After meeting with Kellie, seeing the staff, and facility, we enrolled our 2 year old son. He loves it. Every month has a theme, and days of the week have specific activities. All the teachers and staff are excellent. If I miss someone, I apologize. Ms. Yan - Teaches yoga (with meditation!), potty training!, etc. Very helpful. My son often mentions her. Ms. Danielle - Science; does interesting and fun experiments with the kids. Ms. Farzi - Works with the kids on cooking, singing, etc. Mr. Dwight - Maintenance and Cleaning; Friendly guy who keeps the place clean. Often have a good chat with him. More people interact with our son, but these are the primary people I have gotten to know. KinderCare has been extra cautious and supportive during the COVID-19 crisis. We looked at our other options in the area, and chose this one based on programs, staff, and facility. I wish I could have gone there.

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 staff worked with us to help transition her into their programs and helped A LOT with potty training. Now at 5, and off to Kindergarten, our daughter has learned so much from her friends and teachers. All the kids have grown to be very close and just love each so much. Black Rock is a health conscious, play-centered learning environment. The directors go above and beyond to stay informed and up to date on the latest learning styles and resources for young children. I highly recommend this place!!

My daughter is thriving both academically and socially and I feel she is very prepared for going to Kindergarten in the Fall. My daughter had a lot of separation anxiety in the beginning but the teachers were so understanding and welcoming that she adjusted in a matter of 2 days. Just incredible! The manager and teachers are so wonderful and warm and they take care of all the children as if they are their own. My daughter always has wonderful things to say about her day at school and I am so blessed to have found this place. I would totally recommend this learning center for any parent looking for a safe and educational environment for their little ones

The teachers are great communicators; they call you with urgent issues during the day, give you brief updates at pickup and are always happy to answer questions. In addition, they have parent teacher conferences (for toddlers!) to keep us in the loop. If you ever get a chance to observe the classroom, it's amazing how one teacher that can control so many kids in silence with only sign language, even though they are all working independently. We highly Recommend JBS

I have not seen any educational or moral progress with my child. Teacher level of education and capability to teach is zero. One year of what they called education, my child still writes the Z inverted. The teacher did not have a capability to correct that!!!!!! I had been in international Montessori school when I was a child, the level of emotional and social support was beyond amazing, while julia brown has nothing to do with emotional and social support. I have no idea how Montessori allowed them to run under their name with such poor standards of education and engagement with the child, never mind the gloominess of this school, old furniture, no modern methods of learning, my child continuously expressed how unhappy he was there. Kids don't lie!!!!

The curriculum is play based but my son was very well prepared for Kindergarten. By the end of pre-k, he was able to identify and write all his letters, numbers up to 30, some site words and write his full name. There aren't enough words for me to say how much I love the school.

However, this place definitely knows how to take care of your child. From professional staff to the admin, you're in good hands. Our son was emotionally scarred from the previous daycare due to certain rough treatment, yet he was able to make his recover here tremendously with the care and nurture. They care about the feelings of the little ones and know how to process required documents efficiently. So far so good! We are glad to entrust our son to village Montessori and hope to stay with them long as we can so our son can grow and flourish.

Shout out to Mrs. Carroll, and Mrs. Shelley. This is our last year at Epworth as my last one is finishing up Trans K with Mrs. David. We will miss Epworth. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a place that cares not only about academic achievement but the child as a whole.
