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.

Our son has been going here for a little over a year after 3 other previous centers. The staff at Goddard has been so supportive and I feel they are having a huge impact on his rapid educational and personal advancements. I cannot recommend Goddard in Edgewater enough!

I run an after school martial arts program and one of the schools we pick up from is the Naval…read moreAcademy Primary School (NAPS for short). Parents ask me all the time which school gets the most out of their students. My answer is always the same; NAPS. This is the best run, most efficient, and nicest school you'll ever come across, period. I don't know much about how tuition works or any of that but I'm sure it's expensive to send your child here and for good reason, you get what you pay for. The quality of the education your son or daughter receives stands head and shoulders above the rest. I'm not saying other schools in the area are garbage or anything like that. I'm not putting other schools down let me be clear. Just that in my years of experience working with kids in after school, the teachers and administrators at NAPS do a better job than most. If you care about your child's future then definitely check this school out. I give them two thumbs up!

NAPS is a warm and welcoming school. The teachers are phenomenal, the curriculum is rigorous, and…read morethe children are kind and friendly. The staff is responsive and helpful. I particularly like that social/emotional learning is a major focus at NAPS. Intentionally building and teaching character is very important to me. Great school!

Our son recently started at AGP, following a very disheartening and negative experience with his…read moreprevious center. We were very anxious about the transition, but after days of interviewing multiple options, we realized the amount of trust that we had already placed in AGP- prior to him even beginning. Two weeks in, our son has truly never been happier or thriving more socially and developmentally. The day he began at AGP he was already saying his teachers name, and within the week he came home speaking 5 new words. He is showered with love and support every day, is introduced and exposed to new learning methods and interactivities, and my husband and I receive consistent daily communication (with pictures) of his day. What began as an unbelievably stressful time in our lives has resulted in the most beautiful partnership with APG, and a 19 month old who is finally in an environment he feels his happiest. We could not recommend Ms. Meka and Ms. Aanisa more highly.

He likes being dropped off and picked up right at his classroom door, reassured that I know where his classroom is. Every class day, he gets to be creative with arts and crafts, sing and dance to music, get some play time outside, learn some Spanish, learn his numbers, letters, days of the week, holidays, etc. have snack time with his friends, and lifelong lessons all in a tight-knit, smaller classroom size school. He was able to celebrate holidays they way they should be.

Tucked away in a family oriented neighborhood with the city's police right down the street, I have peace of mind and happiness sending our son to this school. The most important thing about this school is that it makes our son happy, which matters most.

In fact, even though we pick up on the later end, he always tells me that he was having fun up until the last moment. When we have raised concerns, each has been promptly addressed.

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!

My daughter is always excited to go to see Isatu.

You know, actually having someone who LIKES babies taking care of babies! The new instructors were Ms. Cathy and Ms. Irene, both of whom seemed to care greatly for each individual baby and his/her needs. The care for better with them. My baby grew and started interacting better, and those two continued to encourage her to explore while maintaining a watchful, safety eye. I do still feel that the pre-toddlers are a little old for that room. I know some places move the babies out to a different room when they're 12 months AND can walk. My only other complaint, and it's not so much the staff, but in the summer, there are quite a number of ants inside the rooms. I'm sure that just comes with the location. Or maybe Fort Meade can put it in their budget to update the building.
