This is my second review of Michael. I just want others to be able to benefit from his services because there is nothing like it out there. I was working with a chiropractor for back and knee issue years ago, two times a week. He was great at what he does but I went to see Michael one weekend. I didn't tell my chiro and went back to see him as our usual schedule. As soon as my chiro looked at my back he was dumbfounded. I asked "what is it?" He said he'd never see anything like it before but my back had totally changed since I saw him. Then I told him I saw Michael. He said it would have taken him months to do what Michael did in one session and asked for his information so he could refer HIS patients!! Fast forward six years. I'm diagnosed with a compressed disk in my neck and having headaches literally every single day, and numbness in my hands. I went the traditional route and was going to PT twice a week. I went for over a month, they did exercises, dry needling, decompression, etc. Very little progress. Two visits with Michael and I'm headache and numbness free! He truly is amazing and a gift. We're so lucky to have him in our area. read more

Elizabeth is amazing. I started getting massages after years of having back pain and neck pain,…read moremostly due to the fact that I was spending a lot of time sitting down and reading for school, which strained my neck and shoulders. I moved to Bowie recently and wanted to find a massage therapist closer to me. I started with the Groupon deal to check Massage Savvy out, and loved it. Elizabeth really puts in good work to satisfy my neck and shoulder pain. I used to walk out of massages feeling good but still not entirely satisfied because even when I would tell my previous massage therapists to apply more pressure, did not really do much for me but I still appreciated their work nonetheless. Elizabeth applies the perfect amount of pressure and makes her customers feel at home. Highly recommend! (Note: Her practice is in side the "Turning Point" acupuncture office. Threw me off at first when I first visited, but thankfully I always give myself 20 min extra to get to a massage therapist so that I can relax and sit while waiting for my appointment so I was not late.)

May the work I've done speak for me", gives me the reason for my doing a review. I started seeing Patrick, massage therapist because of a traumatic fall at work. My original orthopedic doctor recommended massage therapy because of the stress level involved on my job. The environment that Patrick has created is one of professionalism, peace and safety. His knowledge, expertise and the no none sense way he communicates my problems and issues are clear and just "makes sense". Recently I had another traumatic experience at work and I believe it is directly related to my set backs. On my most recent visit with Patrick, he did an assessment and made recommendations. Yes, " Money answereth all things". However, when you have a business person who puts the clients best interest of healing upfront instead of $$$$, deserves a review from me. His integrity, care and concern for his client was foremost and I thank God for you and thank you Patrick. I would highly recommend this message therapist . Continued success to you. Jacqueline McC.

In response to the owner's reply: it seems this company always has an excuse for the way COA…read moreChildcare is run. The director was fully aware of what was happening--that's the most troubling part. Even with cameras in place, it's clear the higher-ups aren't reviewing them, or else they would have seen multiple incidents: a teacher left alone with seven infants, and even a school-age child placed in the infant classroom. These are not minor mistakes--these are serious violations. It's no surprise that parents are withdrawing their children for reasons just like this. I personally know several parents who are urgently looking for new childcare to get their children out of this center. How this place continues to operate while violating so many rules is beyond me. Parents, please be aware--this company shows a disturbing lack of accountability. Their response is nothing more than excuses piled on top of excuses, as if we don't have the ability to screen-record or screenshot proof directly from the cameras.

The reviews for this center are extremely misleading and appear to come largely from friends or…read moreassociates of the staff. My child no longer attends this daycare, and I'm writing not only from my own experience but also on behalf of parents I personally know who are actively searching for new childcare because they are trying to remove their infants from this facility. I genuinely do not understand how this center is still operating. Staff turnover is constant, and it's not hard to see why. Employees are treated poorly, and I have never encountered a daycare that does not allow staff to leave the building at all during their lunch breaks. Expecting employees to remain inside all day without fresh air or a real break is unreasonable and contributes directly to burnout and high turnover. Another major concern is supervision. There have been instances where a school bus driver was watching infants, despite not being a certified classroom teacher. That alone should raise serious red flags for any parent. Illness is also a recurring issue. Children are frequently sick, and it's clear why toys are not properly cleaned. They are simply put away and reused the next day. When concerns are raised, parents are met with nothing but excuses and deflection rather than accountability. This center puts on a polished front when it's time to enroll new families, but once you're in, the reality is very different. The fact that they continue enrolling children despite being severely understaffed speaks volumes. It is evident that profit is being prioritized over safety, staffing, and basic care standards. Let's not mention the treatment of the kids. Being left to cry in their cribs and you can't really blame all of the teachers there are maybe two good ones! But when they are overwhelmed and have way too many infants it's only but so much they can do. The staff to child ratio is never right which is a complete violation! I have also had former employees confide in me about the treatment they experienced while working here, which only further confirmed my concerns. At the end of the day, all I can say is this: don't let the reviews or the director fool you. What you're promised is not what you get. Unfortunately, many parents don't realize this until they've already enrolled. I'm already expecting a response filled with excuses and a complete lack of accountability, because that is the pattern here. This is exactly how concerns are handled nothing ever gets fixed. Parents are met with excuse after excuse, denial, and deflection instead of real solutions or meaningful change! This also appears to be a broader pattern across multiple Children of America locations, not just this one. When the focus becomes how many children can be enrolled rather than staffing appropriately, maintaining safety standards, and having a genuine interest in the well-being of the children, these issues are bound to happen. Unfortunately, that seems to be exactly what's going on here! Everything feels like a front for parents. The director is known for minimizing concerns, downplaying serious issues, and attempting to "smooth things over" to save face rather than actually addressing the root of the problems. Safety concerns are brushed aside, staffing shortages are normalized, and accountability is avoided all in the name of maintaining enrollment numbers.

She has been going to the daycare as a drop in when she was an infant and started attending daily when she was 1. She is now 3 and knows everyone's name, kids, and teachers.

When we go over letters at home she will say different classmates name that begin with the letters. She sings along with the class and continues when she gets in the car to do home.

On several occasions they have closed with no/short notice on non-holidays leaving parents scrambling for care & paying twice - once to Haynes and again for emergency care. The only notice they might provide is a small notice on the wall among a lot of other postings. You will have to pay for daycare or lose money when they close on non holidays, which is becoming more frequent. They do have a monthly newsletter (that usually comes out about 10 to 14 days into the month) but other than that, they do not have a real time means of providing timely information to parents. They do not have a website, social media presence or email list for parent information. They will not provide any kind of regular feedback regarding how your child is doing or how your child is progressing, even though parents have requested it. Your child may learn a little when he moves to an older class but he stagnates during the school year because younger children are moved into his class & the class goes back to the material for the younger children instead of taking steps to ensure the older children in the class continue to progress. They seem to be overcrowded. The before and after care and the drop ins seem to take their numbers to more than they can handle. Stop by in the mornings and you will see children of all ages - 2 through school age - mixing together in a chaotic environment with minimal supervision or in the evenings they may be watching TV on a screen the size of a 20 inch computer screen. Some classes share a room separated by a few blocks. It is a lot of children in a small space. The friendliness and kindness of the staff & the way they teach the other children to be friendly towards each other & greet each other warmly mean that your child will enjoy this place but as a parent, the failure to regularly communicate might leave you frustrated, as a general matter & with concerns that your child is not being taught to his potential because of the lack of communication and feedback & the failure/inability to manage the progress of each child as younger children enter the classes.
