Exceptional Care and Learning at Owings Mills KinderCare!…read more As a Community Outreach Director for Children's Specialized ABA Therapy, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Owings Mills KinderCare! From the moment we stepped through the doors, we felt welcomed and reassured that every child was in the best hands. The staff is incredibly warm, attentive, and dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive. The teachers go above and beyond to make learning fun and engaging, fostering both academic growth and social development. Our child has blossomed under their care, gaining confidence, new skills, and a love for learning. The facility is clean, safe, and thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration and creativity. Children's Specialized ABA Therapy is pleased to partner with Brittany, Arica and their team at Owings Mills KinderCare.

My son has excelled tremendously. He enjoys going to school and has made friends there. KinderCare makes learning enjoyable. He is currently in Ms. Allison's classroom.

It is obvious she enjoys teaching and spending time with the children.

The people there now are AWESOME, from the top down. The center director and assistant are very friendly. The center director in particular is a major reason we have stuck around this long. She has really turned the place around. Some of the staff we were concerned about, have all filtered out over the years. Our kids love the teachers that they have been with. Everyone there is happy, friendly, and good with our kids. They establish rules for kids, like no toys from home; and keep true to their word for the kids. Every Christmas, they do a Winter Gala, and get every kid involved in singing, dancing, etc. Professional pictures are done multiple times per year, so if your kid misses one, there is always another in a few months. They have held magic shows, reptile shows, soccer shots events, etc. There have been Saturday events for the kids for Easter / Spring, etc. Kids get one or two outside play times, weather depending. Breakfast, Lunch, and a snack are served for kids. They are allergy conscious too. Nap time / Quiet time is in place, and the kids respect that. All of the teachers have to pass certifications, you can see them hung around the center. There is a bus for children that need to be driven to school. We recommend this place to anyone who is looking for structured child care! The location is easily accessible too, with additional parking around the side if needed.

From day one, the staff felt like extended family. They treated our children with genuine care, respect, and love, creating a nurturing environment where our kids thrived. Brenda and Eric, the owners, have always gone above and beyond to accommodate our family's needs. They were approachable, kind, and genuinely invested in each child's development. They've also built a strong community through thoughtful events like Dogs for Dads on Father's Day, Mother's Day celebrations, fun date nights, trunk-or-treat and graduations. Academically and socially, our children left Goddard more than ready for kindergarten and well ahead of their peers. The foundation they received there has had a lasting impact on their confidence and love of learning. We will always be grateful for the safe, enriching, and loving environment Goddard provided for our children. It truly became a second home, and we can't recommend it highly enough.

The most honest review of this facility comes from the students who go there. The graduation…read moreceremony was on Thursday and one of the presentations included video clips of each graduate stating what they wanted to be as a grown up. An answer that kept popping up: a teacher. That told my husband and I that the kids themselves truly admire and like the staff here. We've seen the advances in reading, math, shapes, colors, etc. over time but the joy she has in going to school wasn't to learn.. it was being with the teachers and class... which makes learning fun. Hats off to Mr. Eric, Ms. Brenda, Ms. Jess, and Ms. Laurel. They do a fantastic job in maintaining a secure facility, strong communication, fun learning, and a great attitude.

I usually watch my daughter on camera throughout the day while at work. It brings peace of mind that I can take part in her day without being intrusive.

She has made numerous improvements and has turned things around 360 degrees! The new owner has implemented more healthy meals, enhanced the appearance of the center and cultivated a positive learning environment! We have built great relationships over the last 3 years and for that I am grateful.

I would definitely recommend this center to any parent who has an active little one.

My son attended the Young School at Honeygo Plaza for about a year of pre-k. He had a good…read moreexperience and left much better prepared for the classroom structure of kindergarten. This school takes a more curriculum/teaching-oriented approach rather than simple "day care". They follow a pedagogical philosophy similar to Montessori, emphasizing freedom and harnessing each child's own specific interests and motivations. The biggest strength of YS is the outstanding teaching staff, all of whom care deeply about the well-being and growth of the children. The different teachers within the "cottage" of four adjoining classrooms developed individual connections with my son and the other children, knowing well their various interests and quirks. The pre-k cottage director, Ms. Jess oversees the classrooms with expertise and a deep sense of empathy. She effectively fields informal chats with parents about questions and concerns that pop up on the fly. Between the wonderful teachers and cottage director, I always felt that my child was in very safe and nurturing hands. The classroom atmosphere is warm and inviting. There is lots of natural light and many learning stations with carefully thought-out objects left for the children to "discover". Kids get zero screen time at the Young School. Instead of punishing children, behavior is managed through redirection and talking.  Healthy snacks are offered, and the staff teaches and practices good hygiene. The main area that could be improved upon is communication from the director. On several occasions, I received mass emails chastising (unnamed) other parents for taking screenshots of the live video feed, requesting child-specific changes to naptime logistics, incorrectly using cubby space, and calling in to the classroom during non-naptime hours. ("Any parent disrupting the day too frequently will lose camera access and a parent meeting will be requested.") I would prefer these types of issues be resolved by one-on-one conversations with the relevant parents, rather than public shaming. The unprofessional tone of these emails was underscored by a lack of basic proofreading. My child's classroom had high turnover, with three different teachers in a six-month period. Shockingly, when one left and was replaced by a brand new employee, parents were not given any notice whatsoever. I showed up one morning to drop off my son in his classroom and encountered a total stranger who claimed to be in charge. Luckily, another teacher was in the cottage area and vouched for the new teacher's legitimacy. Lack of preemptive communication on this type of matter is unacceptable. Another instance of poor communication occurred when initially attempting to enroll my child. The paperwork was confusing and I had trouble getting questions answered, as other reviews have noted. Overall, I recommend the Young School as a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for child; parents may have to deal with some unneccesary hassles.

I've received no phone call from the owners to discuss the experience. parents beware!
