The staff is warm and loving and have great communication with parents. Our daughter is happy when we drop her off and is still smiling when we pick her up. We know she is safe, learning, and loved while she is with Connie and her team. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful and affordable daycare for our daughter and could not recommend CLCP any more.

Our son of age 2 and a half has attended Connie's family/day care for about three months now, and…read morewe feel very happy for our decision of choosing Connie's. We must say that it not only offers great care to children and great affordability as an excellent daycare should but also provides many preschool-like educational activities for older (2 and above) children, which we value greatly. Connie's is state-accredited and currently has four staff members including Ms. Connie, Ms. Emily, Ms. Esther, and Ms. Sam. Through our careful observations during the initial visits and the following day-to-day interactions, we are confident that they are all fine persons and professional childcare providers whom we can trust to leave our child with. While at Connie's, children have a variety of activities day in and day out. In the morning, there are indoor play time, morning story time, outdoor play, lunch, etc. Following a nap time in the afternoon, there are educational activities such as crafting, singing, reading, etc. Food and drinks are served throughout the day and everyday ends with a closing story time. After a month of attending Connie's, we sensed that our son was better mannered, more self-organized, and more confident. A very useful service Connie's provides is an online communication tool that logs each child's activities. Through the ledger, we know exactly what and how much food our child eats, when and how many times diapers are changed, how long he plays outside. In addition, Connie's also shares photos of children activities through google drive monthly. These features really give us peace of mind and the ease to keep a good record of our child's growth. Last but not least, Connie's is affordable. We are happy to see that the family care is now authorized to accept up to 12 children from the current 8. We are looking forward to our son making new friends!

We have had our son enrolled at Goddard at North Bethesda/White Flint for almost a year and have…read morehad such a great experience! We changed daycares because we moved and wanted a daycare slightly closer to our new house - and we have had no regrets with the switch! After touring, we were attracted to the welcoming staff, new and clean building/environment, ample play spaces, and structured curriculum and schedules. We knew this was somewhere we could send our son until he goes off to Kindergarten. We were really drawn to the fact that they sign the teacher's contracts for a full school year, ensuring minimal turnover (our previous daycare had an incredible amount of turnover in staff and admin, which we found very disruptive to our son's routines and to us as parents). Communication between the school and parents has been wonderful (e-mail and detailed daily reports) and all of the teachers and admin really seem to enjoy what they do.

The curriculum is great and we love how the activities are themed each week, it keeps things fresh and exciting. She always comes home with something fun to talk about, and we love that they send her home with art activities and homework she actually enjoys doing too! The school puts on loads of events which really adds to the community feel. What we really appreciate is the consistency. It's helped her settle in and build some lovely friendships with teachers and kids. We are very happy with our choice :)

The Environment: Every staff member from the front desk, teachers, and administration was so welcoming! As a result, our oldest child attended Whole Kids Academy from Infancy through Pre-K. Additionally, our youngest attended from infancy through Early Preschool. Both of my boys have always felt loved and adored! It seemed that every teacher knew our kids' names, even if my husband and I didn't know them. Any time occasional concerns arose, the administration handled them promptly! Every staff member is eager to support, listen, learn, and educate! The Curriculum: Wow! From the infant room to Pre-k, WKA truly fosters an environment where children develop a love for learning!! I have pictures of my 3-month-old painting with corn during Autumn, exploring textures by painting on bubble wrap, enjoying music class, engaging in circle time, and learning about the outdoor environment through daily walks...and that was just the beginning! Recent Pre-K lessons included meteorology, biographies, and space, just to name a few! Each day, the lesson plan is intentionally crafted to develop each learning domain! Both of my boys are such curious learners, and people are genuinely impressed by their knowledge base. Our oldest just started kindergarten, and he's extremely ahead in all subjects. We absolutely love WKA and were sad to leave due to a cross-country move. If you're looking for a nurturing environment for your kids to fall in love with learning, WKA is the place!

Choosing the right preschool for our twins was a daunting task since we wanted nothing but the best for their first official school. We visited all the well-known preschools in the area but none of them gave us that "this is it" feeling. Our friend recommended Children's House at Holly Hill Montessori and believe me, I had my reservations when I heard it was set up in the teacher's home but I went for a meet and greet anyways. It was the best decision we could have made and all our preconceptions went out the window as soon as we stepped in. Every nook and cranny of the school was a functional space, purposefully designed to cater to the needs of the little ones. And here's the kicker: despite the bustling activity of energetic preschoolers, the school exuded a serene atmosphere that could only be explained by witchcraft. Not a single moment of chaos or tears to be found! However, the true gem of Children's House is none other than the remarkable Ms. Toni. She embodies everything a parent could dream of in a teacher, especially for young children. With her patience, kindness, and genuine care, she creates an environment that feels like a warm hug. Her infectious smile and unwavering passion for teaching are evident in every interaction. We left our twins in her capable hands, knowing they were in the best possible care. Our twins initially struggled with a speech delay, but thanks to Ms. Toni's exceptional skills, they quickly caught up with their peers. She has a remarkable knack for teaching, seamlessly integrating academics with invaluable life and social skills. And as an added bonus, she provides a hot lunch every day, which was incredibly helpful for us as busy parents. Ms. Toni has laid a solid foundation for our twins, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in elementary school. We will forever be grateful for the immeasurable impact she has had on their development. It's without a doubt that she is the best teacher they have encountered on their educational journey thus far. Our only regret is that the pandemic prevented us from staying with her longer. We wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Toni and Children's House at Holly Hill Montessori to any parent seeking a nurturing and enriching preschool experience. She has consistently demonstrated her unwavering dedication to the children's best interests, leaving a lasting mark on their lives. Without a doubt, she receives our highest recommendation, and we would choose her over and over again.

As a co-op, parents are expected to be very involved in the school, co-oping in the classroom, taking part in work days, and also holding a job.
