We had a very disappointing experience with this Kiddie Academy location…read more Before enrolling, we were very clear that our son has an IEP and requires his IEP team to come into the daycare to provide services. We specifically asked if this would be an issue and were told it would not be. Based on that assurance, we paid the enrollment fees for both of our children, with a start date of 12/8. After payment and after setting up a shared email at the school's request, Kiddie Academy informed us of new requirements for specialists entering the building, including a background check through the school and a medical report. These requirements were never disclosed prior to enrollment. As a result, our son's IEP team informed us they could not provide services at this location due to the requirements imposed. Because our son could not receive legally required services, we were forced to withdraw both children. To make matters worse, the school also changed our start date from 12/8 to 12/15 without consulting us. We contacted the school multiple times requesting a refund since we enrolled based on information that turned out to be incomplete or misleading and no services were ever provided. Our concerns were not adequately addressed. Families with children who have special needs should ask very detailed questions and get everything in writing before enrolling. Transparency and communication were extremely lacking in our experience

We had a very troubling experience with this Goddard School…read more We disclosed our son's ADHD prior to enrollment and explained that his medication was actively being adjusted. Despite this, he was given only a few days to acclimate before being sent home, briefly allowed back after a meeting, and then dismissed entirely -- without a reasonable adjustment period or meaningful accommodations. His twin sibling was allowed to remain enrolled. During one meeting, the owner, Melvise Powell, yelled at my husband and me and abruptly told us to leave her office. We also became aware that another individual appeared to be listening in via the office phone without our knowledge, which raised serious concerns under Maryland's two-party consent law. When this was pointed out, the meeting was immediately ended and we were ordered out. Additionally, our daughter later reported that an employee would pinch her when she did not nap, which we found extremely alarming and concerning. ADHD is a recognized disability under the ADA, and excluding a child without attempting reasonable accommodations -- combined with unprofessional conduct and concerning reports about staff behavior -- raises serious concerns. Based on our experience, the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional, and families should steer clear of this school!!

When we left there were absolutely a lot of tears and it was one of the saddest parts of us leaving Maryland. I would highly encourage anyone to feel very safe and comfortable knowing their children will be taken care of here.

My son has been attending Little Queens & Kings childcare center since October 2023. After a year…read moreof being there, I believe it's the perfect time to share my review. He absolutely adores it! He is always cheerful and excited to see Mrs. Deborah and her team. The genuine care, patience, and inviting smile she offers the children daily are evident in every interaction. The spacious interior with walls adorned in children's artwork, is always so well kept, clean, & tidy, and the beautiful, safe & secure, large playground in the back is every child's dream! My son is thriving in this environment! We were pleasantly surprised by the summer camp hosted at the center during his first summer there. The calendar was packed with engaging activities. He has had numerous new experiences through field trips to places like the Baltimore Aquarium & Zoo, as well as on-site events such as petting farms and magic shows. Additionally, he is learning so much! At almost 3 years old, he can identify colors, letters, shapes, play games, and take turns - his social skills are exceptional. The center is affordable & offers before & after school care. They provide breakfast and a packed lunch is required daily. I am grateful to have discovered this center in my local area, with its rich history and strong community ties. Every day, I feel at ease knowing that my child is safe and happy under the care of Mrs. Deborah, (She's the best!), and her team. I wholeheartedly recommend Little Queens & Kings!

Apparently this place has been open since February but I never knew until flags and signs were posted on 175 (aka Annapolis Road) telling of this place. I pass this area multiple times and never knew this place was back there. So maybe with Yelp more of you will discover this place. The place is very new and very clean with an open area for performances. Remember this is owned by a church so no twerking. Well maybe a little. I went with a fish (whiting) platter that comes with a choice of two sides and a drink. On this day I went with the unusual combination red beans and rice along with mac n cheese. The platter comes with three fish and trust me the mac n cheese is no out of the box stuff. The red beans and rice was good but it had a bit of sweetness to it. Still it was good with plenty of bits of sausage in it. One thing I noticed is that the platter came with no bread. For some of you it will not be a big deal but for me it is a staple in fish dinners..........along with hot sauce. The fish was good and cooked once I ordered but I think it could have used more seasoning. Not a bad place and it offers a little extra diversity here in Odenton. If you get an urge to grab some food from here don't come on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday as they are closed.

Suzanne, the director is a warm and caring leader and these characteristics are passed down to the staff. My son has always felt at home at this center. When we moved and he started Kindergarten, instead of attending summer camp at his new school and closer to our new home, he asked to go back to Kindercare in Hanover for summer camp. The summer program was filled with activities and numerous field trips to keep the children engaged and ensure a fun filled summer! Although the center did experience a period of staff transition, the director worked diligently to ensure minimal impact to the children. This was not something the staff/director could control so it would be unfair to hold them responsible. The leadership at the center will listen to any concerns shared, and will get to know your child and ensure their needs are met. They supported us in throwing two amazing birthday parties for our son at the center. Years later he still speaks fondly about these great experiences. He was also able to make great friends while he attended Kindercare in Hanover. Due to a military move, we had to leave the center, but were very sad to leave. This is a great family environment and my family and I wholeheartedly recommend Kindercare in Hanover. Thanks to you all for providing a caring environment where children can learn and grow.

I posted the same review in a military page as we are a military family that used a military subsidy. There were so many responses from other families going through the same issues. While the Primeron can reply to my review saying they've "strengthened and improved their communication" it is apparent from hearing from other families they haven't. Responses to Yelp reviews are purely for their image as admin at the Primeron does not respond nearly as fast or as professional to attending families.

I've noticed a few negative reviews here from frustrated parents, which is unfortunate. While I…read morecan't speak to every individual situation, I do want to share that our experience at Primeron has been one of the VERY BEST we could have ever hoped for. In particular, the director, Kaela, has been responsive, approachable, and genuinely invested in building strong relationships with families. She has taken the time to listen to concerns, make herself available when needed, and even helped establish a parent partnership group (similar to a PTO), which has been a meaningful way for families to stay engaged and connected. Like any organization, occasional issues may arise, but in our experience, the leadership team has handled matters professionally and with care. Some concerns (such as those related to voucher programs) may be tied to broader administrative systems rather than the on-site leadership. I have great relationships with many family members, and have never had issues making my payments, via the Daycare Family Works app. We can tell that Kaela and the leadership team prioritize and value family partnerships: this is why they have connected parents together through family days, created summer camps, spirit weeks, and a parent partnership group. I plan to be a part of the Primeron family until my child ages out! Overall, we feel supported, valued, and confident in the care our child receives. We appreciate the dedication of the staff and leadership team and are grateful to be part of this community.

He affectionately calls it "the green and white" because of the building colors. We switched to Little Eggs from another daycare that was decent but just wasn't the right fit for our son. Although he interacted well with the other kids, he remained distant from the teachers there. However, just after two days at Little Eggs, I arrived to pick him up and found him sitting in his teacher Ms. Kaiya's lap, happily reading a book. This was a level of comfort and connection we hadn't seen at the previous daycare. Since starting at Little Eggs, his language and social skills have improved tremendously. He's thrilled by the unique and fun activities, like the foam parties, and he's always excited to bring home his crafts and artwork to show us. The facilities are always clean, and the rooms are neat and tidy, which adds to the overall positive environment. Little Eggs has truly been a wonderful place for him, and we couldn't recommend it more highly.
