****Edited 8/29/26 I have lowered the star by 1 as the…read moreresponse from the owner highlights the lack of accountability on their end. Even from leadership. Truly scary. **** Our longtime daycare closed, and we enrolled our children here. A decision I regret. I would avoid this location. The administrative team is disorganized, communication is poor, and advocating for your child results in being labeled "aggressive," even as staff raise their voices. My 5‑year‑old's teacher waited nearly two weeks to introduce herself, then immediately criticized his behavior in front of him and other children, with no explanation of how they addressed it. Billing was a mess: constant errors, incorrect charges, overpayments, and no accountability. The director threatened to unenroll all three of my kids when I paused payment due to an incorrect amount, which she later confirmed was their mistake. They also fired my middle child's teacher without notifying parents. I only found out because a stranger was holding my son's hand at pickup. No announcement was ever sent. Overall, the lack of professionalism and communication made this an unsafe and unreliable environment.

I was very excited for my son to attend Arco Iris. He attended for two years. He enjoyed the first…read moreyear but the second year was not good. I think the school is beautiful and does a great job with marketing. However, I noticed that my son did not learn much. They told me that they use the Univ. of Maryland bilingual curriculum. My son did not learn basic numbers or alphabets in spanish,or much else. The center is also located in a professional building. My son had some behavioral challenges his second year there. He was fine the first year. I believe the owner was more focused on the noise level and the "image" of the school. I removed my son and placed him in a small bilingual center. He learned spanish numbers, colors and alphabet within about two months. His current teacher does not have any issues with his behavior and he loves school. Arco staff was friendly and professional, however I am not confident that they are up for the challenges of bilingual education of young children.

My son has been attending Kindercare since he turned 18 months (he is now 3). I can truly say that…read morethis center is the best. They have a structured program for all ages. The children don't just run around all day not learning anything. Each class has a curriculum that caters to the development milestones of that age. They provide meals, which I like, and also do potty training. Another bonus is every quarter, they have parent-teacher conferences, which allows you to learn what your child is doing and where he/she can improve. Now, every childcare center is not perfect and I know that searching for childcare for a child is hard (and sometimes frustrating)...but I think you will like Kindercare. It's worth the cost. My son has great social skills, a strong vocabulary, and is learning to read/write. I love Kindercare!

Ms. Robyn is One of a Kind…read more We are beyond grateful for the love, care, and dedication Ms. Robyn has poured into our child and our family. From the moment we stepped into her facility, we felt a sense of warmth, safety, and genuine care. Ms. Robyn treats every child as if they were her own, creating a nurturing environment where children thrive emotionally, socially, and academically. Our son, Chace, began showing remarkable developmental milestones under her care. By the age of one, he had a vocabulary of 25 words, could independently identify all 26 letters, numbers 1-10, and 8 colors. Thanks to Ms. Robyn's incredible curriculum and hands-on teaching, Chace entered kindergarten fully prepared; reading, writing, and more. Her attention to nutrition is also unmatched. Ms. Robyn prepared gourmet, well-balanced meals that introduced our children to new and diverse foods, cultivating healthy eating habits from a young age. As a first-time mom, I cannot overstate how much Ms. Robyn supported me personally. She was there for the tears, the questions, the worries and always responded with kindness, encouragement, and wisdom. She didn't just care for my child; she cared for me, too. Ms. Robyn's facility is immaculately clean and maintained to the highest standards. Even during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no outbreaks, a testament to her diligence, safety measures, and care for every child's well-being. Most importantly, Ms. Robyn makes you and your child feel like part of her family. Her home is filled with love, structure, joy, and learning. We will always be thankful for the foundation she gave our child and the peace of mind she gave us as parents. Ms. Robyn, thank you for everything. You are truly a gift.

I've walked in (without notice and saw the teachers and teachers aids interacting with my misbehaving child(he was taking toys away from other children and screaming at them) in a way that made me 100% assured this was the best place for him. I didn't stop it bc like you I was curious how they would react. They were firm, but not harsh by any means, they were gentle and loving. I'll be honest, it is the tenderhearted nature of the teachers and aids that really have impressed me. The teachers and teachers aids in the 2 and 3 year old program (Ms, Buschra, Ms. Mehwish and aids like Ms.Comfort have been nothing short of amazing. I am honored to have had my son in their classroom.) Seriously, they are the most patient, gentle and genuinely loving teachers and teachers aids who have always treated their students with the utmost respect, patience and kindness. They are effective teachers and have even helped us with potty training. The administration is just as incredible. They know each parent that comes into the day care personally. They address them and say hi when they enter and leave. They know your child's name. They are some of the friendliest people in the DC/MD/Va area. I have friends who have their kids here under other teachers, and they tell me they don't mind driving from College Park to Burtonsvile, just to send their kids to this school. They too, could not be happier or feel more secure about keeping their children in Childway. This is the perfect place for your child. So before you get scared off by the one star review, check out the place and meet the teachers. Watch them interact with the kids. I think you will see the same dedicated and caring faculty and staff that I have seen.

Alice's true authentic Montessori school was warm and inviting. Unfortunately due to distance from us we decided may not be the best fit, but assure any parent her attention to detail and sections for children to focus on math, cursive, and art was nothing less than a beautiful display. The children are able to water flowers and do arrangements, have access to beautiful grounds and nature. Highly recommend and if location / travel time from where we live in Columbia was more feasible would have enrolled our daughter. A must for any parent looking for AMI teaching!!!
