Bottom line: both our children have been at the Young School all the way until kindergarten, and we…read moreare grateful for their time there. This is a tricky review to write, because one needs to grade on a curve when evaluating childcare in our screwed up educational system. There have been periods of time where the Young School was a frustrating mess, mostly due to issues with staff retention. But... I've done the math and even though it feels like we're bleeding money with their tuition, I'm shocked that they're able to retain anyone for any length of time at all. Their margins must be razor thin. Childcare is just a necessarily expensive service, given the complete lack of subsidies for it. This must make retention an intractable, permanent issue. As we approach the end of our pre-kindergarten run, the most important things stand out: our kids have loved their teachers. They've learned a ton there. They formed potentially lifelong friendships with the other wonderful kiddos. My wife and I have formed friendships with the other parents. We have had lots of quibbles with the school over the years, but in the end, we're grateful for them.

We have been at ease and very happy with the Young School ever since our daughter started there at…read moreonly 9 weeks old. And as she has transitioned to other classrooms as she grows, it has been an easy process. From meetings with the parents, to introduction of new classroom, activities, change of routines (crib to cot or away from bottle to cup, for example) to the kids; the school has made it seamless. I appreciate that even the heads of the school know my child and us, the parents, by name. I appreciate the transparency, that even with a tiny bump or fall we are notified. And I cannot say enough about the updates through the day! It makes it even better knowing all our girl is doing - when and what she ate, diaper changes, sleeping times and, best of all, pictures. Our daughter loves her teachers and we love to know she is in such a nurturing environment.

The staff and student teachers genuinely care about the children and their learning. They work hard to bring in outside speakers and programs and our favorite extra curricular is the spring pajama party! In the past 2 years I have seen my anxious 3 year old who SCREAMED when she was dropped off turn into this amazing 5 year old who loves every second she gets to spend in the classroom. We so appreciate all that the Carroll Community Child Development Center has done for and with our child over the past 2 school years! I'm not sure how this time flew by so fast, but it did! Our child has nothing but amazing stories of her school days and we so appreciate each and every person who played a role in preparing her for kindergarten.

The Littlest Learners Child Development Center at Carroll Community College is dedicated to providing an intellectually stimulating environment that engages the children we serve. Our philosophy is one that supports each child's emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development while at our Center. We strive to teach the importance of exploration as well as the importance of play as a means to integrate math, science, language, literacy, music, art, and essential motor activities. Emphasis is placed on each child's individual learning style by an active, hands-on process that aids in the development of problem-solving and thinking skills. The Center follows the same Pre-kindergarten MSDE-accredited curriculum set forth by the state of Maryland. In addition, other theories/curriculum enhance the program. Students who complete the program are ready for kindergarten. The Center exceeds the state recommended child-to-teacher-ratio.
