“It’s not easy for me to trust anyone with my babies, but Perfect Angels has truly made me feel at ease. My kids love going and that alone gives me a peace of mind.

The staff is caring, attentive, and supportive. They quickly saw that my children were advanced and put them in the right environment to help them continue to grow and thrive.

Of course, no place is perfect, but any concerns I’ve had were handled quickly and with understanding by the owners.

As a mom who is very cautious about who I leave my children with, I can honestly say I 100% recommend this center.”

“I had such a wonderful time at the trapeze class. The class was a mix of all levels and it was awesome to see what you could work towards. People of all ages showed up and everyone had a wonderful time together and were so encouraging. I will definitely be back with my kids and to bring friends. This is an amazing experience and the staff make you feel at home.”

“One thing I truly love about The Goddard School is how safe, loving, and welcoming they are. My daughter lights up and smiles every time she sees her teacher, and I appreciate that the other teachers also know and acknowledge her. It makes me feel like she is genuinely cared for and not just another child in the classroom.

The school is always very clean and sanitary, which gives me peace of mind as a parent because tiny humans somehow attract germs like they’re running a scientific experiment sponsored by applesauce and coughs. I also really appreciate how hands-on the directors are. They are always willing to step in and help whenever needed, and you can tell they truly care about the children and the environment they create.

I also love the learning curriculum they provide. I can see how much my daughter is learning and growing every day through hands-on activities, social interaction, and structured lessons that are still fun and engaging for the children. It gives me comfort knowing she is not only being cared for but is also developing important skills and building a strong educational foundation at such a young age.

Another thing I appreciate is the sign-in and sign-out process because it adds an extra layer of security and organization. Communication is also excellent. The app they use keeps parents updated throughout the day, which helps me feel connected and reassured while my daughter is there. Overall, my experience has been amazing, and I’m grateful my daughter is in such a caring environment.”

“Miss Jessica went above and beyond during the snowstorm by hosting a virtual session for the kids. It was such a thoughtful and creative way to keep them connected while they were home from school. The children were able to interact with one another, enjoy a virtual lunch chat, and take part in a short, fun fitness activity—all through Zoom. The session was engaging, well-organized, and exactly what the kids needed. We truly appreciate Miss Jessica’s dedication and creativity.”

“This daycare is absolutely amazing. The entire staff is dedicated to their craft on making sure our children has the best learning experience while nurturing them like their own. My daughter is so in love with this daycare that she can't wait until mornings to go see her friends. The staff embrace her each morning with love that I am proud to call this daycare home away from home. Don't mistake this awesome daycare facility with the terrible daycare in Oxon Hill where the teacher abuses the innocent children. No not that daycare. First Learning Stages Daycare rocks!!!”

“I have not found anything wrong with this daycare, the curriculum is great, my child has shown clear signs that he's learning and engaging in the curriculum. They have family friendly events that are amazing!!!! The center director and staff are very much engaged and keep the families very well informed.”

“This center really knows what they’re doing! I’ve been with them for almost as long as they’ve been open and have never sent my children anywhere else because I’ve never had to….They had my son reading before he entered pre-k and I know they are the foundation to his love for learning. They have a proven curriculum and are amazing teachers. I moved to PG county and still drove down everyday to take my daughter because I knew it was the best place for her. I’ve always trusted them; they take the responsibility very serious. They plan fun and interactive lessons for the kids and can deal with children of all different learning levels. Ms. Woodland,Ms. Sherita and Ms.Kathy are amazing and love my kids like their own. When I’m at work, I know they are in the best hands and as a momma bear that’s one of the best feeling ever!”

“We had a good experience with KinderCare. Our child attended for one year and we definitely saw major growth. I like that there is an app that allows you to see pictures and videos of your child during the day. The teachers and the Center Director truly care about the kids.”

The teachers' genuine kindness and warmth embraced our son from the start, creating a safe and loving environment where he has thrived. The seamless updates through Brightwheel have kept us connected throughout the day, providing real-time insights into his activities and milestones. Overall, our journey with University for Kids has been positive, thanks to the dedicated team's professionalism, care, and unwavering commitment to our son's happiness and development. We're grateful for the impact they've had.”

“Northeast Stars is wonderful. We had some issues with a previous daycare and decided to switch and we immediately saw improvement in our little man. He had been on the verge of talking for a couple months and within a month of NE Stars his talking greatly improved. He has become so self sufficient and I contribute that to NE Stars. He is excited to go to “school” every day and it is comforting to know he is somewhere safe where he can grow and build relationships with his friends. The staff are extremely flexible and communicate everything efficiently - you never feel out of the loop. We are honestly sad to be leaving for Pre-K 3. If you are looking for a daycare with a safe, structured environment this is the place for you and your little one.”

“I love my baby girl daycare ❤️ she always happy to go to class in the morning. They had her since she was 5 months ago and she now turning 2 . I thank God for this place .”

“I highly recommend Tiny Findings. The teachers and staff are friendly, responsive, and provide frequent updates about our child’s day through an app. The teachers are also great about keeping us up to date on developmental milestones and age-appropriate activities that the kids do during the day. The leadership staff is so kind and hands on — they all know our child’s name. Our child is always happy when we pick him up, and he seems to be extremely well cared for. We love Tiny Findings!”

“JAYCEE’S IS AWESOME ALL OF THE TEACHERS ARE AMAZING!!!!! My child started in January at 5 months. I was very nervous but quickly those nerves were gone!! THESE TEACHERS LOVE WHAT THEY DO BUT THEY TREAT ALL THE KIDS LIKE THEIR OWN!! It doesn’t matter what time of the day I pick my child up those babies are always being taught, entertained, have new activities and anything you can think of these teachers go above and beyond!! I have a newborn on the way and she will be attending and I know she will be in very good hands! My child now never wants to leave at the end of the day and I love that!! It shows he’s truly loved on!!”

“My daughter started this year in the Pre K 3 classroom. She is so well taken care of. In less than two months she talks more, she feels loved and considered, can nearly count to 20, shows so much more maturity that I could have imagined in such a short time. I love every staff member and feel so grateful to have found this school!”

“My 3 oldest children attend this school and it is the best decision I ever made for their education. This is a Christian family environment. I feel safe leaving my children with them. And they are receiving an amazing education.”

“My 3 kids just started this daycare Monday and so far all they have told me is good things !! When my kids happy I’m HAPPY !! And it’s close to my house that’s a PLUS literally 6 min walk ??? and they feed my kids there the other daycare they was at didn’t !!”

“4 stars because there is always room for improvement. I have two boys here at Beddow (Primary and Lower El) currently. We landed here after searching high and low for the right fit for our "different learner" and then, in the midst of COVID this was one of the few fully in-person options. We are so happy. The school began the year under new leadership. Ms Cotone is wonderful! The change was hard for some but the school not only weathered both the changes and the pandemic, but from our perspective our boys are truly thriving there. We look forward with anticipation to see what next year brings!”
