Schools in Silver Spring, MD

“This is my son’s first year and so far I have really seen his development! I love his teachers and the staff are absolutely wonderful. I couldn’t be happier and prouder of this school.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“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.”

“Great place to bring your kids. Hard working staff & great environment that your children can develop in. ICC offers child care for infants all the way up to grade school, which is awesome because all your kids can grow together.”

“At Kreative Kidz Children’s Center, my child has been able to thrive in an environment that has caring staff (teachers and administrators alike). They always great every parent with a smile, not just the parent whose child they are teaching.

The teachers encourage the students to be themselves and they keep them very engaged. The environment is always clean and welcoming.”

“Childtime of Silver Spring have cared for my children from small infants to junior kindergartener. It has been comforting knowing that the cameras are available and we can keep an eye on them during the day + the multiple status updates throughout the day. There have been amazing staff and junior staff members care and teach my children over the years. It is a very very very pricey tuition each month and it’s a struggle to balance, but the staff will try and work with you. My family greatly appreciates Ms. Kelli, Ms. PerChaya, Ms. Alis, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Bilikis.

Though not at this location anymore, thank you Ms. Ileana for welcoming in both my children.

It would be nice if tuition cost could drop to be more in line with nearby locations, that is my only takeaway.”

“My daughter has been attending this center since she was 3 months old. I love how the staff treat her and myself like family. The classrooms are bright and colorful. I can’t not wait for my son to attend in a few months.”

“My experience at Quality Time Learning Center has been awesome! The staff genuinely cares and always strives to do what’s best for every child. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed the learning experience my children have here. I’m happy to let everyone know that this is a wonderful place for children to learn and grow!”
