for older kids, which I plan to use once my kids start school.

My family is deeply disappointed with this daycare, its owners and staff. My son joined in…read moreSeptember 2025 and clearly it was a bad choice because we have had no peace since he joined. My son was at a previous childcare facility and we had to move him to this one for logistics reasons. However, he seemed to have a hard time settling into this daycare and the "owner" made it her personal responsibility to call me every single day to tell me how badly my child was behaving. we agreed to meet once about three weeks after he joned the center and we discussed ideas on how to help my son settle into the transition, i did everything i had to do and the school never reported back on what they had to do. We had a meeting scheduled for the following wednesday to discuss progress/concerns but instead the owner thought it was best to send me an email on saturday instead to tell me how she has decided to immediately terminate my son's enrollment, two months into the program. I'm sure everyone has a different experience but here is mine and i wont recommend this center to another family looking for childcare in the area.

Goddard Gambrills is more than just a childcare provider--it's family. The teachers there have…read moretruly been like aunties to my daughter. She started when she was just 2 years old, and as an only child, she has flourished in ways I never imagined within just one year. The facility is super clean. Cleanliness is so important for preschoolers, and Goddard takes it seriously. But it's not just the space that's clean--the staff are cheerful, professional, and genuinely happy. And happy caregivers mean happy children. If you're a parent who sometimes struggles with "mom guilt" like I do, you'll appreciate that Goddard provides a real breakfast. Not just a snack, but a hearty morning meal. It takes the pressure off when mornings don't go as planned and you missed breakfast that morning. Goddard is not a daycare--it's a preschool. I didn't fully understand the difference until my daughter started here. The teachers are amazing, the leadership team is respectful and professional, and the owner is warm, approachable, and lovely to speak with. When I moved to the area, I toured more than a dozen childcare facilities, and while many were just "facilities," none came close to the level of care, professionalism, and joy at Goddard Gambrills.

We've sent both our boys to this Montessori school, and we really like it! The teachers are very…read morekind and gentle and serious about making sure the children are well-prepared for elementary school. But what really sets the school apart is a sense of community - it's a 50+ year old, single-classroom non-profit school which makes for a great environment for the kids to become friends, and the parents too. The school does a great job of providing opportunities for parents who want to be involved in their children's education, from light tasks like helping supervise special crafts sessions to larger commitments like serving as a board member. My older son really did not like the idea of school at the beginning of the school year, but as his academic and social skills improved, now every day is "the best day" and he loves showing us what he learned. It's been great seeing my kiddos blossom in their independence and also enjoy a sense of belonging at this preschool.

We wanted to like this school. But staff refused to acknowledge constant bullying by one of the…read morestaff's children. They gaslit my son into thinking that if he were more friendly and compassionate he would get along with a very manipulative and entitled student. They taught Montessori principles but when it came to one of their own children, they expected families to look the other way or "understand" the complexities. We thought the environment would be great for our rather shy son, but we were raklroaded by passive aggression. Also staff tends to talk to parents about other children... Very inappropriate. If you decide to send your child here, RUN at the first hint of these behaviors because it will only continue. My wife and I discussed these matters with staff, but they continued to ask what my son could have done to mitigate the bullying. We finally had enough and decided to leave. Our son is thriving in fourth grade and we feel supported by teachers who are not compromised by their own personal issues. ​

My infant son went to Goddard for 2+ months, which was too long. The quality of educators is poor…read more I don't believe they have any training. Communication is non-existent. They have an app called Tadpole, but yet the information entered is never correct. They are short-staffed every day and yet most teachers still leave at 4, so unless you can get out of work early to connect and discuss... you simply have no idea what is going on. Kids are constantly placed in rockers and chairs and are left there most of the day. The legal ratio of 3 kids to 1 teacher is rarely followed, in fact, I have seen as many as 10 kids to 2 teachers more times than I can count... We gave them sleep sacks for him to nap in each day, yet they just sat in his cubby. On more than one occasion he was left to sleep in a rocker as he was placed in a room that had no open cribs due to staff shortages... it's just not a good place to leave an infant. We started in January 2024 and there is not a single kid left in the class who was there when we started. To a child, they have all left and gone to other daycares... and now we are too. I wouldn't send my kid here if I were you. We are now 54 days past our last day and have still yet to receive our deposit back from the school. They claim its been mailed, but their by-laws state repayment will be made within 30-45 days and we are well past that... its a joke. Just find a different day care, this place is awful from the top to the bottom.

my son has been going to KinderCare in Bowie for over three years, and it's been great. my son has…read morebeen going there since he was an infant. This one of the few places that would accept him at that early age. The teachers there do it all! Prepare meals, supervise the children in the morning, do minor repairs, drive the bus to pick up / drop off students at local schools, etc. my son had some specific needs and each teacher and Director was more than accommodating. That took a large weight off my shoulders. I really like the photos sent to the private portal everyday. This way I can get an idea of what is happening during the day. We have photos that go back 3 years...love that. I've met just about every teacher there and I have no issues. if I have a question I can ask them in person or email them. emails do not get ignored....they are responded to quickly. The extra activities they have for the children are wonderful too. My son loves his teachers...all of them. Thank you all for doing what you do!

There's a lot of parent involvement, too, which gives you this instant community. There are play groups on the weekend once a month, and you have the opportunity to attend many fun family events. We highly recommend GLC!

It is a wonderful environment for children: nurturing, fun, and educational -- they did a great job of preparing my older son for kindergarten. It is also convenient for parents; they basically only close for federal holidays and follow the UMD status for snow days. It is a not for profit organization, with a board comprised of volunteer parents, which keeps tuition rates reasonable.
