I will now donate here as they truly put your gently used or new goods to great use for others in need. They also will pick up gently used furniture and other household items if you submit a request. They also provide a receipt for tax or other purposed. God bless these kind souls !

They definitely did a great job laying down a firm educational foundation. But just as important it is a small center which gives it a personal touch. They are caring and nurturing. I have to add that they did a wonderful job dealing with covid-19 pandemic and all the kids were kept safe. My husband and I never had to worry when we went to work everyday.

This daycare center does not meet bare minimum standards for customer service. First and foremost…read morethey show favoritism and charge some parents fees and not others. I was told I had to pick my child up at a certain time but could clearly see that rule only applied to me and not other parents. I had a death in my family and had to keep my child home for one day and was charged almost $100 for it. The owner has an attitude problem and they yell at the children. Everyone had an attitude in there and I never felt comfortable dropping my child off. To be so money hungry and thirsty but have such horrible customer service is contradictory. I had to take my child out immediately and do not recommend them to my worse enemy. DO NOT DO IT.

The Children's Inn at NIH is an amazing place. They provide lodging for children, and their…read morefamilies, who are being treated at NIH. It is a warm and attractive facility. As they say on their website "While the NIH takes care of the child's medical needs, The Inn tends to the child's heart, soul and spirit." When you enter the building it looks like you have entered an upscale ski lodge. There is a reception desk to the left, but straight ahead is a sitting area with plush couches and a fireplace. As part of a service organization that provides Sunday dinners 3 times a year, I have only been in the public areas. They have recently added new kitchens, done other renovations, and built a new outdoor play area. Each family has their own private room. There are various public rooms such as a computer area, a quiet room, and dining areas, etc. Our group prepares a meal in a double kitchen equipped with 4 stoves, microwaves, sinks, small appliances, and kitchen equipment. There is a pantry with paper products and non-perishable items. Each family has a personal refrigerator for their own use and there is a common refrigerator for anyone to take advantage of. Volunteer groups can leave leftovers in the common refrigerators for residents to use. Behind the kitchen area we work in is a laundry room with a number of washers and dryers. Staff and volunteers provide a large number of diversions and activities for the families. One night there was a high school choral group; another time someone was organizing board games; and another night an outgoing man was setting up a bocce ball set for after dinner entertainment. Each child apparently has a mail box where small "treats" are provided. There are many ways to contribute to this amazing organization with donations of time, of money, or in kind. When I am at the Inn I feel sad for the children and their families, but I am thankful for them that they have the Inn and that they are getting treatment at such a remarkable, caring facility as the National Institutes of Health.

We were so grateful for all the help they offered us while we were there on our first visit. My girls love coming "home" to the children's inn. There is so much to do there--the staff always has movies available for kids and lots of fun activities planned. They even have a sweet therapy dog for the kids to love. . There is nothing you need to bring when you stay here besides your pillows and clothes. My girls always ask when we get to go back to see the amazing doctors there and stay at the Childrens inn. So blessed to have had this experience.

I got him on the phone, and he said he had to find out some information from his friend in New York, which was on a Friday afternoon. I called back on Monday after not hearing anything, and he said he needed to contact his friend again to get the information about fixing our particular Stairlift model. No response, no callback, so on Tuesday I called and wasn't particularly happy that I hadn't gotten a call. He retook my address and sent out a local guy named Clide, who was friendly and super knowledgeable about these chairs. He opened them up, replaced the batteries, and put the chair back on the track. He tested it and verified that it was working perfectly. I highly recommend this company, but stay on top of the manager or owner a little more than I should. If you need service on a chairlift, this is the company with the most knowledge in the area. Recommended!!

I've had multiple children enrolled at Greenwood and during that time experienced three different…read moredirectors, but I could be forgetting one. There is currently a new director who I did not experience at all as my children were already enrolled somewhere else. Like a number of childcare facilities there has been quite a few teachers who have come and gone. However, I know there are still quality teachers there. Ms. Simret, Ms. Judy, Ms. Toni, Ms. Genie, and Ms. Vanessa, are all teachers I've had personal experience with and hope Greenwood is doing all they can to keep them there. There was a recent merger with Sunny Days, so hopefully this helps with teacher stability as well. I know Sunny days had teachers who had been with the facility for quite some time. My children learned and thrived while they were here and still talk about Greenwood. Overall, I think it's a great facility with the chance to be greater. Federal employees have preference here with general community members without a child currently enrolled there being last in order preference. Wishing everyone best of luck in their childcare endeavors!

The most important thing that I can say is that my child LOVES this school. They have literally…read morewoken up, and the first thing out of their mouth was "Mommy, I want to go to school." As a parent, what more can you ask for? Our child is also in Room 4 (Ms. R's class), same as the previous reviewer, and we've never had a problem with her not greeting us in the morning or witnessed her on the phone. All of the instructors in that classroom greet us in the mornings during drop off and in the afternoons during pick-up. They also fill us in on any particulars about our child from that day or the day before. They always seem happy and positive (even when it looks like they've had a long day). One of our favorite things about the school is its diversity. My child's classroom is extremely diverse, and it's one of the main reasons that we picked this school. We were unaware of Laurie's pending retirement until reading the previous review, so thanks, person, for spilling the beans on this very public platform. Did you have permission to share that information? So I don't know if this is true, but Laurie is absolutely awesome!
