Schools near Elkton, MD

“This school is warm, educational, and incredibly supportive. The curriculum is structured yet fun, and our son has improved in language and motor skills. Any parent would be lucky to have their child here.”

“We signed our daughter up for safe childcare as working parents. We've gotten so much more from Kiddie Academy: a nurturing environment, high quality education, best friends and teachers that are like family. As a professor I am impressed with the curriculum and the things my 3.5 year old knows - e.g. fish eat bioluminescence. We've grown through classrooms 6,1,2,3, and 4 and we've loved every teacher and staff member along the way. Kiddie Academy of Elkton is a hidden gem and we are so glad we found it!”

“They’re so sweet and they have teach my 1 yr old so many new things and they take so much care of the kids and do so much with the kids I love this school so much”

“We love Paxson lane KinderCare! My daughter has been going there since she was almost 2. It’s going to be biter sweet when she graduates out of KinderCare this year and starts kindergarten. Ms Aaida, Ms. Giana and Ms. Carolyn are such amazing teachers. The directors, Ms Irene and Ms Susan are extremely pleasant to deal with. My daughter asks us to drop her off early on most days so she can get her fun day started at KinderCare. She absolutely loves it there!!”

“LOVE Cecil Dance Center! My girls have been dancing there for about two years. Quality lessons. Very impressed with Miss Tina and Devon. They are very caring and professional towards all their students. I also love Jean who works in the office. She is sweet and helpful.”

“My toddler currently attends LELA. I personally have grown to love it and so has she. My personal favorite is the key fob entry and the online daily updates that give me peace of mind. All the employees are friendly and inviting, including the director, which makes it easy to communicate any needs or concerns you may have. They constantly have small events that the children can look forward to and my child has already learned so much just from socializing with other children daily. They are always doing activities daily so be rest assured that your child will actually be learning and growing instead of just watching tv all day.”

“My daughter has been at Lil’ Einstein’s since starting daycare as a one year old. She’s had many amazing teachers over the years and the administrative staff has always been so good to her. As with most daycares/preschools, there is a lot of teacher movement and turnover. I only wish there was more communication when there are teacher changes in her classroom.”

“Our family started attending Cadence summer of 2025. Being new to Cadence was a little scary but the staff there are amazing. They are very helpful and provide families with resources that are needed. They are also understanding and you can tell that they enjoy what they do. Our family loves it here and we are very grateful and happy with the services provided. My youngest always smiles when he sees his teacher and my oldest enjoys playing and learning with his teachers and friends. It’s like having another family. Thank you Cadence ❤”

“This is the best daycare. The teachers really love the children and teaching the children. They go above and beyond to ensure the kids are prepared for their next steps in life. Ms. Veronica always showed love and care and seemed to take a personal interest in my sons development. Mrs Lisa and Joe were so accommodating I felt as if they cared for my son personally. I love the goddard school, it's like a second home for my son. We will miss them graduating to kindergarten, they've been family for 2 years! Enrolling was the best decision for my son being an only child he developed so well and was challenged learning new things, being outdoors, learning team building and sports!”

“We’ve been at NDN for six months now, and our experience has been fantastic! Communication is always easy and clear, and the staff truly listens to parents’ feedback. They’ve supported our family through some tough times, and we’re so grateful.

The atmosphere is always warm, joyful, and positive. Our child walks into the classroom every day with a big smile, excited to see his teachers. We couldn’t be happier with the care and environment at NDN!”

“Came here to change out fire extinguishers last year and this place is really a nice church. They accept lgbt ?️‍? which is awesome for a gay guy like me. I don’t go to church but going to somewhere like this and being accepted is great! Really nice staff as well here! If I did go to church I would definitely come here !!”

“Bright New Scholars Academy has truly set the standard for excellence in early childhood care and education. From the moment we walked through their doors, we were met with a warm, welcoming environment that immediately felt like an extension of our family.

The facility is clean creating a safe and nurturing space where children can thrive. Both of my children have been enrolled since they were three months old, The staff is not only caring and attentive, but also deeply committed to each child’s growth—emotionally, socially, and academically. Their structured approach to learning is balanced beautifully with genuine affection and individualized attention.

What stands out most is their open and consistent communication. As a parent, it’s incredibly reassuring to be kept informed and involved every step of the way. Bright New Scholars fosters a partnership with families that’s built on trust, transparency, and shared values.

We are beyond grateful for the love and dedication they pour into their work each day. It’s more than a childcare center—it’s a place where children are truly family.”

“ABC Kids Academy has been such a blessing for our family. My daughter attended here before moving on to Head Start, and because of the wonderful experience she had, choosing this daycare again for my son was an easy decision. He started at ABC Kids Academy when he was just 4 months old and is now 1 year and 8 months and the care he receives has been exceptional from the very beginning.
The staff at ABC Kids Academy are patient, loving, and truly attentive. They treat every child as if they were their own, which gives me so much peace of mind each day. The environment is always clean, safe, and filled with activities that encourage learning, growth, and exploration. I can see the difference in my son's development, socially and emotionally, thanks to the thoughtful care they provide.
As a parent, having trust in the people who care for my child is everything, and I feel completely confident leaving my son in their hands. Their communication is consistent, and I always feel welcomed and respected whenever I walk in.
I highly recommend ABC Kids Academy to any parent looking for a daycare that feels like a true extension of family. They have supported both of my children, and I am beyond grateful for the love and dedication they bring every day.”

“When looking for a daycare safe that I can trust and depend on, This daycare is the first on my contact list. I couldn’t wait until my kids turned 1 to go here! I’ve had all 4 of my kids start and finish at this daycare for the pass 11 years. In every class and with every staff, From the 1 year old class all the way to the after school program. I love this place and know my kids are in good hands. They are very understanding and have worked with me on payments shows they really are for the kids and not after just money. I’ve also had to deal with not 1 but 2 of my kids who were behavioral and all needs were met to assure they were successful and everyone was safe. The staff is very well hands on and show they love the kids. Still to this day I have my last child currently enrolled. With a good morning greeting when we sign in, to a high five or blowing kisses when my child leaves.. this daycare is all about care and love! Thank you for all you do and have done. Great job”

“Ms Janae and Ms Michelle in Room 7 are literally me my son and my son’s father’s ROCK ! I genuinely feel like they love my child as their own when I know they give that to every single kid that’s in their care! There are other teachers and staff that we love like Ms Julia etc but man when I tell you those two have helped me and my boyfriend grow as parents, assume responsibility for our own shortcomings while never making us feel less then in the process! I couldn’t have asked for a better support system when it comes to my kid he’s level 2 autistic and they work with me and the therapists that come to see him to make his days as smooth and consistent as possible and he thrives on it ! I just wanna show my appreciation, I honestly have no bad words for this location and I genuinely feel like anybody that has a problem it’s just something they’re not doing within themselves. Nobody is perfect but for my son and my family their perfect for him? thank you for reading‼️”
