I would consider them the best childcare facility in QA county. They have ALWAYS provided clear lines of communication. They have held my child through tough days.

It would be nice to have a good provider other than Sysco, but I also understand the cost behind feeding many mouths while keeping prices affordable.

I can not tell you how pleased I am with them. They are so patient and great with the children. My daughter is very particular on who she gets close with but took to them right away.

We can't say enough about Premier. We moved our children from another local daycare in September…read moreand have seen a radical change in their happiness on a daily basis. After two weeks at their new school any hesitation of being dropped off in a new environment was gone. For the first time ever my 4 year old got in the car and began telling me about what she learned at school, this was after one week of attendance. The classrooms are very well maintained, the school has a curriculum and they share it with parents, there are lots of unique activities for kids, including horse rides every Friday, field trips, Spanish, music and movement classes. We are so happy we switched to Premier! If you are on the fence about a daycare we definitely recommend stopping by to visit the center!

The Learning Tree Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family. Both of my children…read moreattended - my daughter from ages 2 to 4 and my son from 1 to 2 - and I cannot recommend them enough. From day one, the teachers at Learning Tree made my somewhat shy child feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My daughter had a speech delay, and the patience, support, and encouragement she received there helped her so so much. They don't just focus on academics or rigid schedules; they teach kindness, social skills, and everyday life lessons that are just as important as ABCs and 123s at this stage. More than anything, the kids are genuinely *LOVED* - and that makes all the difference. As a working parent, I truly could not have had my career without the trust and peace of mind that Learning Tree provided. They are very reasonably priced, and the new (in 2025) owners and management of the building are just as wonderful as the teachers - professional, kind, and supportive. In 2025 they did a ton of renovations with all brand new floors, classroom toys & supplies, and a brand new outdoor playground with a new fence. Payment is simple and stress-free through their online portal, and the app they use makes communication effortless. Getting pictures and videos throughout the day was such a gift...it warmed my heart to see my kids smiling, playing, and learning in real time. They use a key fob system to enter the building and you have to go through multiple check-points, it is very safe. Before finding Learning Tree, we tried other daycare options in Annapolis that felt cold, too strict, and more like a prison for toddlers than a nurturing environment. Learning Tree was the complete opposite - warm, family-oriented, and rooted in decades of experience. The teachers are unmatched, which is why they've been trusted by families for over 30 years. At the end of the day, these are children - they don't need to learn rocket science, they need to feel LOVED, supported and SAFE. Special shoutouts to Miss Yolanda and Miss Dominique, who went above and beyond every single day. Their dedication, warmth, and love are the heart of the Learning Tree community. If you're looking for a daycare that understands what children need, and will genuinely take care of them as if they were their own - then The Learning Tree is it. I cannot recommend them enough!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with The Learning Tree. From the moment we…read morewalked in, it just felt right. The teachers greet our daughter by name each morning, and it's clear they truly care about each child as an individual. She's come home each day brimming with stories, songs, and new things she's learned--not to mention the adorable art projects we now have proudly displayed all over the house. Watching her blossom socially and emotionally in such a nurturing space has been so reassuring. She's made real friendships and grown in confidence, and I credit so much of that to the gentle, encouraging environment this preschool provides. Communication with the staff has been amazing too--thoughtful updates, photos, and genuine interest in how she's doing. It's one thing to know your child is safe... it's another to know she's truly happy. This place gives us that peace of mind every single day.

Our children started attending Goddard in June 2019, when we moved to the area, and our family's…read moreexperience over the last 3 year has been nothing short of exceptional. Our children were 2 and 4 at the beginning and throughout our time at Goddard, teachers and the leadership team have been dedicated and strong partners in building a school community that is enriching, encouraging and educational for all students. Goddard teachers are exceptional, they make a concerted effort to develop relationships with their students and their families, and day to day activities are thoughtful, engaging, and focused on learning. Our kids often had much to say about what they did at school that day and we greatly enjoyed seeing their photos and the outline of their day through the Tadpoles application. The Goddard leadership team was always accessible and available. Their commitment to consistent and transparent communication was something we valued and certainly, as we progressed through different stages of the pandemic, their frequent updates and willingness to listen and discuss policies and actions taken speaks to their integrity and interest in keeping students in class and well. Beyond the staff, the Goddard facility is impeccable, it's clean and fully furnished with books, toys, and learning resources. While our time at Goddard is ending, we are so glad to share our family's experience, and encourage all seeking child care to visit, take a tour, and meet the staff.

I've been extremely patient with them however, it seems they are only concerned about money. They have changed their hours from 6:30am-6pm to 7am-5pm with the intention and promise of returning only now to say they are short staff and will not return. I have worked with them and I believe I have been extremely patient. Whenever you mention compensation for services they are no longer providing the owner mention she has to pay her staff. Primrose is short staff and lack quality teachers. Teachers appear to be young and uninterested in the development of young children. Owner lacks experience as well. She appears to be making thing up as she goes. In my opinion, to keep mentioning you have to pay your staff is in poor taste and she has no regards for parents and the amount of money being spent. I would pull my child out but because it is mid/end of school year I am letting her finish. I do not plan to do business with them again. Very disappointed.

Disappointed in the management and question their integrity…read more Reserved an Aug2015 spot for our son (under 2) in Feb2015 on the recommendation of their staff to ensure we got him in. This was a contingency plan based on retiring from the Marine Corps and staying in the area. I paid $1876 and was aware of their zero refund policy for under 2 care. On 5Jun2015 (approx 2 months before our son was supposed to begin), we notified the Goddard School that we would be moving to PA and not using our spot. We inquired about getting partial refund on our deposit and thought this was reasonable given the advance notice we gave them. We were told "no" within hours of making the request. The Goddard School had an opportunity to help out a retiring service person. I wasn't so much looking for the Goddard School to lose income on our situation but rather help create a win-win solution for both of us by attempting to fill the spot with another child. If they would looked for even a week, this situation would have turned out on a positive note. In my BBB complaint, Ms Patel claims she and her staff had no idea that I was in the service. That isn't a true statement but it really shouldn't matter. Ms Patel also states that after hearing I would be given zero refund that that I asked to keep the spot reserved. This is a true statement but has no bearing on the case at hand. Where is the formal letter I requested stating that you're company did not double book my son's spot? Ms Patel, I was impressed with your staff but you handled this situation wrong and had multiple chances to make it right. Why didn't you talk to me personally about this? Single instances like this separate good businesses from great businesses. Bottom line: - Why did Arnold, MD Goddard school recommend that we reserve a spot 6 months out? How hard would it have been to fill our spot given we gave them 2 months advance and the timing of the spot (Aug when summers are ending). - How much effort did they Arnold, MD Goddard School put into helping my family solve our problem? - $1876 for ZERO SERVICES RENDERED....this didn't have to happen.
