Ms. Alice runs this program and she is THE BEST! Very friendly, easy to talk to, professional and has just as much energy as the children! Even though Bella is in the Medio class, I have met the teachers in Piccolo and Grande class as well and they are wonderful! Kudos to you Ms. Alice for selecting and hiring such amazing teachers! This school is connected to Brightwheel, an App which allows you to see videos, pictures, classroom work and messages, real time. This school teaches by doing! They have chefs come in on certain days and teach our children cooking skills but more importantly, healthy living! They have exercise trainers come in on certain days to teach our children the importance of staying active and exercising the body and playing outside! This morning when I dropped Bella off, the Medio teacher had the children sitting in a circle, she would call a child's name and that child had to get up and go to the classmate whom the teacher would name, and greet them with a "Good morning ----". Teaching them manners and morals. I think some adults need to attend this school. Lol. They have scheduled breakfast, lunch, nap and afternoon snack. If the school has to close early or will not be opening due to weather, you receive a notification immediately. The only reason Bella is leaving this school is because she is moving to another state. If I could give this place more stars, they would be a 10!!!

My son was a late bloomer when it came to talking however, once he started going to school everyday we seen improvement with everything he do. Even his range of imagination grew. Amazing. I will definitely recommend this school. The schools curriculum is not all about preschool oral language, literacy, mathematics, and science but just learning the ways of life through all aspects and the environment around them and based on the students interest through the self guided curriculum this is a great place for a little learner to be.

If you have a specific accommodation, the staff also do their best to meet this and help your child, because they really care! This center also isn't super expensive, which is surprising considering that they provide meals and snacks, POTTY TRAIN, etc. Once again adding to the fact that they really do care about our children and want them to have a memorable and amazing experience in preschool, for a low weekly tuition!

I found that and some at fundamentals. Ms. Hannah is great with the kids, she provided a safe and loving environment for my son. She showed him how to write his name in just a couple months, word recognition, and kept him fully engaged. I literally had to drag him out of there everyday because he didn't want to leave. Ms. Hannah was very accomadating with my work schedule and understanding when I was running late. Due to my health issues I had to pull my son out but if he could've stayed forever he would had. The rate is very reasonable and the location is in the "woods" but Brandywine is in the woods. Fundamentals is definitely worth checking out.

I toured this place and reviewed its website a few weeks ago and I would not recommend anyone to…read moresend their child. The website was misleading, borderline false advertisement. I wanted a place for my child to attend a positive environment with a good amount of children for the summer. I realized some of the children on the website were her actual children that she passed off as other students. It has a poor environment in a bad location near the woods with two dumpsters out front and a wire fence in the back, which looks unsafe for children. Space is limited with a clutter of old toys and not many children were present and the ones that were there did not look engaged. It seemed more like a babysitting service if you are desperate since finding childcare can be challenging and this is not a positive early learning daycare center. I normally don't write reviews but I was so disappointed I wouldn't want anyone else to be swayed or waste their time like I did.

As a military family, moving frequently means we're often starting from scratch when it comes to…read morefinding trustworthy childcare. It's one of the most stressful parts of relocating--until we found Braddock Road KinderCare. I can honestly say this center has been an absolute gift to our family since starting in the summer of 2023. From the start, we've felt welcomed, supported, and truly cared for. The director, Susie, is amazing--she's engaged, responsive, and really listens to families. Anytime we've had questions or concerns (which has been rare), she's communicated clearly and compassionately, and always worked with us to find the best path forward. She truly leads by example. Belkys (and Nancy, before she transferred) have also been incredible--warm, professional, and clearly invested in the well-being of every child. The teachers are phenomenal--Nisha, Uregi, Rose, Taliah, Anita, Melanie, and Shagofa have all played key roles in our kids' lives. They create classrooms that are safe, fun, and full of learning, and it's clear how much they care about each child as an individual. They've even reached out when our kids were sick or recovering from surgery, which was so touching and thoughtful. Even staff who haven't directly taught our children are kind, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. It's such a warm, caring environment all around. I recommend this center to everyone looking for childcare. Our kids are happy, thriving, and well cared for--and as a parent, there's nothing more valuable. This place is truly something special.

I have been forced to have an accident many many times, when I would go to time out they would make me go with the lunch ladies, help them make lunch, and then made me sit all the way across the room while everyone ate. The older kids once put me in a bin and rolled me down a hill, I was left there for an hour outside in like 80 degree weather. It might have changed since I was like a small child because I'm an adult now, but it was not good when I had attended.

The entire staff handled this WRONG. And another mother told me she would be filing CPS and licensing reports ... because the same staff member Sarah , treated her INFANT wrongly as well ... and thought it was funny. Also when you bring up legal affairs they will ( in the same breath) delete camera footage and tell you that you may only direct your concerns to higher up directors because you brought up legal affairs . They lie about involving higher ups when families are upset so that you do not reach out yourself . The directors allow their staff to let new babies cry for long periods of time . They hire idiots that know nothing about the law or how to care for peoples INFANTS. And should be cited for deleting camera footage ,before the 30 day waiting period .

Our daughter has been in Ms. Danielle's class since she was 15 months old and will soon be turning two. In that time, I've witnessed the profound impact Ms. Danielle has had on her development. It's clear to see that Ms. Danielle's deep love for teaching shines through in everything she does with our child. Our daughter has flourished under Ms. Danielle's guidance: learning letters, shapes, colors, numbers (in both English and Spanish), new sign language words, songs, dances, and so much more. But beyond just the educational milestones, Ms. Danielle has inspired a curiosity and love for learning in our daughter that will last a lifetime. As parents, we place an immense level of trust in our children's teachers-not only to help them grow but also to keep them safe. With Ms. Danielle, I never worry. She is always attentive, nurturing, thoughtful, creative, and approachable. Both my husband and I feel completely comfortable reaching out to her with any questions or concerns regarding our child. I greatly admire the level of communication she maintains with families and how she always partners with us in the care, growth, and development of our daughter. Although our daughter will soon be moving on to a new class, our family will forever be grateful for the love and dedication Ms. Danielle has shown to her. She is a truly exceptional teacher, and we feel lucky to have had her in our child's life. With sincere gratitude, The Stevens Family Waldorf, MD

Not to mention this tour was scheduled three weeks ago. This was totally unprofessional and frustrating as my husband and I both left work to attend this "tour". Also, I could understand had she said take a seat in the lobby we'll be with you in a moment, we are taking care of something but she didn't and then mentioned the tour was only 30 minutes and that we were the only tour for this day....as if our scheduled tour wasn't important.
