We are new to the area and I wanted to make a good decision for our family. The center is really diverse which was a must for me so that my daughter can be well-rounded. I love her teachers; Ms. Chrae and Ms. Qeyera show my daughter the best care and attention. They are a breath of fresh air. The transition has been smooth and so relieving. My daughter is also a pescatarian and the center accommodates her dietary restrictions with ease! They inform me of everything going on whether big or small. I love it here.

Toddler University is truly an outstanding preschool! Dawn has created a beautiful, nurturing, and…read morehighly educational environment where children thrive. Her dedication to preparing children for kindergarten goes far beyond expectations. From the incredible curriculum and hands-on learning to the latest technology like smart boards, music programs, karate, yoga, and amazing teachers, every detail reflects the love and effort she pours into her program. You can see how much she genuinely cares about each child's growth, confidence, and success. If you are looking for a preschool that is professional, enriching, and absolutely top-notch, I highly recommend Toddler University. Your children will be loved, supported, and exceptionally prepared for their future!

I would like to share my experience with a business that we were welcomed with open arms and pushed…read moreaway like an outsider. We had our kids attend Toddler University Preschool, LLC for about 5 years. The director/owner is friendly and kind offering a preschool with love and passion like no other! Everything you would want to hear, even offering extra curricular activities like yoga, karate, animal experiences, zumbini, and a big firehouse graduation! My kids had the time of their lives. Creating friendships that last a lifetime. Friendships. Not just between the kids also between the parents. We have met a multitude of people in this business. Where you can message another parent and feel like you have known them your whole life. But something changed. Communication and my kid had meltdowns at drop off, but everything was "fine" when I ask how my child was during the day. But clearly my child did not think so. Being almost the oldest family attending and loyalty means nothing to a small business like this. Receiving a 30 day notice with no explanation (contract says no explanation can be given) other than "personal reasons" came to a shock. I was told to keep personal life and business separate and not let them mix. Payments we made rearly, participated school events, accepting of any changes to policies. There were no issues there. Once I received the 30 day notification (by text), at drop off/pick up I wasn't greeted by the owner anymore. I was greeted by the assistant teachers. I had questions and needed clarification, but I was told not to bring this topic up to her or the assistants (needed to relay messages and was not physically present) and not to reach out to other families because it wasn't "my place." As a mother it is my right to know what is happening with my child in someone else's care and why is it only happening to my child. When you think you know somebody better than your family, it's like getting stabbed in the back with a dagger. It hurts, but time will pass and will heal. After experiencing this. I would highly not recommend Toddler University Preschool, LLC. I don't want anyone experiencing rejection from a caregiver to your child with no explanation of any sorts, regardless of loyalty.

We are very grateful to this school for accommodating our daughter after the year had already…read morestarted, we don't expect they can do this for everyone but it's one of the reasons we loved it so much. The director of this school is amazing, she pours her heart, time, work, and love into the school, kids, activities, events, and ceremonies. The teachers are excellent as is the quality of the education. The behavior expectations are strict, but their methods are objectively effective and the teachers use proper disciplinary techniques (our daughter never complained about teachers shouting, yelling, or being mean like at other schools she's been at). Our 5 year old finished pre-K and is able to read, do math, and also learned history and geography. We recently took a long road trip and she often talked to us in the car about things she learned in school about the different states we visited, or historical figures we mentioned (She learned a lot about MLK, for instance). The school is wonderfully diverse, there is no religious affiliation so our daughter was taught equally about all religious and cultural traditions during the different holidays. We loved all the events, and ceremonies we attended, in the year our daughter was here we went to a few seasonal concerts were the kids sang and danced, as well as a trunk or treat, Halloween parade, earth-day activity, and a surprisingly robust graduation ceremony! We absolutely recommend this school to anyone in the area, preschool is a very important developmental stage for children and this school did a fantastic job setting our daughter up for success in K-12!

Overall: incredible experience, my son learned a lot, low turnover with teachers, well-staffed,…read morecalm atmosphere, excellent communication and organization, lots of fun and educational special classes and activities We spent a little over year at Goddard in Ellicott city 2 days a week and loved it so much. He spent time in the roosters and ponies classes. It's so clean, well staffed, decent staff retention, and I'm always wildly impressed with the behavior of the kids. My son has made a lot of adorable friendships. We've been obsessed with his teachers, especially Andrea, Kayla, Xhochilt, Mia, and Mackenzie. He's learned some Spanish, great classroom skills, and independence. Andrea has been there for 17 years which is so impressive to me. The communication with the admin is so fast and everyone always seems so chill. As someone who taught for 10 years, I find that to be incredible. That sense of peace really rubs off on the kids. They are a little pricier, but I think it's worth it. In the summer there is less consistency with the teachers because of vacations, but it is still well-staffed and they do so many events in the summer to make it extra special for the kids like tie dye, bubble shows, foam party, magicians, service dogs, bringing in reptiles, and musicians. On nice days they got outside 3 times a day. Their play areas are really nice. My son's favorite parts of the day were centers and playing in the sensory bins which changed daily. He came home with tons of art and meaningful knowledge about their weekly questions.

I cant say enough good things about Quala Care. The curriculum, the structure, everything is…read moreamazing and I always feel like my kids are super safe. In particular Ms. Tina goes above and beyond for me. I dont have facebook (FB) and other than the office sending an email or the teachers putting a message on the app, all communication about (for example) spirit week, holidays, birthdays, etc. is done via FB. But Ms. Tina takes her time to text me every single message. She also checks in if she feels my son is having an off day. Her kindness has made me and my kids feel very special. Of course Ms. Danielle is also wonderful and always so kind and Ms. Jayla has even been to some of the kids birthday- she truly loves kids- so they are all amazing. They give birthday gifts, holidays gifts, etc. that THEY PURCHASE. Above and beyond. Ms. Iku and Ms. Bow are also wonderful to my daughter, though i dont have the same interactions. Ill just say they are very sweet. I dont know the other staff names, but as they run your kids back to class or up from class they are always kind. I love the security of the locked main door to get into all of the classrooms as well and the app that we utilize. Only using FB could be considered a negative to some (there are times I wish maybe there was more signage or emails sent but they also recently put up a board that they write things on which helps) but with staff like Ms. Tina it really doesnt bother me. Thank you Quala Care :)

Both of our kids settled in well, were cared for, challenged, and more. They are play-based as a school, especially for the younger ages, and spend a lot of time doing play, music, crafts, etc. And our son in PreK made excellent progress on "academic" curriculum as well -- Spanish, sight words, writing, math, etc. In addition, the teachers and admins make investments in their character development -- learning to be empathetic, kind to others, etc. They've also been very easy-going in terms of scheduling the care we need for the kids. They are willing to work with part-time schedules, and you can take weeks "off" from preschool/childcare during the Summer for vacations without having to pay for the spot. We've been very pleased and would recommend this preschool to other parents without hesitation.

Two and a half years later, we are back for more training, and the center is just as amazing as I remember, in fact, with the introduction of the pecious status program, it's even better than before. I receive several updates a day on the app, to include pictures and personalized messages. I can also send messages to my daughter and her teachers. It's amazing to feel so connected to her throughout the day. Ms. Margaret and Ms. Laurissa are a dynamic teaching duo. I remember Ms. Margaret being amazing from our first experience. I don't remember all of the names, but a lot of the faces are familiar, which means low staff turn over = a great sign for a daycare center. They are also a NAEYC accredited center with a fantastic curriculum. The center director, Bethanie Faulkner, and her staff made re-enrollment and transitioning smooth and simple. Lakesha, the assistant director helped me with several of the finer details and was so warm and accomodating. She went the extra mile for us, which really reduced my stress levels! I wish I could them back home with us. If you are considering this center for your child, I highly recommend them. This is the most consistent center I have ever seen. We will miss Childtime and all of the wonderful people here.

My son attended this daycare when he was an infant in 2016 for 7 months. The infant classroom is…read moreclean and spacious. They wash the toys every Friday. I thought it is very nice to have an app to get an update about my son (when he eats, diaper changes, a picture etc. ). But the app is not an advantage but a disadvantage for the kids since the teachers spend too much time. They make the kid smile and they took a picture and that is all. You never know how the kid is doing afterwards. Whenever I drop him the teachers were not saying good morning, they are usually talking with each other about their nights etc. They never picked my son up from me to calm him down, they never smile or show any attention to him. I checked on him starting from the first day and I found him crying on a bouncer facing to the door. I was horrified and because I couldn't find any other daycare I couldn't drop him off but checked him everyday regularly. Because I was going there everyday I noticed that they are very cold to the kids (except 1 teacher who could not do much by herself). The kids can not sleep because of the artificial lights, they don't dim the lights. No natural light for the kids all day. The buggy ride is happened mostly inside the building. They called me about his fever, I went there with a panic and find out he doesn't have a fever and went to his doctor for nothing, the doctor also told me there is no fever. It happened couple of times and I did use my own thermometer to compare with theirs. If the teacher could be relieved or if there isn't enough teacher they do that. I had more unbelievable experiences with this daycare. I don't recommend this daycare since the child needs attention and love more than anything.
