If you're looking for a school where academics and sports collide in a whirlwind of hilarious…read morechaos, look no further than Charles Herbert Flowers High School. Nestled in the heart of Springdale, MD, this school is like a sitcom where the nerds and jocks are in a constant battle for the spotlight, and somehow, everyone comes out on top. Academic Adventures: At Flowers High, the education is top-notch, but the antics are even better. You'll find students sprinting to class like they're in a marathon, trying to avoid the dreaded tardy bell that seems to ring at the most inconvenient times. The hallways are a maze of lockers where students master the art of the last-minute cram session, trying to remember if the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell or just a fancy word for "energy thingy." The teachers? They're the real MVPs. With a knack for turning Shakespeare into a rap battle and calculus into a dance-off, learning has never been more entertaining. Forget boring lectures; at Flowers High, every class is a surprise waiting to happen. Who knew algebra could be so... algebraic? Great school, loved it and wouldn't have been the person I'm today, without going there!!!

I'm sure it's awesome if you go to one of these schools and can call this hub your home base. I am not a student at any of the universities so I came through to see if I can sneak in and study. The parking garage said that payment is required 24/7 but the gates were open so I took my chances. There are also a few street parking spots. The Priddy Library is interestingly not marked on the map near the parking garage, but it is located in the Academic Building. As a community member, I was able to just walk in. The library is awesome for studying. There's tables, group spaces, standing desks, white boards, even couches with lap desks. Plenty of outlets everywhere and lots of natural light make it really pleasant. It is dead silent so whether you see that as a pro or con, is up to you. Besides paid parking, the other downside is that the guest wifi kicks out off after 1 hour.

Mary Poppins has landed in Crofton and her name is Mrs. Sing!…read more Denise Singh, affectionately and aptly known as "Mrs. Sing" around these parts, is the owner of Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart. Classes are offered in Bowie, Crofton, College Park, and Alexandria. The Crofton Center opened just last year in an office building that's adjacent to the pond where the snakehead fish was found a few years ago (remember that?). The program occupies two immaculately-clean suites which Mrs. Sing has divided into three classrooms, a snack/play area, and a waiting area. There are also two spotless bathrooms. Mrs. Sing and her staff's commitment to children is evident from the moment that you walk into the Center. Students' artwork is prominently displayed, and there are volumes of scrapbooks filled with pictures of former and current students. The Center is stocked with high-quality instruments, toys, games, and art supplies. The Center offers parent-child classes as well as independent classes. Chickadee (age 3) has been enrolled in both types of classes and has enjoyed them. The age range for the various classes is infant through teenager. Most recently, Chickadee was enrolled in "Arts in the A.M." (ages 3-4.5) which includes music, art, and movement classes. The curriculum is as thorough as any preschool program, and the teachers are all highly trained and have wonderful interactions with the children. There is a theme for each week and an overall theme for the course (15 weeks [which can be pro-rated as well]). As a part of this course, the children take a break mid-morning and have a parent-provided snack. Chickadee felt so grown up taking a lunch box to her "program." I have to admit, it is adorable to see all of those little munchkins together! Most classes include at-home materials as well. In the past, these have included instruments, books, and/or audio CDs. We've tried several parent-child classes around the area, but I've been most impressed with Mrs. Sing's Kidsmusicart program. The staff, facility, and curricula are all top-notch.

I love the facilities and care that is given to my son. That is not the basis for my low review…read more I do not like the administration or how things seem to be handled. This is particular to the Maple Lawn location. One issue is that the infants are mixed in with older children during early morning drop off and late afternoon pickup. They do this due to staffing shortage at these times despite their numerous signs outside these rooms to not bring in older siblings. When this occurs, these children are all over my child and his belongings with illnesses. This is fine except for the fact that we are not notified when those children in different classrooms (because they are older) have contagious illnesses. My other issue with the administration is that they provide a free vacation week where you do not have to pay for that week. This is during the summer so that an amended schedule for teachers can be done to take vacations. I am on board with that. What I am not on board with is that when I was given the tour, I was explicitly told that this week is flexible because I take vacations in spring and winter. Upon receiving the form to fill out for the summer week, I was told there was no way I was provided that information. EXCEPT I WAS. They wanted nothing to do with any accommodation. I was not looking for a free week out of summer every year. But when I am given that information, I do believe that this year should have been an exception. I am writing this post so that other parents have this information and there are no "misunderstandings" for any other parents out there. The administration is great until you have a problem, and then they want nothing to do with your suggestions or concerns.

Columbia Academy definitely deserves 5 stars if my rating was based on facility alone. The…read morebuilding is very new, large, and clean. The play areas are very impressive, especially compared to nearby daycare facilities. Also, the front desk staff are all friendly and professional, not like another daycare my child attended where all the front desk did was sit on their fat a**es and gossip.... I'm also impressed by the quality of lunches they feed the kids. We opted for hot lunch for our child this years based off the menu because they really go out of their way to serve a well balanced meal including veggies and protein, not processed junk carbs. I can't verify the quality of the ingredients but it's just nice to see a balanced meal served daily. I would love to give Columbia Academy a higher rating but I can't based on the inconsistency of teacher quality. My child's head teacher is really great, a perfect balance of loving and strict and very forth coming and truthful about how my child behaved each day or other important matters. However, the assistant teachers are hit or miss. Thankfully they are just assistants. One in particular seems bi-polar, one minute hugging and playing with the kids and the next yelling over nothing. It is very apparent that my child doesn't like being around this teacher and gravitates immediately to the head teacher upon drop off. Another area where they lose points is the amount and quality of snacks and junk food constantly being shoved at these kids on a daily basis. I get it, kids need snacks, but they don't need to graze ALL DAY on junk. My child normally doesn't eat any of the healthy portions of lunch simply because the amount of junk food the kids are aloud to graze on ALL DAY LONG!!! I'm sure most of them are basically full by the time lunch rolls around so no wonder they won't touch their veggies. So basically, their attempt to serve healthy lunches is negated by the nasty crap they feed the kids all day long. I know this is just my opinion and some folks think kids should be able to eat whatever whenever, but as a health care professional, I know that this is truly teaching kids poor eating habits that will potentially lead to health problems down the road. It's hard enough to get our kids to eat the most nutritious portions of their meals when they are home and it makes it MUCH harder when my child is fed loads of processed junk right up until pick-up time each day. All they have to do is say, "I'm hungry." Really? You are hungry when you just had a giant package of fig newtons and a full cup of vanilla pudding with a handful of m & ms??? Columbia Academy is much better than other daycare facilities I have experienced and if they focused just a bit more on nutrition and consistency in teacher quality, they would easily be top notch.

They have a small but rotating and tasty selection in the cafe. I haven't tried out the workout room but it looks similar to a setup in a luxury apartment building.

I just wish it was metro accessible.

I mainly came here to use the library. Being a high schooler, I really wanted to find a library…read morethat I could concentrate in. I really love coming to this library, they give you free wifi and free computer access with about 30+ computers in the library that you can access. I feel pretty safe there too, because there are security guards once you enter. The library is really quiet and very clean. The people there are actually pretty strict when it comes to noise, so as long as you don't make much noise, they don't care. But that library is so quiet, that you can hear everything that everyone is doing, so unless you get a quiet room, I wouldn't recommend talking. The seats are comfy, the desks are really big and spacious, and you get alot of privacy. Overall, the library is big, quiet, and very great to study in if you really need to concentrate. Once you get hungry, there is a cafeteria that you can stop by, and you can always go to giant which is about a 2 minute walk. Or a 5-10 minute walk to the strip mall where they have a 7 eleven, sushi shop, burger king, and oriental market.

Bowie State University is a gem of a school right in the heart of Prince George's County. If you…read moreare considering college, pay them a visit to see it for yourself. I have come to events on campus many times over the years, but my most recent visit was eye-catching. Significant resources have been poured into the campus as new buildings and grand refurbishments and renovations continue apace. This should be the norm for all HBCUs around the country. It is a testament to the value the state places on its universities, although the level of investment pales in comparison to College Park. The quad is the envy of other schools, some with higher endowments, tuitions, and budgets. It is big enough that it feels like a university but still small enough to feel like home. My favorite feature/building/concept is the Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community (ELLC). Home to students who want to be entrepreneurs, here they live (brand new dorms), eat, and learn (classrooms and other spaces). There is a business and creative synergy that is self evident all throughout the space. I took a cohort of school age mentees for a tour and lunch at BSU. They were over-the-moon about the Student Center Dining Hall's food and modern decor. The food choices included fresh vegetables and fruits, custom made salads and bowls, hand crafted pizza, grilled to order items, and high quality rotating items from a self-serve bar. The seating area had huge windows where the sunlight shone through. The academic and recreational buildings were top tier. But what struck me most was the energy, passion, and intelligence of the students and faculty. They treated my mentees like little brothers coming to campus to learn from older siblings. The students seemed supportive of each other. D9 organizations got along too., but the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. always raise the bar. Bowie State University should be proud of the work they continue to do and the student needs they continue to meet. Five stars easily earned!
