We love the daily reports! The security protocols provide an effective defense-in-depth strategy that I think adds significant peace of mind. The children are safe, secure and well taught. Discipline is effective and consistent with a focus on positive reinforcement and good decision making. Accidents/incidents are communicated rapidly and the staff are very attentive to the health and well being of our children. The facility is clean and sanitized with the attention of detail that has resulted in the best environment for our children. The food options are excellent and provide a balanced meal to keep our little ones fed and nourished. Issues or concerns that were communicated by myself to the staff were respectfully discussed and addressed in a timely manner. The events and activities that are sponsored by the academy are great team building opportunities for the parents and staff. Additionally, they provide a strong foundational marker for the children to observe the parents being a part of their educational journey. Highly recommended!

It's a smaller group which means each kid gets all the attention and support they need. I'm continuously being amazed by the curriculum and the program - Spanish, music, art, soccer, field trips, field day - my kid loves going to school so much! She just turned 5 and can name all the countries in South America and Europe and all 50 states in the US. I don't know many adults who can! She's going to kindergarten this year but I already enrolled my second child to be in this program. We've had an excellent experience and will recommend Anitha's program to anybody who's interested! Great price for this area and totally worth it!

Ms. Hana took COVID safety very seriously and took all the measures to make sure that the learning environment was also a safe place as well which was also a top priority for us. It was going to be his first time in a structured school setting so I really appreciated the smaller class size and student to teacher ratio because I felt like he was able to receive a more individualized curriculum and he was met at his academic level. When my son first started, he had very basic knowledge of his letters and sounds, but now we are almost to the end of our first year and he is reading simple sentences. He comes home excited to tell me what he has learned and about all his friends at school! I am so impressed with how much he has learned and grown thanks to Ms. Hana. Although we will be moving on next year to kindergarten, we are so happy that our son was able to get a good foundation for this upcoming school year!

My daughter has grown so much during her time here into very sweet, talkative, helpful. Ms. Hana plans thoughtful activities for the kids all the time and is a very responsive director. She takes the time to get to know every child very well. I love that this school is smaller which affords the kids more personalized care as well as bring a "family like" feeling between parents, teachers, and children. My most favorite part is, I really enjoy receiving a art works, worksheets, home report and occasional pictures of my child. We have been very happy at MMPS. It is a gem of a school within affluent North Potomac/Rockville with still very reasonable rates relative to other preschool.

Last summer, he attended Dragonfly Summers at Academy's location at Dufief E.S. He loved it and the staff so much! He begged to stay with me again this summer, so he could go back. This summer he is attending Academy's Trips and Dips program! He has only been attending for one week so far, and they have been to multiple waterparks, bowling and to the National Building Museum! It is so wonderful how the Academy staff balance education and fun for the children. He is learning different things and having a blast while doing it! As a bonus, he is worn out by the time he gets home! It is comforting to know while I am at work, he is in the safe,capable hands of the mature and professional staff. What more could a parent/guardian ask for! ;)

They consistently welcome all families morning, mid‑day, and afternoon with smiles. You can feel how much they care about the children and the families they support. The teachers -- Nelly, Paris, and Apria -- greet the kids with joy every morning and stay fully engaged throughout the day. Their patience, kindness, and consistency make the classroom feel safe, loving, and structured. They communicate clearly, support each child's needs, and create an environment where children truly thrive. A bonus that is that Ms. Cheryl prepares the food in-house, giving meals a home‑cooked feel and adding an extra layer of comfort and care to the day. Knowing the children are eating fresh, thoughtfully prepared meals is something our family truly appreciates. The camera system is another huge source of peace of mind. Being able to check in and see my child happy, safe, and involved in activities makes such a difference. Beyond that, the whole team is always working to serve both the children and the families. They're responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in creating a positive environment. It's clear that Childtime of Gaithersburg is run by people who love what they do. We're grateful for the kindness, consistency, and care they show every day. Thank you all so much! -Laura

All the teachers are amazing not just in instruction but they are truly kind and loving to the kids. The community of families that attend there become like family.

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.
