We enrolled our son Teddy at the center from when he was 1 to 2 and a half. The center has very caring and engaged teachers. The center does a good job with Covid protocols and keeping us updated daily with pictures. The bi-annual parent-teacher conference is also much appreciated. Our son comes home with something new every week, whether it be a new song or reciting the entire solar system. Our family and I would like to shout out a big thank you to Ms Tochi and the center for doing a great job. Even 2 weeks after we move and had to switch our son to another daycare, he still says that he really misses Ms. Tochi's class. read more

*Broschart/ShadyGrove location* My son has been with the center since he was an infant and we truly appreciate the love he endures each and everyday. As an added bonus, meals/snacks are included, daily updates (with pictures), payments are done online, and minor issues are addressed immediately. My son has allergies and enzyme and the center has gone over and beyond to accommodate him. Your child will be in great hands at Nanda Learning Center. Each child is treated like family. Thank you to Mr. Mohammad and his amazing staff (especially Ms. Aliyah) for their exceptional service and the comfort you provide to us. read more

Please don't put your baby here because: 1. Owner just think about money. He keeps your baby in lower classroom with excuses such as " yes, your baby can walk but he is not mentally ready to go to the toddler room.". Then they can charge you more. 2. They don't put the camera or send you daily photos because they don't want you to know a lot. They keep your 11 month baby with 1 month baby in the same room, Nurses stay busy changing diapers of 1 month baby and no one care about 11 month baby with diaper full of poop playing alone." . At the end your baby always has a diaper rash. 3. Infant room doesn't have any window that you can go and see your baby. Imagine as a mom you like to see your baby without him seeing you. You don't want your baby seeing you because he is just a baby and he starts crying. Owner divided the area somehow that you can see 2es which are happy and playing all the time but you can access to your infant. Don't put your baby in such a places without a camera or any updated photos. 4. All the kids in this daycare live with together. No separate room. If one gets chicken pox, all will get. Please don't put your baby there. No health or hygienic regulation exists there. 5. If you want to pay for coming year and reserve, they increased their prices from $360 to $ 400 for infant and activity fee from $150 to $300. read more

Our son is currently in preschool at the Broschart location, but has been going to Nanda full time since he was 16 weeks old. We've been very happy to put our son in this center's care. Any minor issues we've had have been far outweighed by how loving the staff has been and how much our son has learned during his time there. He gets exposed to a lot of new topics, ideas, and activities without anything feeling too 'academic' for the age-group, and has made good friends. It is also pretty affordable relative to other centers in this area, especially given that it provides meals. The facilities are county owned, so pretty small and no-frills (the Traville building is nicer), but it hasn't mattered. One thing we've also appreciated is the diversity of both the staff and the kids/families who go here. read more

Shawn B.'s rating of 1 star is unwarranted - check her 1 other review to see that this person does not seem hirable - she complains about 2 daycares that appeared to not like her and therefore did not employ her. Anyone who knows childcare knows that it is a high-turnover industry. Many work at daycares as a stepping stone while they are pursuing degrees in education and early childhood development. It is also stressful work at low pay and usually no benefits. Yes, Nanda has some turnover but check every other early childhood facility and you will see they have it too. Nanda in fact has some teachers who have been there for 10+ years. My 2 children went to Nanda for many years, going from the infant room to toddler room to 3s room and finally preschool. Nanda may not be the snazziest and best-outfitted facility, but its strength lies in something that is far more important to me than new computers and a new building: love. The teachers treat each other and the kids like family. That culture comes from the top down - the owner. He treats his employees like family. And what Nanda may lack in shiny new equipment, they make up for in hugs and nurturing. Over the years, with changes to our growing family and our needs, they have been very flexible and accommodating. Like any business, there are occasional communication shortfalls and other things that could be improved (for example, there is often confusion around things like what time a bus is leaving for a field trip and details like that - but I am chronically late bad they have always waited for me - texting me to hurt up ). Having been with Nanda for 6 years now, I can say they have been able to accommodate our needs and changes over the years as if they are friends of the family and not business owners. They treat us like family first, and customers second. If you can see learn to see past some minor issues and are looking for a place where you will be treated like part of a family (and what family is perfect?), Nanda is for you. read more

***This review is for the Traville location*** My wife and have been sending our now 19 month old to Nanda at Traville since she was 5 months old. WE LOVE THIS DAYCARE CENTER!!! The staff is wonderful, they really care about the children, and you can tell that they truly love the kids they care for. Our daughter is always excited to arrive in the morning and sometimes when I pick her up, she doesn't want to leave! They provide meals for the toddlers, but because we are raising our daughter vegetarian, we send her homemade meals, and the teachers are happy to feed her when it's food that she's not able to eat without assistance. Mr. Mohamed and Rana are always pleasant to interact with, and whenever we've had concerns that were brought up to either one of them, or even to one of the teachers' in our daughter's classroom, they have been addressed immediately. Having worked as a worker at child protective services in the past, I have a very observing eye when it comes to how people deal with and interact with children, and I absolutely have no concerns about my daughter's well being and safety while she is at Nanda. They also have many activities throughout the year that include the entire family, like the spring fair, special activities on mother's and father's day, grandparent's day, halloween celebrations, valentine celebrations and other activities that include the family, plus (and this is a big one) they don't mind if you drop by in the middle of the day to visit your child if you are able to. Our daughter has learned a lot and we look forward to keeping her at Nanda all through preschool! read more

There are 3 wonderful locations around Montgomery county and I have met the lead teachers/ assistants there. They are all qualified and have either a degree in early childhood or certifications with lots of experience with children. They are very respectful, humble, diverse professionals and always do their best to make you feel like family. I would recommend this center to anyone family or starting a family. They really do love the children like their own. read more

*This review is for Shady Grove location* I got to learn about Nanda learning center from a networking partner and when I was told the owner operates 3 daycare centers, I was not really thrilled since that would mean more business-like institution, and that the owner would care about financial aspect of things looking at the kids as numbers. On the other hand, we had an unpleasant experience with a family daycare (the owner had not revealed a presence of a cat in the house), so, I was thinking, at least in a business setting there would not be cats... When I first talked to Mohamad(The owner), this whole perception of a business-like institution went away, he was able to address my concerns, and I immediately scheduled a tour of their Shady Grove center. What my picky wife and I saw really impressed us, and let me tell you, I think I have made one of my best decisions this year so far. Not only is Mohamad available whenever I need to ask him a question, but the same is true with the teachers, they have an app, in which all my kid's activity and beautiful pictures are uploaded several times a day. Whenever I go to pick up or drop off my child all the teachers greet and treat me like a family member! I would highly recommend Nanda learning center's Shady Grove location. Mohamad and crew, keep up the great work! read more

The teachers are good. Food maybe is okay. Asked parent to help with paying some structures built up for the daycare. In the beginning was good but greedy later on for sure. Not really recommended. read more

*** This reviews is for Traville location. This daycare is amazing!!! Nothing is more important to the parent, than knowing that your child(ren) is safe and cared for for 9 to 10 hours a day while you're working! I have two sons who attend Nanda's, 3 y/o and 7 m/o. My 3 y/o started when he was 10 months, and my youngest at 5 months. The teachers that my oldest son had are pretty much the same as my little one has. Which is amazing! The turnover is very very low, which speaks volumes about the management and their personal satisfaction, which is transferred onto the children. I don't know how they measure the love levels of the teachers, but they ALL love the kids. You just feel it and see it through their hugs, kisses and smiles. We moved a little further away from the center, but I refused to switch the daycare! The review from Sara H. must be driven by some personal motives. Yes, daycare is not cheap, especially if you have two children attending. But it is still WAY more affordable than many other child care centers in the North Potomac/Rockville area! If you've done the research like I had, you'd know. The lay out is well thought out. Rooms have separations. Infant room doesn't have windows, but that's fine! It is as separated as much as possible to provide some privacy and quietness to the little ones as they nap at any time of the day. You'd know that babies are on their own schedule and providing them with a quiet environment, is crucial! You can easily spy on your baby without them seeing you! Babies and kids go outside at least twice a day, unless it is very hot, cold, raining or snowing. The food is served hot and is very nutritious and healthy. I just can't stop to keep praising this daycare. I've been their customer/family for almost three years! Trust me, if something was wrong, I would have noticed it myself or through my children. I know that choosing a daycare for your child is hard, I've been there. But if you're reading this and considering the feedbacks, my review is sincere and filled with heartwarming feelings. I feel blessed to have found this place!!! read more

I want to give it up to Nanda both management and staff. NOT just great program but an open heart. My child attended Nanda for 3 years now. He is learning so much and loves every day there. This is what you would expect at any quality center. When I lost my job and couldn't afford to pay the tuition anymore, I gave them my 2 weeks notice. Mr. Mohamad took me to the office and he told me that he would not loose a family member because they can't afford tuition. He helped me with the tuition until I got my new job. Even then, they helped me with payments until I caught up. This is not just the attitude of Mr. Mohamad, but every staff member who works there. I have been there for over 3 years now and my child will graduate next year. I am thankful because there is a place like Nanda. They have hearts and they really focus on education. BTW, I am not the only story like this over there, they have helped many people in our situation read more
