I wanted to share my experience with Julia Brown School regarding my daughter's time there…read more Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing and left us feeling that the environment was not supportive of helping children adjust and thrive. When my daughter was placed in a new classroom, she had been there for less than a full day before we began receiving calls asking us to pick her up because she was "not listening to instructions." As any parent knows, transitions to a new classroom can be challenging for young children. It typically takes time for them to feel comfortable with new teachers, classmates, and expectations. Instead of allowing her a reasonable adjustment period or working with us on strategies to help her settle in, the school seemed irritated by the situation and quick to remove her from the classroom. We were hoping the staff would demonstrate patience, professionalism, and a child-centered approach--giving her at least a week or two to adapt to the new environment. Unfortunately, that level of support and understanding was not demonstrated. Repeated calls to pick her up after such a short time in the classroom made it feel like the priority was convenience rather than helping a child succeed. Every child deserves educators who are willing to guide them through transitions with patience and care. We had hoped for a more supportive and professional approach from the school in ensuring that our child had the opportunity to adjust and thrive.

We've had nothing but a fantastic experience at JBS Silver Spring. Ms. Jones is absolutely perfect…read moreto lead this campus, we're so grateful for her leadership and kindness. The teachers are phenomenal and the campus is clean and neat. School communications are clear and prompt, there's always someone there to answer questions or concerns. One of my favorite parts of JBS Silver Spring is the community. We have met life-long friends both for the kids and us parents. Often when a child leaves JBS Silver Spring, we stay in touch with the family since the kids build such a close bond. I can't imagine us being anywhere else, it's truly our dream school come true.

I'm pretty certain…read morethe outdoor playground sold it for us on first sight- huge, tree-shaded, much to do, and far more organic than others we have seen. :) We also feel strongly about supporting non-profit childcare, were impressed with the care and dedication of the staff, believed the cost was competitive for this area, and were thrilled with the breakfast and hot lunches provided through the Good Food Catering company. Our children have had a seamless adjustment with the assistance of warm, loving teachers truly interested in their growth and development. They have made diverse friends and enjoy attending school each day. I am not a parent who feels deeply about any particular "curriculums" for young children except play, exploration, love, and more play, particularly outside, so I will simply say that our children return home every evening refreshed and happy from an active day, and with surprising knowledge of things I had no clue about in nursery school. I couldn't recommend MCCA K/FG more- we are grateful to have found it, even more grateful that they had two spaces open up from their waitlist for our children, and look forward to their continued advancement here. Thank you, MCCA!

The staff is knowledgeable, and their expertise in kids is an aggregate of over 50 years experience. The school creates a great environment for child social development and parent education, offering everything from potty training to sensory development classes (to help parents better understand no only their own kids, but the kids in the community as well. As a young cooping father, I've learned lots of ways of being more productively involved with my kids. Since starting with my daughter at SSNS 2 years ago, I went from helping my elementary school son with homework, to being actively involved in his school's PTA. I talk to everyone about SSNS, and would recommend it to any family with young kids.

This school is very well run, has great facilities and classroom space and a wonderful staff. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. Each morning we're greeted by the director at the door, she knows all of the children (and siblings) by name. The school is very secure as well, the door is locked after drop-off and there is a wonderful gated playground for the kids. The staff is very welcoming and responsive, there is great communication with the parents. The curriculum is great and includes several in-school field trips (visits from traveling petting zoos, Otto the safety auto, etc.). The kids love going to school. We have been incredibly pleased with our experience at this school and highly recommend it.

My son loves his teacher and looks forward to going to school. In the small school community all the teachers know you and your child's name. The lead teachers at Evergreen are experienced, knowledgeable and caring. The individual attention that the children receive has been crucial to my son's academic and social development. His joy of learning is genuine and intrinsic - I attribute this to Evergreen. I am confident that he will carry this love and curiosity for discovering new things throughout his life. Evergreen also has a robust art and music program. The Montessori implementation at Evergreen is unmatched in this part of Montgomery County. Evergreen School is truly a gem. You should definitely put it on your list of schools to visit when considering preschools, kindergarten and/or elementary schools.

We have had our oldest son at Silver Spring Child Care Center since he turned 2 in January of 2020…read more For the past 2.5 years, we have absolutely loved having him at SSCCC. The leaders and teachers go above and beyond to care for and nurture every child, and it shows both in how much he is learning and how excited he is to run in the door each day. Deciding who to trust with your children is a huge deal, and I am SO glad that we chose SSCCC. As an early childhood educator and consultant myself, my expectations were high, and I have truly been blown away by how much he is learning, how deeply he is building knowledge about the world, and how much he is loved by his teachers. They see the light in every child. I truly can't say thank you enough to the amazing staff at SSCCC, especially given how challenging the past 2.5 years have been given the pandemic, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend SSCCC to any interested family. In fact, we can't wait to start our younger son there as soon as he is old enough!

LCYC truly feels like a community of parents and teachers working together to help the kids learn and grow. The smaller class sizes make such a difference and really allow for personalized attention. My son has become so much more independent, and he's thriving academically and socially. It's been amazing watching the relationships he's built with both the staff and the other children.
