We have had our son enrolled at Goddard at North Bethesda/White Flint for almost a year and have…read morehad such a great experience! We changed daycares because we moved and wanted a daycare slightly closer to our new house - and we have had no regrets with the switch! After touring, we were attracted to the welcoming staff, new and clean building/environment, ample play spaces, and structured curriculum and schedules. We knew this was somewhere we could send our son until he goes off to Kindergarten. We were really drawn to the fact that they sign the teacher's contracts for a full school year, ensuring minimal turnover (our previous daycare had an incredible amount of turnover in staff and admin, which we found very disruptive to our son's routines and to us as parents). Communication between the school and parents has been wonderful (e-mail and detailed daily reports) and all of the teachers and admin really seem to enjoy what they do.

The curriculum is great and we love how the activities are themed each week, it keeps things fresh and exciting. She always comes home with something fun to talk about, and we love that they send her home with art activities and homework she actually enjoys doing too! The school puts on loads of events which really adds to the community feel. What we really appreciate is the consistency. It's helped her settle in and build some lovely friendships with teachers and kids. We are very happy with our choice :)

What a wonderful co-op preschool! My son is in the 3's class with Ms. Sofya this year and we…read morecouldn't be happier! What we love about this school is that they offer a 5 day/week program with an aftercare "lunch bunch" option. (They also have a 2, 3, or 4 day per/week option). So, my son has school from 9:30 A.M. until 2:00 P.M. Monday-Friday. I don't think that any other co-op in Rockville has this much schooling for the 3's age group. Another great thing about this preschool is that they have the option to BUY OUT of the co-oping duties! This year is especially busy for my family because we also have an 8 month old baby and we are very limited on time. (I love this school's flexibility!!) RCNS' location is beautiful. It is surrounded by wonderful green space and a fun playground! My son enjoys playing there with his friends when his aftercare is finished. (During this time, I enjoy socializing with the other parents!) In all, I would highly recommend this preschool for parents looking for a co-op with a more flexible schooling option! We are so happy that we decided to come here!

There are quite literally not enough words to describe how much we love and appreciate every aspect…read moreof this center. When you are looking for a center, if the administrative staff is beyond communicative, if teachers love your child as they love their own, and if the energy that seeps forth boasts of creativity and engagement at all times, you know you've found the perfect place, and that place is Rock Spring Children's Center. It's hard enough knowing that you have to leave your child over the course of a day, but to know that you have the best care possible for your child during the day helps alleviate so much of that stress. The Center does not just say they love children, what they want to do to improve or how the work aligns with the mission, but they show EACH of these things, with intention, every single day. And while I'm talking about the overall feel and experience of the center, there are so many additions that really take it to the next level. The offerings of ballet, karate, an amazing plyometrics program, and music, all of it offered from phenomenal external entities as a formal class that help keep your weekends, a little more open. And for more ease, if you struggle to pack lunch every day, a catered lunch option is available. There is differentiated instruction that allows for all students to feel safe and seen. And did I mention the engagement and love of teachers, and administration? The list goes on. TLDR: There will never be a center as phenomenal as Rock Spring Children's Center!

Rock Spring Children's Center has been one of the best things to happen to our family. We've been…read moreenrolled since 2020, and left another center and watched both facilities navigate the difficult challenges that COVID presented to the child care industry. Rock Spring administration handled those challenges with grace, transparency and leadership. I've sent both of my kids there, and have grown very attached to many of the teachers. The teachers have always exhibited professialism and a high standard of care for my children. Now my older child is there for before and after care from a local elementary school, and the time he spends playing with other children at Rock Spring seems like a highlight of his days. The infant rooms are full of compassionate caregivers who treat my child like family, relishing in each new skill and milestone. I have spoken highly of Rock Spring to many friends, and asked them to take tours, and the ones who have seen it in person have agreed with my assessment and enrolled their own children. Please consider Rock Spring if you value a high teacher to child ratio, an engaging curriculum for all ages, accommodating administration, low teacher turnover and compassionate staff and teachers. Other tangible pros include regular parents night out events, lots of outdoor play space, extended hours (7a-6p plus extended evening pickup if needed), a convenient location near I270 and I495, social events for parents, optional catered lunch, optional classes including soccer and ballet, plenty of free parking and included breakfast and snacks. Please consider visiting and checking out this wonderful community.

We have seen her blossom in terms of her language and math skills, and perhaps more importantly her sense of confidence, love of learning, and caring and respect for others.

Our daughter enjoyed the new summer program last year and we plan to enroll her again for summer 2017.

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.

Our son of age 2 and a half has attended Connie's family/day care for about three months now, and…read morewe feel very happy for our decision of choosing Connie's. We must say that it not only offers great care to children and great affordability as an excellent daycare should but also provides many preschool-like educational activities for older (2 and above) children, which we value greatly. Connie's is state-accredited and currently has four staff members including Ms. Connie, Ms. Emily, Ms. Esther, and Ms. Sam. Through our careful observations during the initial visits and the following day-to-day interactions, we are confident that they are all fine persons and professional childcare providers whom we can trust to leave our child with. While at Connie's, children have a variety of activities day in and day out. In the morning, there are indoor play time, morning story time, outdoor play, lunch, etc. Following a nap time in the afternoon, there are educational activities such as crafting, singing, reading, etc. Food and drinks are served throughout the day and everyday ends with a closing story time. After a month of attending Connie's, we sensed that our son was better mannered, more self-organized, and more confident. A very useful service Connie's provides is an online communication tool that logs each child's activities. Through the ledger, we know exactly what and how much food our child eats, when and how many times diapers are changed, how long he plays outside. In addition, Connie's also shares photos of children activities through google drive monthly. These features really give us peace of mind and the ease to keep a good record of our child's growth. Last but not least, Connie's is affordable. We are happy to see that the family care is now authorized to accept up to 12 children from the current 8. We are looking forward to our son making new friends!
