The attention given by the teachers to the babies/toddlers/children is over the top. Everyday I check the app to see what they do, and no joke - it seems like they had professional photographers take photos of my kids. Everyday the kids do a new and interesting activity that blows my mind. Even better they potty trained my son, helped him give up his pacifier, and turned him into an articulate curious child. The icing on the cake are the strict covid protocols. This place is cleaner than than a hospital, and all the parents take the protocols very seriously as well.

The Director has been there for over 13 years and provides a loving, stable and nurturing environment. In our almost 4 years at Talentos, there has been minimal staff turnover which can be hard to find at childcare centers. My daughter runs to the door to put her shoes on each morning because she is so excited to go and even though my son is now in DCPS schools, he loves to go back and visit is his old teachers. Could not recommend them more!

Every morning, our kids were excited to go--greeted with big smiles and eager to see their beloved teachers.

I would like to thank th e teachers b of the two class (ms. S and ms. T) for making child care such a great experience for my child. Pricing: pricing is as affordable as it can be for daycare and is very reasonable for the quality of care that the kids recieve. Bottom line: send your child here!! They will enjoy it.

During the covid lockdown we lost access to our daycare and were scrambling to find a daycare that…read morewas open. A friend recommended curious critters and while we would have taken any port in that storm we have been very happy with the care our son has received here and continued sending him there even once things began to open up. My son genuinely loves his teachers and talks about them all the time at home. He is learning quite a bit and every day comes home with new vocabulary. And I really love that the staff here encourage development across the board, from eating with proper utensils to potty training, and they are happy to work with parents to help the kids succeed. On top of everything we can tell a ton of planning goes into their days there. Every week has a theme that carries over from the books they read and the projects they do to the food that is served for breakfast and lunch.

The owner Dominique Walker and her staff are professional and courteous. I was always greeted with a smile and my daughter enjoyed going there. If I had a concern it was addressed and corrected. It takes a village to raise a child and CCELT staff really assisted with that process. I recommend CCELT to all parents who wants their child(ren) to thrive, be loved and cared for with dignity. The cost did not matter to me becuz I always had a peace of mind when dropping off my most precious gift. No price compares to the LOVE and CARING your child(ren) will receive from the CCELT staff. I really hated to leave; however, kids do grow up and they have to move on LOL!!! It was truly a pleasure being able to be apart of a wonderful family environment. We will truly miss CCELT but I know I will definitely use their drop in services from time to time Dionne

They are so well organized and fill the kids days with fun and educational activities. They take the older kids on great field trips. The summer program is more like camp than day care, and my kids absolutely love it - water play or pool every week, a weekly theme, magic show, reptile show, etc. etc. They go out of their way to have family events throughout the year (Thanksgiving feast, Christmas program, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Kick Off to Summer, Fall Festival etc), which make you feel part of the family. They provide all the meals and snacks, usually including a hot and healthy lunch. I always feel confident going to work that my kids are safe and well cared for. It's not easy leaving your little ones all day, but Loving 2 Learn made it so much better! We're really going to miss this school and the staff and other kids now that my little ones are moving on. Recommend highly to anyone looking for child care in the area.

We visited several…read moredaycares before choosing St. Jerome's, and found that many of them were very cold and sterile-feeling. At St. Jerome's, it feels warm and family-oriented Many of the current teachers actually attended the school as children, sent their own children there, and have continued to be a part of the community. The staff are knowledgeable and extremely caring, treating each baby like a special family member. My baby is always happy and smiles at everyone when we walk in the door. I should also mention that because it's subsidized by the church, it is VERY affordable!

Our son has attended SJCC since age 3 and loves it. The programs for 3-5 years are play-based and…read morechild-centered, but include daily instruction in numbers, letters and writing practice, which is helpful for a head-start into any kindergarten. The staff are loving and warm to the children and very accommodating toward parents, who are always welcome to drop in to visit their children or talk to staff. Religiosity is never excessive, but in line with age-appropriate Catholic teaching. Hitting and conflicts among children are not overlooked but dealt with immediately in a firm, fair manner by staff. Aggressive children are referred to senior staff for intervention and generally this is sufficient to avert problem patterns developing. The staff are compassionate about pottying and the children have very easy access to a child-sized lavatory whenever needed. Parents are not chided about accidents, incidents or threatened with expulsion because a child displays minor issues common to their age. The center is very supportive of allergic children, posting their needs in classrooms so staff are reminded to be aware. Medicines are not dispensed without a doctor's note, and can be stored on site. Children running a fever will be sent home to recover until the fever has been gone 24 hours. Sniffles and minor colds are tolerated. Families are diverse in background, as is the staff. Catholics registered with a parish receive a significant discount, but all are welcomed. Demand can be high for slots, particularly for infants through 3 years. There is often a waiting list for infants, so apply well before birth. Children are admitted as early as 6 weeks. Graduation occurs at the end of the spring term in May for 5 year olds going to K in the fall. Tuition varies by age, but our preschooler it was approximately $1040 a month for full-time care, 5 days a week, 7 am to 6 pm. Part-time arrangements are available and flexible. The programs operate on a semester basis (Fall and Spring) with a Summer term. There is a weeklong spring break and two weeks off in the summer. The facility is fully accredited by the State of Maryland under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Washington, and billing is done by the FACTS company, with ACH deducation available. In sum, this is a long-running, well-managed, child-friendly daycare facility with an excellent reputation. Highly recommended.
