My two kids went to Crofton Children's Center. It's truly fabulous. They create a loving…read moreenvironment. It subscribes to the "play as learning" pedagogy, which after researching it, agree with. Lots of literature supports it. Unlike other pre-schools which are like boot camps, this is about building confidence and developing their brains - not rote instruction that doesn't promote long term brain development. I can't say enough good about this place.

My son has just started his second year here. The play as learning pedagogy is just great. All the…read moreteachers we have had have been first rate and very caring, kind people. There is a lot of emphasis on free play outside on the playground. We had a decent experience at Kindercare in Gambrills when we first came to town, but when we were able to switch to Crofton Children's Center, my son really started to flourish. I've seen this with several kids who came in a little shy.... they get such lovely TLC here that they just blossom. I couldn't recommend CCC more highly. I looked at all the available daycare/preschool options when we first moved to the area and am glad we went through the wait list process and held out for the placement here. It really feels like the very best possible preschool for us.

The first week was rough but the teachers reassured me and my son. By the following week he was telling me bye and excited to go to school. They do many educational activities and field trip. Also services are incorporated which I love. My son is happy and have shown so much improvement academy and socially.

They have a thoughtful curriculum and pay attention to each child's development, with parent-teacher conferences even for babies.

I've had multiple children enrolled at Greenwood and during that time experienced three different…read moredirectors, but I could be forgetting one. There is currently a new director who I did not experience at all as my children were already enrolled somewhere else. Like a number of childcare facilities there has been quite a few teachers who have come and gone. However, I know there are still quality teachers there. Ms. Simret, Ms. Judy, Ms. Toni, Ms. Genie, and Ms. Vanessa, are all teachers I've had personal experience with and hope Greenwood is doing all they can to keep them there. There was a recent merger with Sunny Days, so hopefully this helps with teacher stability as well. I know Sunny days had teachers who had been with the facility for quite some time. My children learned and thrived while they were here and still talk about Greenwood. Overall, I think it's a great facility with the chance to be greater. Federal employees have preference here with general community members without a child currently enrolled there being last in order preference. Wishing everyone best of luck in their childcare endeavors!

The most important thing that I can say is that my child LOVES this school. They have literally…read morewoken up, and the first thing out of their mouth was "Mommy, I want to go to school." As a parent, what more can you ask for? Our child is also in Room 4 (Ms. R's class), same as the previous reviewer, and we've never had a problem with her not greeting us in the morning or witnessed her on the phone. All of the instructors in that classroom greet us in the mornings during drop off and in the afternoons during pick-up. They also fill us in on any particulars about our child from that day or the day before. They always seem happy and positive (even when it looks like they've had a long day). One of our favorite things about the school is its diversity. My child's classroom is extremely diverse, and it's one of the main reasons that we picked this school. We were unaware of Laurie's pending retirement until reading the previous review, so thanks, person, for spilling the beans on this very public platform. Did you have permission to share that information? So I don't know if this is true, but Laurie is absolutely awesome!

They are very convenient in terms or location. The ladies had all been trained on the Epi Pen Jr. I unfortunately had to relocate to another daycare due to moving to Northern Virginia. I would recommend them to any parent. I loved the Daily Sheets, Everyday I picked him up from them I had a thorough report of what they did during the day along with when he napped, what he ate. I felt like I could trust them to do the right thing. I love how they invite the parents to be involved with their activities too! Anyways, best of luck searching!!

Unfortunately not a safe environment. For over a year the owner promised to install a security…read moredoor to replace the door which anyone could open & enter the center. In June parents received letters promising the door would be installed the first week of July which was the reason for a hike in tuition. However, July came & went & so did the owner who moved with her family out of state without letting anyone know. I found out from a neighbor & confirmed with one of the care givers. In addition, the playground is a deplorable area; rocks, & old mulch which provide no protection from injury when the kids fall. The deck is old and in need of major repair so that the children can avoid coming home with splinters. The only positive is the employees who are kind & do the best they can with the equipment they have.

Excellent!!! My daughter loves it and we have been extremely pleased with all the staff.read more
