Shortly after writing the original review, the main "instructor" for my child was switched to a…read moredifferent room. Who knew that would make all of the difference in the world!?! You know, actually having someone who LIKES babies taking care of babies! The new instructors were Ms. Cathy and Ms. Irene, both of whom seemed to care greatly for each individual baby and his/her needs. The care for better with them. My baby grew and started interacting better, and those two continued to encourage her to explore while maintaining a watchful, safety eye. I do still feel that the pre-toddlers are a little old for that room. I know some places move the babies out to a different room when they're 12 months AND can walk. My only other complaint, and it's not so much the staff, but in the summer, there are quite a number of ants inside the rooms. I'm sure that just comes with the location. Or maybe Fort Meade can put it in their budget to update the building.

We had a very troubling experience with this Goddard School…read more We disclosed our son's ADHD prior to enrollment and explained that his medication was actively being adjusted. Despite this, he was given only a few days to acclimate before being sent home, briefly allowed back after a meeting, and then dismissed entirely -- without a reasonable adjustment period or meaningful accommodations. His twin sibling was allowed to remain enrolled. During one meeting, the owner, Melvise Powell, yelled at my husband and me and abruptly told us to leave her office. We also became aware that another individual appeared to be listening in via the office phone without our knowledge, which raised serious concerns under Maryland's two-party consent law. When this was pointed out, the meeting was immediately ended and we were ordered out. Additionally, our daughter later reported that an employee would pinch her when she did not nap, which we found extremely alarming and concerning. ADHD is a recognized disability under the ADA, and excluding a child without attempting reasonable accommodations -- combined with unprofessional conduct and concerning reports about staff behavior -- raises serious concerns. Based on our experience, the owner was extremely rude and unprofessional, and families should steer clear of this school!!

The administrative team was incredibly collaborative and really took the time to help me find the most flexible care option for my family's needs. The teachers were absolutely wonderful. They were warm, attentive, and made my child feel comfortable right away. It was clear that they truly care about the children and creating a positive environment for them. I was honestly so impressed with how smoothly everything went and how kind everyone was throughout the entire experience. Because of how great it was, we are definitely planning to come back for summer care. I'm so grateful we found The Primeron Odenton and would highly recommend it to other families looking for flexible, caring childcare.

She is professional, attentive, and genuinely cares about the children, the families, and her staff. She is very hands-on and always present, making sure things run smoothly while creating a warm and supportive environment for everyone. The assistant director, Loretta, is just as wonderful. She is supportive, kind, and clearly dedicated to the success of the center. Together, Kaela and Loretta make a fantastic leadership team. You can tell they both truly care about the program, the staff, and the families they serve. The staff has improved so much as well.

Sona is truly a child whisperer in the way that she is able to meet children exactly where they are and lead them into their most amazing selves. The activities she engages them in fosters independence and real world transferrable skills that are evident when the kids are outside of school/care. Transitioning my son to elementary school was an absolute breeze and I whole heartedly believe that is largely in part due to Sona's investment in my child. Notably, the support, guidance, and patience she demonstrated during the COVID-19 shutdown was immeasurable. My child understood masking, germs, and protecting self and others which is wildly impressive for a then two year old who's world changed over night. Both of my children have routinely hit developmental milestones on time or ahead of schedule in an organic and supported manner. Oh and I forgot to mention, the kids get exposed to organic local produce that they learn to grow responsibly and sustainably in Sona's personal garden. I truly cannot say enough good things about Sona and her childcare center.

Outdoor time is also an important part of our program. We ensure that children are exposed to the outdoors and all the wonders that come with it. We have a fenced in outdoor play area where children can run, jump, and explore. We also take the children on supervised walks to the nearby park and have special activities, like nature scavenger hunts, that help them learn about the environment. We prioritize playtime and outdoor time because we believe it’s essential for children to develop and grow in a safe and stimulating environment.

Apparently this place has been open since February but I never knew until flags and signs were posted on 175 (aka Annapolis Road) telling of this place. I pass this area multiple times and never knew this place was back there. So maybe with Yelp more of you will discover this place. The place is very new and very clean with an open area for performances. Remember this is owned by a church so no twerking. Well maybe a little. I went with a fish (whiting) platter that comes with a choice of two sides and a drink. On this day I went with the unusual combination red beans and rice along with mac n cheese. The platter comes with three fish and trust me the mac n cheese is no out of the box stuff. The red beans and rice was good but it had a bit of sweetness to it. Still it was good with plenty of bits of sausage in it. One thing I noticed is that the platter came with no bread. For some of you it will not be a big deal but for me it is a staple in fish dinners..........along with hot sauce. The fish was good and cooked once I ordered but I think it could have used more seasoning. Not a bad place and it offers a little extra diversity here in Odenton. If you get an urge to grab some food from here don't come on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday as they are closed.

On my first visit, I popped in to grab a bite before a meeting to prevent hanger from setting in. I ordered the fish sandwich and it comes with fries. Now being fond of fish I know fresh fish when I am served it. I truly believe that this was last night's fish warmed up for me. Oh how I longed for that sizzling pant that freshly fried fish embodies. On this occasion I think a lil microwave magic occurred. Hold on while I bow my head in sadness. Ok, I'm back. I get it, you can't just throw away food if business is slow but you're guaranteed to lose a customer serving leftovers and hoping they just go along with it. First impressions are fragile as they can make or break a person's decision to patronize an establishment again. This wasn't a terrible visit but given that they are new and making adjustments I may go again but fish won't be my choice. The portion was respectable and the server was very accommodating. Parking is plentiful and they have free wi-fi for customers. They have a huge projection screen tv to watch as you dine. It's a little confusing when you initially walk in and want to order to go. There are no counters so you'll just have to just get someone's attention or be seated and wait.
