From the beginning, all members of the staff, as well as other parents, knew him and greeted him which left us feeling felt warm and connected- something that many other private schools in this area lack.

In my experience, my biggest fear was that the school would change its approach halfway through the…read moreschool year, and unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. I felt that my concerns about racial harassment and discrimination involving children of color were not taken seriously. In my opinion, there was a lack of transparency and accountability from the administration, and I often felt that issues were minimized rather than addressed. I also felt that many staff members had close personal or family ties to the church community, which made it difficult for families outside of those circles to feel heard or supported. While the school presents itself as welcoming and student-focused, my experience was very different. I felt that promises made to our family were not honored and that tuition became the priority over the well-being of students. Based on my experience, I would encourage families--especially families of color--to ask detailed questions, pay close attention to how concerns are handled, and make sure the school's values align with their own before enrolling. I sincerely pray for healing, accountability, and positive change for the school community. God bless everyone involved. FYI Reviews were turned off, via Ms Krestler request. Think About It!!!!

At the time of this review, my kids are 6 and 9 (1st and 3rd grades). Both have attended the school since Kindergarten. My 6 yr old also attended Pre-K at Holy Redeemer. We were first drawn to HRS for its reputation in our neighborhood as being a welcoming school with a firm anti-bullying stance. The teachers and administration work hard to maintain a supportive learning environment where students feel welcome and wanted. What sets HRS apart from other area schools is its small class sizes, its balanced and integrated STEM curriculum, and its committment to developing the whole person. HRS students are some of the nicest kids I have ever met -- kind, excited about service opportunities, curious about their world, eager to help each other, excited about math! The teachers here are incredible educators that encourage collaboration and inspire a joyful curiousity in their students. What I love most about the school is how the teachers (due to the small class sizes and their tenure at the school) really know and look out for my kids. This personal attention has really helped my kids to thrive -- both academically and personally. I also work in a STEM field, and the administration and teachers are very open and receptive to my recommendations of activities/extra-curriculars. They have also granted me many opportunities to share my organization's work with the students - which is so fun! In short -- if you are looking for a welcoming school where your child can get a phenomenal eduction in a safe environment, please join us!

My experience with Kidskare ELC has been nothing short of great. Mr. Uche and his wife own two…read morecenters in the area. They have Happy Family Daycare Center on Riggs Road, which accepts children from infants all the way up to 7th grade for their afterschool program. They also own Kidskare which specializes in preparing 3, 4, and 5 years olds for starting elementary school. I have a toddler still at Happy Family and a 5 year old who started at Kidskare at age 3 then graduated and started kindergarten this past year. The staff here is wonderful, my child always come home with great things to say about their teacher. I get to see what they do and learn everyday, as there are weekly homework assignments sent home with them in their folder as well as a mini progress report. The teachers really make sure the kids are learning everything they need to know to be well prepared for kindergarten. By the time they graduated from Kidskare all the kids even knew some sign language, which I thought was amazing. As for the reviewer above I am not sure what caused her negative experience. But I will say that Mr. Uche's wife's name is Grace not Hannah so maybe she was not actually working with the owners of Kidskare. I get off work at 5:30, so usually my husband picks up my child from Kidskare, but he has never had an issue with paying late fee. The times I do go to pick up my child, however, even if I arrived a minute before 6 o'clock I was not charged. The checkout clock is electronic and you enter in a code that only the parents know to sign a child out. It's an automated system so there isn't much human error, and the time on the clock has never differed from that on my cell phone or watch. I have never know it to be set even one minute ahead of the correct time. During the summer, the children do have more time to play but it is still very structured. The center follows a similar curriculum to that used by the Prince George's County Board of Education for preschool. Meaning that there are daily lessons for the academic year, but when the school children in PG County schools are on break the lessons from the Board of Education pause for the summer. The children still have daily activities that help them retain the information they learned from August to June so that they remember what they learned when they start kindergarten after the summer ends. The directors even have some of their own lessons they develop for the children over the summer, such as the sign language mentioned above, kindergarten level math, and more. These additional lessons help your children to start slightly ahead when they begin school in the fall. The prices and staff at both centers are amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends.

Its a special community. While not a coop parents do participate in field trips and special events at Halloween, Thanksgiving and throughout the year.

I truly can't say enough good things about KinderCare at City Ridge in NW Washington, DC. My son…read morestarted here at 2 years old, having had very little interaction with people outside of close family and friends. From day one, the center made his transition smooth and welcoming. One of my biggest concerns was his speech delay. When he started in October 2024, he was barely verbal. Now, in July 2025, he's using two-word phrases consistently. KinderCare helped us get connected with speech therapy, and the growth I've seen in him is undeniable. The center itself is always clean, organized, and professional. They offer extras like soccer, water play, and music/phonics lessons that keep my son, Euro, engaged and happy. Every staff member is wonderful, but I want to highlight a few: Nimat, the director, has been so helpful and hands-on. Derryl leads phonics and music classes, which Euro loves. His main teacher, Miss Beverly, is amazing--very patient and hands-on. Ms. Lita and Mr. Marcus are also favorites of my son; he really enjoys their energy and support. The center's communication is top-tier. The app they use makes it easy for me to stay updated with pictures, videos, and daily reports. Meals and snacks are provided, along with diapers and wipes, which is super convenient. We're so happy with the care and progress Euro has made that we've decided to keep him enrolled for the next learning level. I definitely recommend KinderCare at City Ridge to any parent looking for a safe, nurturing, and structured environment for their little one.

I was very nervous as she is my first child, and I was sad to go back to work and leave her every day. Every member of the staff has been welcoming and warm to us -- not just when we first started, but every single day since. The facility is clean and well-organized. They take security very seriously and have a two-lock system to get inside. They also regularly update me throughout the day, from pictures of my baby playing to notices about menu changes or when they have a fire drill. My daughter has learned so much more from the teachers here than she ever could have learned at home with me. I also think socializing with the other babies and the teachers' constant support and encouragement gave her the confidence to learn to crawl and walk in her first year. More importantly, they genuinely care for her and she clearly loves them and feels comfortable with them -- she'll even reach for them when I drop her off and is excited to see them every morning. Every day when I pick her up, she's happy to see me but also quick to blow kisses and wave goodbye to her teachers with a big smile on her face. I cannot rave about this center enough -- it's pricey (as all DC daycare centers are) but it is worth every penny.
