Ms. Anitha and her assistants have provided a warm and caring environment that my daughter is excited to go. We will be sad to leave but thanks to our time here my daughter is well prepared for the transition to kindergarten.

My daughter started Orchid Montessori School when she was 3.5 years old, and in a matter of a year,…read moreshe experienced extraordinary emotional and intellectual growth. There can be no doubt that most of the credit goes to the talented and conscientious teacher, Miss Anitha. From learning good manners to reading small sentences to knowing time/calander, planets, and countries, my daughter has thrived in an environment where she is nurtured, challenged, and loved. Miss Anitha and her supporting teacher have done a tremendous job of balancing creativity, fun, learning, and play where my daughter comes home with new concepts and experiences. The kids are exposed to different cultures by celebrating worldwide festivals, Spanish language, experimental science, geography, and many more! Miss Anitha has been quite invested in her contentment and development; that my daughter wants to go to school even on holidays! Field trips every other month is a plus! The school is the perfect size for the teachers to give each child individual attention but also large enough for the kids to learn to play and share. The school have surpassed my expectations, and I can happily and enthusiastically recommend their exemplary program for any child between age two and six.

The curriculum is well thought out and provides a balanced approach to both initial introduction to…read morematerial (knowledge) as well as the application of the material (demonstration). We love the daily reports! The security protocols provide an effective defense-in-depth strategy that I think adds significant peace of mind. The children are safe, secure and well taught. Discipline is effective and consistent with a focus on positive reinforcement and good decision making. Accidents/incidents are communicated rapidly and the staff are very attentive to the health and well being of our children. The facility is clean and sanitized with the attention of detail that has resulted in the best environment for our children. The food options are excellent and provide a balanced meal to keep our little ones fed and nourished. Issues or concerns that were communicated by myself to the staff were respectfully discussed and addressed in a timely manner. The events and activities that are sponsored by the academy are great team building opportunities for the parents and staff. Additionally, they provide a strong foundational marker for the children to observe the parents being a part of their educational journey. Highly recommended!

Henrita and Kim create a caring, patient, safe and fun environment for little ones to learn and play. Henrita has great communication which I really appreciate. I really love that the kids get to go outside almost every day (weather permitting) and the back play area is a safe environment for them to run around and burn some energy. Our son is always excited to be dropped off and wants to stay longer when we arrive to pick him up. I can not say enough good things, we love it :)

All the kids are good friends and don't want to come home. My 3 yr old knows all her letters, numbers and can write her name. Highly recommended- when we initially looked at different places when my daughter was a baby, Kinderland was the most organized, professional and loving. It's been great.

They send updates, pictures & videos on an app so it feels like we are included. We love the location because it is private and not near any major roads. The kids here are happy and engaged. They learn, sing, dance, craft and even do yoga. The playground outside is wonderful and you can tell the center is clean and well cared for. Our son has been going here since 9 months old and we couldn't be happier. We look forward to seeing the development of our little one continue!

UPDATE: After more than a year now, I feel the need to provide an update. Zoe, the owner of the Fun…read moreSquare is truly amazing. She is highly educated in the field of early childhood development and her approach is effective yet gentle. I have relied on her for advice on potty training, tantrum management and picky eating and across the board her advice has been fantastic. I feel that she makes me a better parent. This is what sets this place apart from other centers: Zoe's expertise and the fact she doesn't walk away from the center. Every new teacher that comes in gets trained, so at the end the approach to childcare remains constant, regardless of who the teacher is or the age of your child. Another thing that I love about this center is the constant and transparent communication. The updates on the app are constant. You know what is happening with your kid throughout the day. I see photos of them doing yoga, I see photos of them playing in a sand box, I see videos of them playing in a tent pretending to camp. It's just fantastic. I occasionally message the teachers for different things and I always get a response back. I feel that we are all on the same team, which makes everyone's life, including my daughter's life, much easier and happier (e.g., during potty training). One of the teachers, Marlee, lent me her book on overcoming resistance to pooping which is common among toddlers for instance, and it helped a lot. She obviously didn't have to do that. Finally, I have noticed that my daughter isn't getting sick as often as the kids of friends who go to other places, which obviously matters when you are a working parent (e.g., she never had a hand-foot-mouth disease for instance, while a friend's kid in DC had it twice over the past year and another friend's kid in Philly had it once and he started daycare only 2 months ago). I am not sure if this is a coincidence, but I have the feeling that the level of cleanliness at the center helps a lot. I really don't have enough good things to say about this center.

Everyone should check out this place! My kids recently moved from the location on Victory Ln to…read morethis location and they LOVE it. They were asking every night if they would be going back to the 'new' location next day. There were two top criteria that I was looking for when I first moved to MD : Hygiene & Education Program. After checking 3 ~ 4 daycares in the area, I realized that AtoZ Funcare is the best one of all in both criteria. Every AtZ location that I checked out is extremely clean & their education program is far above my expectation. So thankful to have my both kids here.

When our children first started at Little Acorns, their teachers helped the transition go very smoothly due to their efforts and support. The teachers communicate with parents at drop-off/pick-up as well as in a daily email with updates and photos about the classroom's activities. The director, Libbi, provides excellent, timely communication about upcoming events, activities, and updates. We couldn't be happier with our children's experience at Little Acorns as they always share about how much fun they have at school each day! I highly recommend Little Acorns to families looking for childcare, from infants all the way through preschoolers.
