All parents worry, they only seek the best for their little ones. My daughter and I toured a few…read morecenters together when she was roughly months old. I felt like Goldilocks, one was just too big, too full of kids and not enough oversite; one was too small, and The Children in the Shoe in Olney... Well that one was just right. Within mins. of starting our tour, my sweet little girl was fast asleep in her carrier. We had found her home away from home. She began in the infant room and has been happy transitioning through her development phases. Now my daughter is in the 3's classroom and I am just as happy with the Shoe as I was during our tour. The teachers have been amazing, transparent, and loving. They communicate, are informative and best of all responsive. The directors to everyone who attends the front desk, each and every one of them are welcoming every single day, how is that humanly possible?! When you step inside, it's a small community. It is very common to find parents, teachers, children, and staff greeting each other, and having short quick conversations. During one of the many conversations that I had with my daughters 2's teachers, they mentioned that her speech was delayed. I loved that the teacher shared her concern and didn't hold it for a more formal parent / teacher conference. Since then, the teachers and staff have been extremely accommodating in welcoming her speech therapist into the classroom on a regular basis. It is home away from home! My little one has had her fair share of bumps and bruises, I know that with every bump, scrape and bruise she gets, she receives twice as many hugs and cuddles. At the end of day, during pick up the teachers make it a point to actually see the parents, talk to the parents and work daily to create a positive connection with the patents. If they are willing to do that after a day of teaching and loving their students - they must be super heroes. I know after a long at work, all I want to do is go home and relax.

I can not speak highly enough about my experience at Children in the Shoe. It has been my…read morechildren's home away from home for the past 7 years (daughter went from 3 months until 5) (son 2 months to current at 2) . the care they receive there matches what I would provide at home. i went to visit a lot of centers because I thought no one would care for my children like I would. I wanted to be a stay at home mom. Until I met Stephanie! she put me at ease from the get go and out with with all of my nerves from day one and with each classroom change until my daughter graduated. She was even there for me when my mother passed away. the shoe is a family that i am happy to be a part of and I hope it continues for years to come. I have two very happy well adjusted kids and their daycare plays a roll in that. Each teacher seems happy to be there and really loves each child and you can see that just by walking around. I wouldn't want my kids anywhere else. We love the shoe!

We absolutely love LCYC!…read more My son started in the Two's program and is now in the Three's classroom, and we've had such a wonderful experience every step of the way. The staff is incredible--many even have their own children enrolled or previously enrolled, which really shows how much they believe in the program. LCYC truly feels like a community of parents and teachers working together to help the kids learn and grow. The smaller class sizes make such a difference and really allow for personalized attention. My son has become so much more independent, and he's thriving academically and socially. It's been amazing watching the relationships he's built with both the staff and the other children. We couldn't be happier, and I highly recommend LCYC to any parent looking for a nurturing, high-quality early learning environment.

It's important for me to know that my son isn't just another number on their roster. My son has really enjoyed LcYC the last two years and we are very happy with the program and curriculum. Next year my Daughter will be attending as well and u can't wait for her to learn and grow with the great teachers and staff that LCYc has. The new director Mrs Rana has also done a lot of great things with the school and I know from other parents comments that they are very happy with the new direction the school is taking with her in charge.

We have found all the teachers and staff to be caring and warm people who truly care for our children. This is a very diverse, inclusive, and welcoming environment and we have watched our children grow and excel here over the last few years. We have noticed that many other families have also been going to Childtime for years and have been sending multiple children here as well - I think this says a lot about this daycare and how great it is. We highly recommend Childtime!

Management has been very good about communication and the teachers provide updates daily via the Procare app. From what I can tell, they keep the classrooms very clean and organized. There are lots of hands on activities, story time, discovery times, local field trips, and outdoor events (weather permitting). Our daughter is an only child, but she has really warmed up to her classmates, and teachers. Like any early school /daycare we've had a few incidents, it happens, but again the teachers and management were always quick to send out notices, reach out to us, and provide updates. All in all we've overall been very happy with our experiences at Georgetown Hill Apple Ridge and hope to keep our daughter there until Kindergarten.

We've seen first hand how this location gets more efficient, fun and educational year over year. My four kids started with infants, grew through toddlers, twos and threes and my school age kids spent summer session last year on campus. The schools togetherness is due to Kiona, Emily and Rachel's leadership. They care about the teachers, and all staff care about your kiddos and family. They have top notch communication with parents and meet us where we are at in our busy variables lives. There've been numerous examples of above and beyond moments through the years. This is a gem of an early school! From Mr. Michael greeting us every morning with a smile to The class teachers: Ms. Alicia, Ms. Amber, Ms. Marisa, Ms. Angie, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Candice, Ms. Francis, Ms. Denisha, Ms. Gabby the music instructor - and all the teachers in between we are so grateful to send our kids to a loving fun place every day.

Now my younger son goes there and my oldest has moved into the older classes at the Kensington location. We expect to keep both there until they start kindergarten since they have pre-K. We have absolutely nothing but the best things to say about them. Everyone is extremely loving with the kids. I know they are getting the best care and my oldest is completely bilingual as he has grown up learning Spanish and English from his teachers. Both kids love going (the baby does a little dance in his car seat when we arrive). I feel very confident not only in their excellent care but also that their level of teaching is top notch as I "catch" my oldest knowing all kinds of things we haven't taught him. :)

The staff is wonderful and has worked so hard to make the school and the programs better and better with each passing year. They are kind and clear and I've come to really enjoy seeing their smiling faces in the morning. The teachers my two sons have had have all been amazing, unique and passionate and when my children are with them, my mind is at ease. My older son - who has recently rejoined the school for "Summer Camp" with some of his buddies - did the kindergarten program last year as a Farmer with Mr. Juan and he went into his current school so well prepared in both reading and math that he was able to focus on the other huge changes that come with switching schools. I feel so lucky that my children have been able to start their educational journeys at this amazing place. Thank you!

My family has had a fantastic experience with Goddard Rockville's infant daycare (4 months in)…read more There are many days when I walk into the infant room and my little guy is belly laughing with the teachers. I love Goddard's use of the Tadpoles app where I get daily pictures and updates about sleep and activities like the babies going for a ride outside in the buggy, playing with bubbles, reading circle etc. I couldn't imagine better teachers, there are two for the six infants and there's a shift change midday. They're all extremely capable and work a lot to help develop motor skills (i.e. encourage tummy time, sitting, crawling). They care so much about the babies and clearly love their job. It's such a relief to have a safe and loving place to drop our guy off at everyday! Great care is expensive, but it's worth it for my family.

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!
