Extremely Frustrating Experience -- More Than a Year and Still No Behind-the-Wheel Training…read more I paid $370 last summer for my son to complete Driver's Education with Southern Maryland Driving Academy in Prince Frederick, including both the classroom portion and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. My son successfully completed and passed the classroom portion. However, more than a year later, they still have not been scheduled for the 6 hours of behind-the-wheel instruction that we paid for. Over the past year, I have sent multiple emails and left multiple voicemails trying to get this resolved. Calling their phone number has been extremely frustrating because my calls routinely go directly to voicemail. I leave messages and do not receive return calls. I send emails and often receive no response. We have even gone to their Prince Frederick office in person a couple of times hoping to speak with someone. Each time we went, nobody was there -- the lights were off and the door was locked. So this hasn't been a matter of simply sending an email or leaving one voicemail and expecting an immediate response. For more than a year, I have repeatedly tried to reach this business by phone, email, and in person, with very little success. A little over a week ago, I finally reached a representative by phone. I explained that it had already been more than a year and my son still had not received his behind-the-wheel instruction. I also explained that his learner's permit is expiring in September, so there is now some urgency to getting this completed. During that conversation, she told me she was on vacation and asked me to text her my son's upcoming school schedule. She suggested that they might be able to use his school's "Patriot Time" to pick him up, complete some of his driving instruction, and return him to school. I sent the requested information on Monday as instructed. It is now Friday, and once again, I have received no response or update, despite leaving additional messages. At this point, I'm not even asking for a refund anymore. We have already waited more than a year, and the continued delay is now becoming a real issue because it is holding up my son's progress toward getting his MVA provisional license. I am seriously considering finding another driving school in the area and having him continue his Driver's Education there just so we can finally move forward. My concern is that he may have to repeat the classroom portion if the new school requires documentation or certification showing that he already completed it. Given how difficult it has been to get Southern Maryland Driving Academy to respond to basic phone calls and emails, I have very little confidence that obtaining that documentation from them would be easy either. I understand that businesses can have staffing and scheduling challenges. What I do not understand is accepting payment for a service and then leaving a customer chasing the business for more than a year just to receive the service that was already paid for. At this point, my biggest frustration isn't the $370. It's the lack of communication, lack of follow-through, and the impact this delay is now having on my son's ability to complete the licensing process. Had someone consistently responded to my calls and emails and provided a realistic timeline, this would be a very different review. I'm posting this because other parents considering Southern Maryland Driving Academy should be aware of my family's experience before paying for a package that includes behind-the-wheel instruction. After more than a year of waiting, repeated unanswered calls and emails, multiple unsuccessful visits to their office, and still no completed behind-the-wheel training, I cannot recommend this driving school.

Due to the dedicated staff and their top tier curriculum, my daughter just passed the kindergarten early entry exam at age 4!

My daughter would scream coming to the center and when she was picked up was frequently off on her own. She had multiple injuries, which is understandable for a 2 year old. However, the final straw was when my daughter was bit in class, in FIVE DIFFERENT AREAS, and I was told she was bit twice. I asked to see the incident on video and that never happened. I showed the images to my pediatrician and to other people and they were uphauled by what they saw. I could see EACH TOOTH on my daughters leg. This to me is negligence. If you want to know what your child is doing on a daily basis, don't go here. Her first day was great, we got regular updates on the app they provide, but after that if we got ANY update it was alerting us when we dropped off / picked up our child. We even gave them IPADS. Yes, we donated IPADS to the center to just get updates as they said their teachers couldn't do regular updates due to lack of something to do the updates on. Nothing changed. We reached out to the owner as she told us to contact her whenever we have an issue. We had multiple issues we brought to her attention. What was her response to this? We get an email saying your daughter is being removed from the center and that day was her last day. This was ridiculous. I showed the email I sent and the response I got, to multiple people and found it to be unprofessional. Regardless, we have my daughter at another center. The funny thing is we have not one time had to complain and she's been at this one longer. She has learned and developed more and actually cries LEAVING as she has so much fun. The staff turnover is crazy at this location and seem to be bothered when you had questions. My wife dropped off our daughter before to staff members too busy on their phones than to help get my daughter settled. They even had a morning person who my daughter would SCREAM AT THE SIGHT OF. When I brought this to the attention of the owner I was told that person was not a "people person". And they are working around children? Again, you may have different experiences. I would not wish for this place on anybody and the best decision we made was leaving there!

This company is under new ownership and now doing business as Carter's Webb Learning Center…read more This is my experience with the center providing afterschool care for my kindergarten aged son. The center will not offer toileting assistance to children who ask for help other than providing them with their spare clothing and offering wipes for the child to clean themselves up. I called the state about my concerns. The state visited and found that the center was not out of compliance with this, however; during a meeting regarding the care of my child the directors were very rude. They told me that I was upset because I was not getting what I wanted. When I asked where in their handbook to find the section on the care they provided and didn't provide the director told me, "You can read, find it yourself. You signed that you read and understood the information." When I asked what age they expected children to wipe and clean themselves up "three" was the answer that was provided. My child is school aged and I certainly don't expect any staff member to accompany him to the bathroom and monitor his toileting habits. I do however expect that anyone who I am paying to provide care for my son, help him whenever he requests help. I don't feel that including this in an IEP is appropriate (the center requested this in order to provide help to my child if he asked for it). This is not a disability but a skill that has not been fully developed The center did offer to call me if my child requested assistance and I could leave work to come to the center to assist him. Needless to say, I am very disappointed and the care of my child will not be entrusted to this organization. The directors are very unprofessional and condescending to their patrons when their business/care practices are questioned. These ladies have a lot to learn if they are going to be successful in the childcare business. When I told them I would be posting my review to social media they asked to make sure I included all of the details so I hope this honors their request. Parents/guardians, do your homework and make sure to visit this center before deciding to place your child here. Go with your gut.

We have tried other daycare centers but none even come close to the program and staff at Happy Faces ELC. The certified staff takes continuing education courses in early childhood education/development to maintain their credentials and they're so knowledgeable, very professional, firm but fair, and all the kids have fun and learn about all kinds of things. A normal school day for children is to arrive bright and early between 6:00 - 7:00am, they play in whatever educational center they chose (computers, housekeeping, blocks, library area, etc) until it's time to go to school. Mr. Tim drives the children to school in the Happy Faces new 14 passenger van. When they get out of school, Mr. Tim is there to pick them up and take them safely back to Happy Faces. When they arrive, they have time to wind down and eat a snack, then they start their homework. After homework is finished, the children enjoy free time playing outside with the other children, entertaining themselves in one of the learning centers, reading a book or playing an educational game the teacher has prepared/set-up. Happy Faces ELC's Summer Program is exciting, educational and most of all fun! When I pick her up, she just can't stop talking about all the exciting things she did that day. Our grand-daughter especially likes the field trips to: bowling, skating, parks, museums, swimming, movies and more!!! On non-field trip days, Happy Faces has special guests stop by to educate and entertain the children like: a mobile petting zoo, clowns, magicians, police officers, fire fighters, and more! Happy Faces ELC is so exciting and educational that my grand-daughter won't go anywhere else! We love Happy Faces ELC, we wouldn't dream of going anywhere else and the staff are so friendly and professional !!!! We give Happy Faces 2 thumbs up!!!!
