The director, Kris, is so sweet and understanding and accommodating of our son’s needs. Our son is on the spectrum and needs just a little extra support and space for processing the demands that being in a day care put on a child. The last day care he was in did very minimal in understanding and just wanted to kick him out, we ended up having to move him down to half days and use out PTO from work for the second half of the days until we could get him in here. At Antietam Academy, they let him have breaks when he needs them, they don’t force him to join the class until he’s ready in the morning, and they let him have his “safe” toys to keep in his pocket and pull out to play with when he needs them. The entire 2 and a half years at his old day care, every single drop off was a melt down, we’re only 3 weeks in at Antietam and he already lets me go at drop off without a fight. I am so grateful for their understanding and accommodations ❤️

We LOVE this daycare for our children! The staff has been amazing and we love that our kids looked forward to coming here! We would still bring our children if we didn't move.

I would give it no stars but it won't let me. I would never take any kid of mine to this place because of what I saw at a little kids baseball game the other day, two of their employees started a fight at a little kids baseball game that this academy sponsor. The were flipping off people and yelling profanities around young kids!!!! This teachers should not be teaching anyones kids or looking after anyone's kids. It was disgusting to see people act this way

My kids literally were there for 1 hour a day and they still charged me full price. They don’t feed the kids nothing but crackers and juice when they get out of school. They never helped my kids with their homework. They charge you 20 dollars per kid to pick them up from a school 2 blocks away from the center. It would’ve been cheaper sending them in a Uber not counting the tuition is suppose to include the transportation. No one ever answers the phone when you have a question but if you owe money they know how to use the phone. This place is a complete scam they aren’t looking out for your well being of your kids and if your smart you’d stay away from this place. they don’t do good business.

Hi, I have never expressed a public opinion but felt compelled. Sharing for anyone who might consider child care at this establishment. If I could give zero stars I would.1. The initial “positive and “happy” introduction of academy /teacher behavior did not match the actual care provided.2. My child came home with phrases and words specifically, “That place is giving me bad nerves.” “Teachers say they will tell on them to their parents if they did not clean up their mess.” “Teachers raise their voice frequently and makes me want to hold my ears.” “The teacher got in a kids face and yelled at them.” “The teacher was frustrated today.” “Please don’t send me back there.”3. My child was sick with a headache and a temperature. No one notified us that my child was not feeling well. They instructed my child to lay down and drink water because they might be dehydrated. When confronted, the teacher / director stated that they did not know my child was sick. This was verbal and also written that they took no ownership or accountability. They claimed no one knew my child was sick.3. Up front, we paid in full for 11 weeks. Because we pulled out our child from this place and did not give a “two week” notice they did not refund us what they truly owed us in returnOverall, terrible experience that left a negative impression on my child. If you are thinking to put your child in their “Summer Camp”, just know there will be at least 70 kids of various ages. Not equipped to properly manage such a large group while the teachers / directors are not being able to handle their emotional outbursts. Zero out of 5 stars.

My daughter has been going to Antietam Academy for 2 years & she absolutely loves it! The teachers have done a fantastic job of preparing her for kindergarten. Jared (the owner) & Chris (the director) have always been quick to answer any questions I might have. I always knew my daughter was in good hands, & I truly appreciate the wonderful care she has received.

I currently have two children enrolled at Antietam Academy and I cannot express how grateful we are for the care they provide our children. The environment is enriching both socially and educationally. They participate in daily activities, learn manners, get good meals, and the teachers are absolutely some of the best around. I would highly recommend Antietam Academy to anyone for childcare.

I have had nothing but good experiences at this daycare. My children enjoy attending here. They treat my children the way i would treat them at my own home. I always know whats going on with them and they always keep my informed of everything. I would recommend this daycare to everybody.

I had intentions of sending my child here until I witnessed first-hand how the "teachers" treat the children. After putting down my "security deposit" of $235 I paid a visit to the classroom that my child would be in. Nobody welcomed us, asked us who we were, or even paid attention to us until I offered this information. I wonder if they would have reacted the same way if I did not have a 2 year old child by my side. They treated the toddlers like prisoners at the snack table, yelling at them to stop talking, so that they could vacuum the classroom before allowing the kids to get up from the table.When I called and asked for my security deposit back, I was told it was not refundable. I ended up speaking to the owner, Ted, who raised his voice in anger when I told him that I wanted my money back. I can now see where the "teachers" get their angry personalities from and why it is so evident that they do not want to be there.Please, for the love of God, do NOT put your child through this school!
