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!

As he will be graduating this year, it very bittersweat for us. Whenever, he would talk about school he keeps telling me that he doesn't want to leave Busybees and will miss his teachers and friends. This daycare has given my son home outside of home and has given my family the best thing - the thought that you kid is in good hands while you are away. 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!

What we love about this school is that they offer a 5 day/week program with an aftercare "lunch bunch" option. (They also have a 2, 3, or 4 day per/week option). So, my son has school from 9:30 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. Monday-Friday. I don't think that any other co-op in Rockville has this much schooling for the 3's age group. Another great thing about this preschool is that they have the option to BUY OUT of the co-oping duties! This year is especially busy for my family because we also have an 8 month old baby and we are very limited on time. (I love this school's flexibility!!) RCNS' location is beautiful. It is surrounded by wonderful green space and a fun playground! My son enjoys playing there with his friends when his aftercare is finished. (During this time, I enjoy socializing with the other parents!) In all, I would highly recommend this preschool for parents looking for a co-op with a more flexible schooling option! We are so happy that we decided to come here!

New Day Preschool is a small school but it has fantastic teachers! A big concern I had after…read moremoving here from Chicago was how competitive it is to be in the Wootton high school district. But the Pre-K teacher has not only made school fun, but really prepared my son for kindergarten. The 2 year old and 3 year old teachers are so patient and caring! They have curbside drop off and pick up, it's SO convenient not having to take my baby out of the car twice a day especially when it's cold outside! They have Chapel with the Pastor twice a month, where they learn Bible stories, sing worship songs, and donate money to buy mosquito nets for children in Africa. The tuition is really reasonable compared to many other preschools in this area. I'm excited to send all of my kids here!

This place was perfect and I mean perfect before the new director arrived in 2018. I would've given…read moreit 5.5 stars back then. As of 2020, I found the director rude and wondered why she's even working in this industry. Many good teachers that we grew to love, quit soon after she was hired and a couple of them told us why. Her new hires (teachers/contractors) in my opinion weren't as high quality as the others and we saw/experienced too many incidents that we could not tolerate for our children. We demand respect and a caring and safe environment for our children. It felt like the regional head did the bare minimum for us. I wish people working in this industry had a better moral compass.

Outstanding daycare center. My daughter has been at this center since it opened in 2015, and was…read moreat their previous location since she was 4 months old. They moved from Fishers Lane into a newly renovated building on Twinbrook in the summer of 2015. The center is beautiful with an art area and an indoor "movement matters" zone, and a natural outdoor play area with a mud kitchen for unstructured play for the older kids. The center provides care from 3 months until they are ready to go off to kindergarten. It is NAEYC certified, and provides lots of enrichment for the kids. It sometimes makes me sad that my daughter spends more time with her teachers than with me (at least, more hours awake) but they fill her day with so many activities that I don't think I would be able to manage at home. Great, responsive, caring staff in a bright, clean, and safe environment. We get pictures every day of what she was doing. I believe this is one of the best daycare centers in the area.

The Environment: Every staff member from the front desk, teachers, and administration was so welcoming! As a result, our oldest child attended Whole Kids Academy from Infancy through Pre-K. Additionally, our youngest attended from infancy through Early Preschool. Both of my boys have always felt loved and adored! It seemed that every teacher knew our kids' names, even if my husband and I didn't know them. Any time occasional concerns arose, the administration handled them promptly! Every staff member is eager to support, listen, learn, and educate! The Curriculum: Wow! From the infant room to Pre-k, WKA truly fosters an environment where children develop a love for learning!! I have pictures of my 3-month-old painting with corn during Autumn, exploring textures by painting on bubble wrap, enjoying music class, engaging in circle time, and learning about the outdoor environment through daily walks...and that was just the beginning! Recent Pre-K lessons included meteorology, biographies, and space, just to name a few! Each day, the lesson plan is intentionally crafted to develop each learning domain! Both of my boys are such curious learners, and people are genuinely impressed by their knowledge base. Our oldest just started kindergarten, and he's extremely ahead in all subjects. We absolutely love WKA and were sad to leave due to a cross-country move. If you're looking for a nurturing environment for your kids to fall in love with learning, WKA is the place!

Winchester has been a godsend for my son and truly a hidden gem. He's grown up here at Winchester,…read moreand all of his teachers have provided a perfect blend of flexibility and challenge to help him grow. Incredibly accommodating while always believing and reminding him (and us!) that he can work at and try new things even if they seem intimidating at first. They've taken the time to know and understand him, and know when to push and when to just let him do his own thing if that's what helps him. Love the small class size and the fact that most of its teachers have been there for over a decade and are clearly committed to the school and its students. It's also a family-owned business whose owners are actively involved and clearly doing the work they do because they care about children and their families, not to try maximize profits. Prices are very reasonable compared to many of the other schools in the area that charge way more, and with much more affordable aftercare and summer care options that we need as working parents. This school is definitely worth a second look, especially if your kid needs flexibility and some extra attention.

What's incredible is that so many of the same teachers and staff are still here! It really shows how much they love what they do and how strong the community is.

It makes things easier for families and feels very thoughtful as a way to ensure everyone has access to quality early childhood education. For anyone in the Silver Spring or Aspen Hill area looking for a school that truly feels like home, Winchester is a wonderful place to be.
