I've had 3 of my kids go here for daycare totaling about 9 years of service. I don't care where I…read moremove, if I can, my kids will always go here. The quality is unparalleled. Sure, I may be able to get a little cheaper if I have my kids go to a home daycare, but the care that they get here is why I love it. They have cameras in the class so I can always check in on my little ones whenever I want and they give multiple updates a day via the daycare's app so I never feel like I'm missing much. The teachers treat my kids like their own and I truly feel like they love them. If I voice any discomfort or worry, they work with me immediately. You can tell the Director truly has a passion for this job and the kids, and she schedules fun times each season and most holidays to really make you feel like this is more than just a daycare. If you're thinking about bringing your kid/baby here, stop thinking and just do it. I truly love them.

My son was in this school from Oct 2020 to Aug 2021. I post review lately because many friends…read moreasked me to do it after they heard he suffered physical abuse. I watched the live stream in his classroom (toddler) ~2hrs a day and had seen 2 times a teacher caught my son's arms and forced him to sit still no matter how hard he was fighting. After got home on these 2 days, the scratches on his arms were obvious... He was only 1.5 years old and not able to tell us what's happened. We had reported to school the next day and the teacher didn't tell the truth until we told we were watching. We had reported to their district manager and child service in government. But the teacher who hurt him was still working there before we changed school. Actually not only my son, his little friends had suffered similar experiences that I saw. That teacher disciplined kids almost everyday! I doubt her profession, because kids were reading books alone just before discipline. My son was very quite at this school and he became verbal 1 month after he got into a new place. We're so grateful to our decision!

Our family has had a great experience with the Goddard in Marriottsville over the years. When a…read morelast-minute situation arose, Ms. Sheeba quietly moved mountains to ensure our child was set up for success, and the process was seamless. It reinforced what we already felt: excellent curriculum, caring staff, and exceptional service -- definitely worth the wait.

Deciding who to leave your baby with is without a doubt the hardest, most stressful decision we…read moremake as parents. You just want them to be safe and comfortable. We chose Goddard after trying others and found that it, and owner Sheeba Mathew have no equal. Ms. Sheeba knows the name of every child, every parent, every sibling, and in some cases even the grandparents of every child who is currently or has ever been a member of the Goddard family. Beyond keeping our children safe and comfortable, Ms. Sheeba and her incredible staff of administrators and teachers provide a wonderful foundation for kids to learn and grow. There is very little teacher turnover, which is great because it gives stability at an age where kids tend to really need it. When you see your kids eyes light up as they run into the classroom and hug their teachers, you just know you've made the right call. The education provided at Goddard is also outstanding. My 5 year old son has learned not just reading and numbers but science and history. He's learned about the world that surrounds him goes well beyond his Maryland zip code. I've watched him thrive in this beautiful, amazing environment. It's been incredible. This week we say goodbye to the school we love. Next week he will start kindergarten. His years at Goddard have prepared him for this, and I am beyond grateful. He is ready to achieve great things. Though both his heart and mine break at the thought of leaving, we know that we will remain part of that special community Ms. Sheeba has created and we remain eternally thankful for it. So, if you're reading this and trying to decide where to place your child that is safe, comfortable, nurturing, educational and fun, look no further. You'll find a home at Goddard and you won't be disappointed. And Ms. Sheeba, if you're reading this, THANK YOU!!!

Hyperkids has recently been redone and looks great. A lot of the previous comments about…read morecleanliness were not that bad. While I didn't notice any active cleaning while I was there, it didn't feel gross and I didn't find anything questionable. My kids had a ton of fun and loved everything available inside. My kids are on the younger side. If you have older kids there are certain areas zoned off for younger ages. If I had older kids I might be annoyed that 1/3 of the place was not for them. I also noticed that I lost my kid most of the time. The play space is great and offers a lot, but it is really hard to keep track of your kid once they go in the big jungle gym. I also tried to follow them and it is not created for an adult size to fit.

I recently attended a birthday party at Hyper Kidz in Columbia, and this visit was a much better…read moreexperience than my first one several years ago. When we first arrived, the entrance was pretty chaotic. Parking is limited, especially when birthday parties are going on, and the lobby felt very crowded. Checking in also took longer than expected because one guest ahead of us needed help completing the waiver, while everyone else waited. Thankfully, a manager stepped in and got our party checked in quickly. The shoe storage area was another bottleneck. Since each party has designated bins, there were a lot of people gathered in one small space, making it difficult to get in and out. Once we were inside, though, things improved. The facility itself was clean, including the bathrooms, and the kids had plenty of space to play. The birthday host was very friendly, but he seemed a little overwhelmed and forgot a few things throughout the party. It wasn't a bad experience--just not quite as organized as other birthday parties I've attended. Overall, it was a fun afternoon, and the birthday child had a great celebration. While I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit this particular location, I would attend another party here if invited. I still prefer the Rockville location, which has been a smoother experience for me.

If your child is interested in gymnastics this seems like the place to be.

I can't say enough positive things about this gym and its staff!…read more My daughter went to open gym with her team and accidentally left some of her gold jewelry (multiple earrings and two necklaces that were very special to her) on the floor next to her phone. We didn't realize until later that night, and we were so worried that they'd be gone forever. I emailed the gym right away, and when I went in the next day, the office manager immediately stopped what she was doing to help. She took the time to look through the cameras and was so kind and understanding. It turned out that another staff member had already found the jewelry, carefully placed everything in a baggie, and set it aside for safekeeping. Their honesty, integrity, and genuine care really stood out. It's rare to find people who go above and beyond like that, and I'm so grateful to everyone there. This experience just reaffirmed how great this place is and we will definitely be going again!

We were at child time for I believe about 2 years and we would have stayed much longer. They were excellent when it comes to covid and were really great in general with our kids. I truly cannot say enough great things and I felt like it was a partnership than anything else. 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 daughter LOVES Camp Oasis! She'll probably attend again next year. Maybe…read more The program is decent and cost effective. Also, they always put on a cute show at the end of the two week program. Plus, the kids swim everyday in the neighboring pool. Why three stars? I honestly can't get passed the fact the kids have to sit on the floor to eat their lunch. I get that there may not be enough tables to accommodate a large number of children, but this is a paid camp. Why don't you invest in more tables or mats or something? Eating food sitting on the floor is highly unsanitary. Do you eat food sitting on the bare floor? I bet not. But, the camp counselors eat their lunches at the tables. Please change this practice; tables don't cost THAT much.
