We've never used a daycare before, neither for my youngest or my oldest, so we looked hard to find…read morethe perfect place for my rambunctious 2 year old. Unlike my oldest (who's now 12), my littles is one that is always up to something and getting into something, so it was important to find a place that would really have that extra special watchful eye. We saw signs for one opening soon and we met with Kelly and loved what we heard, so we signed up. We started here when they opened in late October,2022. From the start, my daughter absolutely loved it despite drop-off at the beginning not being so smooth with her. Her first teachers Colleen and Riley really helped her with becoming acclimated and comfortable with being there. This entire staff is amazing and it truly feels like they genuinely care for my child. We get daily updates on what's happening during her day and even pictures. She's learning so much and they have so much patience with her, she's quite the overactive child. She loves coming as she learns so much, always something going on. Honestly, we could not have chosen a better place... it doesn't feel like a daycare but like family is taking care of my kid. We are unfortunately leaving at the end of next month due to job relocation, and I really worry I won't find a place just as wonderful and caring as Celebree Elkridge. I don't know if I'll find the same care and attention, most important the tranquility I have knowing THEY are the ones caring for my baby, when we move and seek a new daycare school. The fact that I am even writing a review should tell you lots because I'm not one to, but with this place I truly feel they deserve it!

The staff turnover is so high. they can't keep staff for more than 6 months, and that is not good for the kids. the carpets in the room are never cleaned, there are poop stains on the rugs in the rooms, vomit stains . the employees seem over worked and tired all the time. the owner does not care about the upkeep of her facility at all or the cleanliness. the toys and school equipment is outdated and it looks like the water fountain for the kids outside is being held together by TAPE. the only good thing about this "school" if you want to even call it that is the baby room and the cook stacey but you can get that somewhere else and save yourself the money. too many other good options for the area.

My child was enrolled here for several months, and while there were a few positive interactions…read morewith some caring teachers, my overall experience raised serious concerns. The biggest issue was inconsistent basic care, specifically around diapering and hygiene. There were multiple occasions where my child was not changed in a timely manner, including at pickup. This led to repeated and severe diaper rash that required medical attention. This was not a one-time incident, but a pattern. In the two's classroom, under Ms. Shy, these issues were especially noticeable. Despite raising concerns multiple times, there was little consistency in improvement and retaliation to the parents and the children. Ms. Yamuna is amazing!! I also observed safety concerns, including cleaning products being left within reach of very young children. For a toddler environment, this is unacceptable. What was most frustrating was the response from administration. Concerns were acknowledged, but addressing them required repeated follow-ups and extensive back-and-forth. It did not feel like there was a strong commitment to making consistent changes. Additionally, some of these concerns actually reflect issues that had been documented previously at the state level, which made the lack of improvement even more concerning. To be fair, not all staff contributed to this experience. However, the inconsistency in care and lack of accountability ultimately led me to withdraw my child. I'm sharing this so other parents can ask informed questions and make the best decision for their child.

We were here with my oldest from 2019-2022 when the shut down happened. The director and assistant…read moredirector moved on in their careers at the same time and a lot of teachers left with them which caused issues. We left the center with my oldest from 2022-2024 and my youngest, 2 yo was with her older sister at another center. Last summer/fall a lot of issues started with my youngest at the other Center and it was having a negative effect on her in multiple ways. We pulled her out and decided to return to Kindercare Elkridge and are so glad we did. Since the shutdown, management changed again and improved. Ms Christina was one of my oldests infant teachers so we already knew she cared about the kids and really knew her stuff. Ms Amanda is the new director and we love how she'd rather build the center back up slowly, even if it means keeping a few classrooms closed until she can find quality teachers, rather than rush to fill rooms with warm bodies. They're really trying to restore kindercare to its previous glory. And the 2s teachers Ms Heather and Ms Chelsea are fantastic. The issues my 2 yo was having at the other center have improved significantly and these teachers have really partnered with us to help her. But it's also clear they see and care about her as an individual. We couldn't ask for better teachers who understand this tough age and love and care about the kids like their own. She receives quality instruction in a nurturing environment and has even been branching out and trying new foods thanks to their provided lunches! For a little more money than we were paying at our previous center (where only snacks were provided and most were just processed carbs), now she gets breakfast, lunch and snack provided, with a lot of variety and they actually cook stuff on site. We're so glad we returned. It felt like coming back home.

We had a very troubling experience with this Goddard School…read more We disclosed our son's ADHD prior to enrollment and explained that his medication was actively being adjusted. Despite this, he was given only a few days to acclimate before being sent home, briefly allowed back after a meeting, and then dismissed entirely -- without a reasonable adjustment period or meaningful accommodations. His twin sibling was allowed to remain enrolled. During one meeting, the owner, Melvise Powell, yelled at my husband and me and abruptly told us to leave her office. We also became aware that another individual appeared to be listening in via the office phone without our knowledge, which raised serious concerns under Maryland's two-party consent law. When this was pointed out, the meeting was immediately ended and we were ordered out. Additionally, our daughter later reported that an employee would pinch her when she did not nap, which we found extremely alarming and concerning. ADHD is a recognized disability under the ADA, and excluding a child without attempting reasonable accommodations -- combined with unprofessional conduct and concerning reports about staff behavior -- raises serious concerns. Based on our experience, the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional, and families should steer clear of this school!!

We particularly like the SproutAbout app which provides regular activity updates on everything from bottle feeding to activities which makes us feel like we are involved even while away and provides a sense of security in understanding what transpires during the day.

The children are able to water flowers and do arrangements, have access to beautiful grounds and nature. Highly recommend and if location / travel time from where we live in Columbia was more feasible would have enrolled our daughter. A must for any parent looking for AMI teaching!!!
