“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.”

“Our daughter recently started at Vinci and so far we could not be happier! The curriculum is great, and the care the teachers show for the children is evident -- our daughter is always excited to go to class each day. Special shoutout to Ms. Athena and Ms. Janeth, who both take great care of our daughter and who our daughter talks about constantly. I definitely feel peace of mind knowing she is with wonderful teachers who are looking out for her and helping her grow each day!”

“We are very grateful my daughter to come everyday and have a lot off growing her skills great teachers and bright start members. Thank you so much for everything ❤️”

“I came into tech from a completely different world — catastrophe adjusting. For years, I traveled across the country helping people recover from major disasters, but over time I wanted a career that challenged me mentally instead of physically. With my engineering background and growing interest in Linux and cloud infrastructure, I knew I needed a structured program that went beyond just earning certifications.

That’s what led me to Yellow Tail Tech. Their program doesn’t just teach theory — it includes networking, Security+, RHCSA, RHCE prep, and an actual apprenticeship that gives you real-world experience. The instructors I had (Alfred and Riky) were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping every student succeed, even when I was balancing long work hours with classes.

What really makes Yellow Tail Tech stand out is how much they emphasize understanding the why behind every command and concept. That strong foundation gave me the confidence to step into IT, ready to contribute from day one. I was able to obtain my RHCSA certification on the first attempt!

If you’re serious about making the jump into tech — especially Linux or cloud — Yellow Tail Tech gives you the structure, support, and skills to actually make it happen.”

“My Experience Was Absolutely Phenomenal. From enrollment to graduation! I have received everything I need to be a SUCCESS in the Nail Industry ?? Huge Thank You To My Instructor Elise! YOU GLOW GIRL”

“We enrolled our daughter here when she was just about 2 years old. As many parents, I was extremely nervous and hesitant. However, from the very beginning the staff was extremely personable and reassuring. As a mom, you want to feel that your child is safe, loved, and in a nurturing environment. The staff here made sure that we felt reassured and confident that our daughter was in good hands which made the transition easier.

Since starting here, I have noticed greatly how our daughter has had tremendous growth in not only her developmental skills but also her social skills. All of her teachers have been attentive and provide her with the individual help she needs to continue to progress. They also provide plenty of interactive activities that keeps her engaged and learning.

Overall, we have had such a positive experience here. We truly consider Celebree our family and they have made a tremendously positive impact on our daughter. I would recommend them to any parent who’s asked.”

“My baby has been attending this school since 2023, and we are very happy with our experience. The school administration and teachers are kind, supportive, and always helpful. My baby truly loves the school, and I have noticed significant progress in development and learning. I am very grateful for the care and dedication they provide.”

“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.”

“We're so happy with our experience at Curious Critters so far. The teachers and staff are so engaging with educational and fun activities everyday. We get daily updates so while we're at work we're not worried about what our son is doing. Highly recommend!”

“I had the honor to host my documentary screening here and attend some other activities. It is one of the best places to appreciate and experience new-formed art. Highly recommend everyone to check it out”

“Great staff, excellent quality and services. Very clean organized and well maintained. The exhilarating experience my child enjoys while learning is overwhelming. Definitely worth it the peace of mind knowing your child is in excellent hands. exemplary experience for sure!!!”

“We absolutely love Fingerprints, and we know our toddler does too. He learns so much from the creative and age-tailored activities (we love seeing the cool things he does on the app!), he has so much fun playing with friends and on the courtyard playground, and he simply adores his teachers. From Ms. Tabithia and Ms. Judy and Ms. Kayla in infants, to Ms. Monica, Ms. Michelle, Ms. Gabie, and Ms. Destiny in toddlers, he loves his teachers like family, and so do we! We have the piece of mind that he is with attentive, warm, fun, and energetic teachers and caretakers all day, and bringing home all these new skills and milestones to boot.”

“We absolutely love Busy Bee! When we moved from out of state, I was nervous about how my daughter would adjust to a new daycare environment—she had formed close friendships at her previous school, and I was worried the transition might be difficult. But Busy Bee quickly won both of our hearts.

The teachers are truly incredible—caring, kind, deeply knowledgeable about child development, and impressively organized. From day one, they made my daughter feel welcome and supported, and it's been amazing to watch how much she has grown, both academically and socially, since joining Busy Bee.

One of the things I appreciate most is the peace of mind I have every day knowing she's in such good hands. I never have to worry—she’s safe, happy, and thriving. She genuinely looks forward to going to school, and more often than not, she’s not quite ready to leave when I arrive to pick her up!

We’re so sad to be leaving Busy Bee due to another move. It’s hard to say goodbye to a place that has meant so much to our family. We will always be grateful for the love, care, and learning our daughter received here—it will always hold a special place in our hearts.”

“I greatly appreciate the staff at Academy at Galway. I was nervous about my free spirited, yet shy toddler going to pre-k after always being home with family and having one on one attention. She can be emotional and quiet. However the decision to send her was not that hard because I have had experience with Academy at Galway many years ago when my now 16 year old daughter attended. I can say I am extremely grateful and happy I made the decision to send my daughter. Just like many years ago the staff there are amazing. The nervousness I felt went away quickly. The director was extremely understanding with how nervous I was and answered all of my emails and questions. The staff kept me updated especially her first few weeks. They’re attentive. They didn’t get upset that she was more emotional and scared in the beginning. They were patient with her and as a mother that’s all I could ask for. Knowing my child is being well cared for when I am not around. My daughter comes home everyday and is excited to tell me about her day. She may have days where she’s upset that things didn’t go her way but she is learning about being kind, sharing, boundaries. All of the things she needs to be successful as she moves to kindergarten. On weekends she counts down the days until it “almost a school day!” The teachers have been helpful with my concerns and they communicate often. My shy little girl is more outgoing and now super talkative.”

“We are so lucky and grateful to have found ERCDC. Our two kids have been very happy there from day 1. The staff and teachers are all loving and truly care about each and every child. The centre has a nurturing and homely feel that makes it stand out from other bigger, corporate-like institutions. Communication with the teachers and management team is also very good and we get lots of updates and photos everyday. It will be hard to leave!”

“This is my daughter last year there and is a bitter sweet moment because this center has been nothing but great to us .
My daughter started at 2 years old did her final potty training here , has learned all her number , colors and even a little bit of sign language. The staff are amazing !! Really going miss this place for my daughter but its that time for big girl school. Dont regret picking this center for her and am sure you wont either.”

“We are very Happy to take our son to Goddard School Laurel. Very pleased with the center and with the staff members. The teaching methods are impressive and keep the kids busy all the time, learning and having fun in such a great environment that makes you feel very comfortable to take your kids there!!
Our Son loves going to school!”

“DeeDee's was great for the two years we were with them (2022 to 2024). We started with our oldest starting Kindergarten and our youngest starting as an older 3yr old. For the oldest, DeeDees did an amazing job of making sure she got to school and was picked up, even when she was the only student going to her school. This carried through all 2 years. She loved the teachers and made good friends we were sorry to have leave (call-out to Miss M during the summer kids club). Our youngest loved being in the 3s room and made the transition into the 4s doing a great job making new friends. I want to call out Miss C and J from the 3s room for everything they did even when both kids were only there at morning drop off. Miss S, M, and A from the 4s (I know I am missing a few I apologize here), you know the kid is happy when he wants to hug the teachers every morning when he sees them. I also want to call out Miss C, the director, who ran a solid ship, covering when teachers left and always being responsive to the parents. Overall, the teachers cared about the kids, they made sure the kids were given an environment to grow while also limiting their craziness, and we always felt comfortable dropping them off every morning.”

“My daughter has been at this daycare for a little over a year. As a a teacher and educator myself, I am very happy with the care and education my daughter is receiving at Little Miracles. We are so lucky to have found Ms. Carla. As a new mom and coming out of the pandemic, I was more than anxious to send my little one to a daycare. Little Miracles has been wonderful for my daughter and for our family.When we were first looking for daycare centers, we were struggling to find a center that we could afford and one that had room. Within an hour of contacting Ms. Carla that first summer, we were able to hear back from her and schedule an appointment to see the facility. At the time, we needed to tour while there were no kids there (of course due to the pandemic), but we were so thrilled by how our daughter took to Ms. Carla.When our daughter started, Ms. Carla assured us that our little one was happy and cared for by sending picture updates and all the fun little crafts home. She was active, learning, and playing. Our little pandemic baby was so fulfilled.The curriculum is rigorous and keeps our little one always coming home with new things she has learned. For a day care, the learning is age appropriate and challenging. Along with all the crafts, ABCs, counting, now days of the week and months have been taught to my daughter (she astounds me every week by the new things she is learning) - Ms. Carla is the one who potty trained my baby and helped us follow the routine at home. Without her, I have no idea how I would have done it. Seriously, she knows kids and she is the professional.Ms. Carla has been steadfast with her Covid protocols and this has helped her daycare stay safe and clean for all kids. The center is much smaller than other comparable centers which is best for our daughter. Ms. Carla and her team is attentive, caring, and treats all kids like her own.As a family, we deeply appreciate her service, her love towards our little butterfly, and her guidance and grace for us as new parents to support us in this journey together.”

“Amazing preschool with teachers and staff that genuinely care about every child. My daughter graduated, but kept her there in camp to ensure a strong start to Kindergarten. Highly recommend!”

“Like every other parent, we were racked with worry about where to send our kids. Where would they not just be well cared for, but flourish? Once we found the EDCJCC Preschool that worry vanished. Our child has benefited from teachers who are caring and creative, experts in their field. The curriculum is ever changing, reflective of the interests of the kids in each classroom assuring that they are learning while having fun. The EDCJCC Preschools is also incredibly well run from an administrative perspective. The EDCJCC Preschool has been such an amazing fit for our family.”

“The CCBC Community is like family! We are so lucky to have landed at such a magical school. Our older son has been at CCBC for 3 years and our younger son will be going next year. The teachers, staff, and administration are wonderful and are deeply invested in making the school a fun, safe, and highly developmental learning environment.”

“We have been so happy with 4CCN since our son started attending in 2022. The leadership, teachers, and staff are caring and warm, and the community is wonderful. It’s not only one of the most affordable options in the area but in my opinion among the best quality too. Highly recommend.”

“Tabernacle Learning Center has been a true blessing to our family. I love that it’s a Christ-centered environment, it gives us peace knowing our child is surrounded by faith and care. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to family and friends.

A heartfelt thank you to the entire team, especially Mrs. Allbritton and Ms. Remi, for your patience, kindness, and understanding!”

“My experience with Primrose School has been very positive. The staff is professional, well organized, and attentive to children’s development. I have seen real growth and progress in my child, and I feel confident and reassured every day. Communication with parents is clear and consistent. I highly recommend this childcare center.”

“We are so thankful for the amazing work, Ms.Millis. She has done this this year. Watching our child grow in reading, early math, and especially learning Bible stories at such a young age has been a blessing. Her patience, love, and dedication shine through everything she does. The graduation was beautiful and filled with joy — a true reflection of her heart for the children. Thank you for giving our child such a strong and loving start. We appreciate you so much!

“I can’t say enough great things about Lanham KinderCare! As a parent of three kids enrolled here, I truly wouldn’t trade this center for the world. From day one, the teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to create a warm, caring, and structured environment where my children are not only learning but thriving.

They’ve made life with three kids so much easier for me, the communication is excellent, the activities are fun and educational, and I always feel confident that my children are in loving, capable hands. Every teacher knows my kids by name and treats them like family.
It’s such a relief to have a place where my children are happy, safe, and excited to go every day.

Thank you, Lanham KinderCare, for all that you do! You’ve truly made a difference in our family’s life. ❤️”

“Our daughter had a wonderful two years at Mi Palacio. The teachers are all warm and caring, and we felt comfortable daily knowing that our child is in good loving hands. The kids are exposed to plenty of activities throughout the day, playing at the park, visiting the local library, crafts, music, dancing, water time (in the summer). Lunch provided was a big bonus for us, and of course the Spanish exposure. We'd recommend Mi Palacio wholeheartedly!”
