The curriculum is well thought out and provides a balanced approach to both initial introduction to…read morematerial (knowledge) as well as the application of the material (demonstration). We love the daily reports! The security protocols provide an effective defense-in-depth strategy that I think adds significant peace of mind. The children are safe, secure and well taught. Discipline is effective and consistent with a focus on positive reinforcement and good decision making. Accidents/incidents are communicated rapidly and the staff are very attentive to the health and well being of our children. The facility is clean and sanitized with the attention of detail that has resulted in the best environment for our children. The food options are excellent and provide a balanced meal to keep our little ones fed and nourished. Issues or concerns that were communicated by myself to the staff were respectfully discussed and addressed in a timely manner. The events and activities that are sponsored by the academy are great team building opportunities for the parents and staff. Additionally, they provide a strong foundational marker for the children to observe the parents being a part of their educational journey. Highly recommended!

Ms. Mary, the director, is truly amazing--her dedication and leadership make the daycare run smoothly and create a warm, welcoming environment for all the children. We'd also like to give special recognition to Ms. Erin, Ms. Nasnim, and Ms. Anrica in the 4A class. They do a fantastic job making learning fun and engaging every single day. It's clear they care deeply about the kids and their development. We're so grateful to have such a wonderful team caring for our child!

Our son, Jack, was enrolled in the Infant program at Shadygrove KinderCare, and we were so sad to…read morehave to leave when we moved. It was clear to us that Jack loved being at KinderCare, and that his teachers, Ms. Sandy and Ms. Nazek, really loved him. The level of excitement they had to see him each day and even the way they talked to him made it clear that they genuinely cared for our son. The worst part about moving was having to leave his teachers, and we would recommend this KinderCare in a heartbeat to any parent anxious about leaving their infant (Jack had to start at eight weeks). When we found out we had to move, the Center Director, Mary, was extremely helpful as we worked to find a new childcare arrangement where we were moving to. Again, we would absolutely recommend Shadygrove KinderCare and especially Ms. Sandy and Ms. Nazek to any parent looking for peace of mind that their child is somewhere where they are loved and cared for.

Since switching my daughter to Kidstop Child Development Center in 2023, I couldn't be happier with…read morethe change. From the moment we walked in, the environment alone gave me peace of mind, it's warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for children to thrive. My daughter is now 4 years old, and I've watched her mind expand in incredible ways. The growth I've seen in her has been amazing, she's become more independent, intellectually curious, and confident every single day. The staff at Kidstop are incredibly attentive. The way they care for the children is unlike anything I've experienced before. I also love knowing that while I'm at work, my daughter is eating healthy, balanced meals and staying active. The center does a wonderful job planning family events, which really makes it feel like a community. Brandy, the director, is exceptional! She truly embodies the phrase "it takes a village." She supports both the children and the parents, and her presence makes such a positive difference.Parent-teacher meetings are another highlight. I always look forward to hearing how my daughter is doing, what she's excelling at, and where she can improve. The feedback is so thoughtful and helpful.The positive changes I've seen in my daughter since enrolling at Kidstop have been nothing short of inspiring. I learn new things from her all the time, and I'm so proud of how she's growing. I'll genuinely be sad when the day comes that she outgrows the center because as a parent, there's no better feeling than having total peace of mind when you drop your child off each day. Kidstop has been a blessing for our family.

Did not feel like she was reading something off of a sheet of paper. My tour today (May 25th, 2017 1:30pm) with Sylvia was perfect! She was 1.Friendly and kind 2. Knew all the answers to all my questions 3.Empathic since she has 5 kids of her own (She does not look like she has 5 kids) But the Child center was great for all these reasons. 1.Welcoming and colorful. (This was my 5th daycare tour in Rockville/Gaithersburg 2.Kids were all happy when I came in for a tour. 3.They have a huge play ground area 4.They offer classes like cooking for an additional small fee. 5.They give 10% off discounts to a list of companies. 6.Teacher student ratio is 1 to 10 kids. AMAZING! 7.It didn't smell like a dirty diaper when I walked in. 8.Security window and door. Love it! The pricing is a little on the higher end of my budget honestly but you get what you pay for. At least you know your child will be in good hands. I am have this on my top two and will make a choice soon. I'm waiting on a job offer letter that will determine which daycare my 3 year old will go to. And if I get it? I'm bringing my kid in here.

My daughter has been attending Orchard Montessori for 3 years and I can't say enough good things…read moreabout this place! It's a smaller group which means each kid gets all the attention and support they need. I'm continuously being amazed by the curriculum and the program - Spanish, music, art, soccer, field trips, field day - my kid loves going to school so much! She just turned 5 and can name all the countries in South America and Europe and all 50 states in the US. I don't know many adults who can! She's going to kindergarten this year but I already enrolled my second child to be in this program. We've had an excellent experience and will recommend Anitha's program to anybody who's interested!

When we moved him it was such a tough decision, because we all love Ms. Lidia and Michelle and they love the children so much. Since his preschool is shut down for the government shutdown (it's on government site) - she has allowed him to come back and it was like going home and we were all comfortable right away. It has allowed us to keep a good routine for him and reconnect with some old friends he was with as a baby, and make new. She has been super professional, accommodating and loving for our family. She also have helped out some other families who need to keep working during the shutdown.

Her assistant Michelle is amazing as well as they represent a great one-two combo. Having two persons for oversight can only portray better safety measures. I do have to say her pricing is definitely competitive with your commercial and nonprofit day care centers as we have experience with three girls going through different day cares. Lidia, thanks for all you've done for us and continue to be who you are. I really do hope people don't find this review as bogus but more genuine. If anybody was to meet you for the first time and also take tour of your place I would almost guarantee no persons would go to look anywhere else.

The teachers are incredible and loving. The kids are being taught to be kind and inclusive. There is rarely a dull moment for the kids at busy bees - at pickup my kid often asks me to please come back a little later! They have ballet, Zumba, karate, yoga, Spanish class, music class. Fridays are special pizza days, and they get to do show and tell. Right now, they're taking care of caterpillars, and we have to peak in the planter every morning to see if their flowers have started to grow yet. There's also a monthly Parent's Night Out where your kids will get dinner, snacks, playtime, and a movie while you get a date night. My son is also in the infants room. The teachers are so kind and loving to him. He has rarely ever cried at drop off and I get constant updates with pictures and videos in the app. They're always on the move with reading, playtime, drawing, outside time, snack time. Each kid is met where they're at and are still involved in the activities - from kids who can't sit yet to early walkers. I love walking down the stairs towards his room and I can hear him and his teacher having full blown 'conversations' before pickup. We are thrilled with Busy Bee's and would recommend it to anyone looking for quality daycare!

If you want to have the best for your child, you should definitely check out this daycare!
