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!!!

Discovery lane is a amazing school. My son was enrolled in the Piccolo class started back in July…read moreof this year and within 3 1/2 months we seen so much growth. 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.

The staff is warm, welcoming & professional. From what I seen, it seems like the activities are engaging, educational, and fun--perfect for his age group! It's clear the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to help children grow academically and socially. We are a military family and they helped us through the whole process of trying to get the military subsidy situated. I appreciate the fact that they were very knowledgeable and helpful through this whole process and patient as we kept pushing our son's start date back to make sure the military subsidy was approved before we begin. If I had to say something that could use improvement and this is a stretch here, they did tell me that they would be taken more pictures of my son throughout the day, I have received some, but not as many as I thought I would have received, but nonetheless, I do appreciate the pictures they send! I highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a caring and stimulating environment for their child

I've just plenty of daycares before so this is not my first rodeo. So if your ok with calling out of paying for services you don't get this is your go to here. If you're looking for a dependable before and after care DO NOT look here. They don't even give you a discount for that day if they decide not to run the bus. POOR MANAGEMENT!!!!!! Kindercare is 1000 times better I promise you. Why pay 240 a week and receive 50 a week service? Ps the days they cancel are not part of the contract that you sign.

Here is the nomination I submitted for Teacher of the Year:…read more Nomination for Teacher of the Year: Ms. Danielle Smith Ms. Danielle Smith is the epitome of an educator, caregiver, and professional. 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

We asked the front desk assistant if we needed to reschedule (since we did leave work for the tour) and she said "well today is pizza Friday and it will be a few more minutes (but couldn't tell us how many more minutes). First impressions are super important...if we are scheduling a tour to potentially place our children in this school, things should have been organized and prepared. 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. I am most definitely not sending my children here if the tour alone was unprofessional.

Happy Faces Early Learning Center has provided child care and summer programs for my 7 year old…read moregrand-daughter for years, she continues to be excited about going there, and I wouldn't trust her with anyone else. We have tried other daycare centers but none even come close to the program and staff at Happy Faces ELC. The certified staff takes continuing education courses in early childhood education/development to maintain their credentials and they're so knowledgeable, very professional, firm but fair, and all the kids have fun and learn about all kinds of things. A normal school day for children is to arrive bright and early between 6:00 - 7:00am, they play in whatever educational center they chose (computers, housekeeping, blocks, library area, etc) until it's time to go to school. Mr. Tim drives the children to school in the Happy Faces new 14 passenger van. When they get out of school, Mr. Tim is there to pick them up and take them safely back to Happy Faces. When they arrive, they have time to wind down and eat a snack, then they start their homework. After homework is finished, the children enjoy free time playing outside with the other children, entertaining themselves in one of the learning centers, reading a book or playing an educational game the teacher has prepared/set-up. Happy Faces ELC's Summer Program is exciting, educational and most of all fun! When I pick her up, she just can't stop talking about all the exciting things she did that day. Our grand-daughter especially likes the field trips to: bowling, skating, parks, museums, swimming, movies and more!!! On non-field trip days, Happy Faces has special guests stop by to educate and entertain the children like: a mobile petting zoo, clowns, magicians, police officers, fire fighters, and more! Happy Faces ELC is so exciting and educational that my grand-daughter won't go anywhere else! We love Happy Faces ELC, we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else and the staff are so friendly and professional !!!! We give Happy Faces 2 thumbs up!!!!

Please keep all of this in mind before enrolling your child.
