“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.”

“My grandson has been with Lake Arbor Kindercare for 2-years. My family and I are very pleased with the progress he has made. He is progressing so well through learning exercises and doing fun projects.
I know he will be well prepared for kindergarten. A special ‘Thank You’ to the Managers and to ‘All’ the Teachers at Kindercare. You do a fantastic job!!! ??”

“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 want to give my recommendation for La Petite of Bowie. We have had one child attend for the school year (age 3/4) and both for summer camp (age 5/6). It is a very well structured environment where the kids not only learned lessons and played, but they were happy every day to be there and sad when it was time to go. Learning lessons even continued during summer camp! The leadership, Ms Daphne and Ms Teresa, stay busy but always make time to address parental questions or concerns. They know all of the kids, and the kids know and are fond of them. I actually enjoyed the cross pollinating of classes as each teacher brings a different strength and character. Our youngest son is slow to warm in general, but became very attached to both of his teachers. There are also video feeds available for parents who are curious about their child or the daily class activity. I strongly encourage parents looking for good instruction and care by seasoned professional teachers for their children (and not just young folks who need a job) to consider them, but don't hesitate. Seats are DEFINITELY in high demand, and for good reason. The price may be considered a bit high by some, but we felt it was worth it when compared to prior experiences and seeing the end results in our kids.”

“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.”

“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.”

“My family and I recently moved to this area so we wanted to find a curriculum based daycare & after care similar to what we had previously. We were happy to have met Ms. Dess and her team welcome us into their lovely facility - it is clean, organized and includes an indoor gym with a spacious playground. So far, it has been a great experience with the teachers who are attentive and care deeply about providing support to our children. All meals and snacks are provided which helps make our mornings smoother. Rates are reasonable and competitive for this area, however it is lower than Celebree nearby.”

“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.”

The employees were more like family and I trust them completely with my child. Thank you all for the impact you had on our lives!”

“I truly appreciate the education and foundation my children received at Loving 2 Learn. The staff deeply care about the overall wellbeing and growth of the children in their care.

The quality of the curriculum utilized throughly prepares children for Kindergarten.

I highly recommend them to anyone searching for quality, affordable, faith-based and loving childcare.

The staff are lead by an owner who cares, is hands on and has open communication.

Not native to PG, Loving 2 Learn treated us like family!”

“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. ❤️”

“My now 4year old has been attending for about 5 months now and I must say already I would highly recommend this Center!!! They are all About the children and Kids Being Kids! the curriculum, the daily lessons and activities shown to the children, the teachers and staff are all friendly and genuinely gets to know each child with time, they are constantly updating equipment surrounded around what the children would Like and NEED and I greatly appreciate EVERYONE There they are so Awesome! All Directors All staff no issues, communication is key here and they never leave a child behind. My son is pretty nervous at times and so his first week he did great they allowed him to adapt without him becoming overwhelmed and now he looks forward to seeing his teachers and friends everyday even on weekends Lol Thank you Children’s Centre for allowing me and my family peace of mind while knowing my child is receiving the added necessary care & knowledge from home to School ❤️❤️ it takes a Village!”

“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 .”

“Our family has had an outstanding experience with this daycare, and I’m genuinely grateful for the level of care they provide every single day. The management team sets the tone with their exceptional communication and genuine compassion. They’re always proactive, transparent, and incredibly supportive, which gives us so much peace of mind.
Ms. Mary, the school‑age teacher, is a true gem. Her calm, warm presence and ability to connect with the kids make such a difference. You can tell she really understands them and meets them right where they are.
The infant room is equally wonderful. Ms. Syn and Ms. Kaitlyn bring so much patience, kindness, and warmth to their classroom. They treat the babies with such gentle care, and it’s clear they love what they do. Seeing how happy and comfortable our little one is with them means everything.
If you’re looking for a daycare that blends professionalism with heart, this is the place. We couldn’t be happier with the experience.”

“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.”

“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!!”

“Rainbow Child is a blessing to my family. They are very neat, good teachers, and they are always there for the family. I really love my experience and it is really worth the money.”

“I enjoyed my 8th grade year at New Hope very much!! The teachers were really nice and I had fun times in the classrooms. I made friends with people and bonded with people I never thought I would bond with. I learned a lot at this school. The homework load was light but I retained information. The students were nice and didn't bully me for my religion. The school is very diverse.”

“@kia gibson that sounds like a threat to one of the teachers, may thats why your child can’t stop being violent to other kids focus on that instead of getting online justifying bad behavior. I am sure if you could afford it you would have a nanny. I am glad to say my experience with my child in Ms Shantelll rooms was the total opposite she even taught my baby to read . I have never had any issues with the cameras so I can’t speak on that my child was never mistreated or abused by her teachers, she looks forward to going to school. If your fear there is abuse in blind spots maybe its a blessing your child is no longer there.”

“Ms. Kendall and Ms. Jayla are conscientious, kind, and consistent caregivers. Our 2-year-old is happy to be dropped off in the morning and happy when we pick him up in the evening. What more can you ask?”
