I recently had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful park area in Bowie, located directly in…read morefront of the school. While walking my dog, I noticed how well-maintained and family-friendly the grounds were. I could hear the school intercom during what sounded like a summer program activity, possibly a rock-paper-scissors tournament, which created a fun and positive atmosphere. The park itself offers plenty of options for children and families, including playground equipment, swings, slides, basketball and tennis courts, and educational nature signs featuring local wildlife information. The grounds were clean and well-kept overall. The only area that appeared to need some attention was portions of the foam safety surface beneath the playground equipment. My dog and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning. Bowie continues to impress as a community that is welcoming to both families and pets. Adult swings and plenty of places to set for lunch our gold drink.

When I drop my child off, I'm greeted by every staff member and they know my child by name including the principal. The staff engages me in his educational goals regularly and keeps me up to date on all changes to help meet these goals . Lastly, I love that even if my child shows up with a scratch at school, they call me. It might sound like a lot for some parents, but this reassures me that he's an environment that prioritizes safety and attentiveness to each individual child.

My son began attending here when he was 2 1/2 and before then we had one bad experience when he was 12 month's from a daycare in Temple Hills MD. Needless to say he was always home with me and it did take him 2 month's to become adjusted to being away from me BUT I knew it was because he wasn't used to being away from his mommy NOT because he didn't like the center. Now when I drop him off he is all smiles and gives me hugs and kisses and is off to play. They provide healthy morning snacks and evening snacks, you provide your own child lunch and breakfast, they give the children outside time WHICH IS REALLY LOVE AND APPRECIATE any moms out there who have toddler boys knows how much energy they have and allowing them the opportunity to go outside is awesome! The perform developmental tests to make parents aware of how their child is developing. They are hardly ever closed except for major holiday's. They have structured schedules and they do a lot of hands on activities and they give the parents their creations to take home(I hang them on his wall ^_^) This daycare is truly a diamond! They also provide "Date Night's" where they watch the children(for an extra fee) for a couple hours once or twice a month so the parents can have alone time or rest time lol. Your child must be enrolled in order to take advantage of this BUT it is awesome that they provide that service. A++

This place is fabulous! Both of my kids have attended The Children's Center and I have been very…read morepleased with them. Here are the reasons why: 1) reasonable tuition 2) great teachers 3) they helped a lot with potty training 4) they don't call you at work every time your child's nose is running 5) I love their snow policy (some daycare centers close as soon as the first snowflake falls) 6) the office staff are super friendly and most importantly FAIR 7) they open super early I give five stars and they deserve ALL of them!!!

My son was at a previous childcare facility and we had to move him to this one for logistics reasons. However, he seemed to have a hard time settling into this daycare and the "owner" made it her personal responsibility to call me every single day to tell me how badly my child was behaving. we agreed to meet once about three weeks after he joned the center and we discussed ideas on how to help my son settle into the transition, i did everything i had to do and the school never reported back on what they had to do. We had a meeting scheduled for the following wednesday to discuss progress/concerns but instead the owner thought it was best to send me an email on saturday instead to tell me how she has decided to immediately terminate my son's enrollment, two months into the program. I'm sure everyone has a different experience but here is mine and i wont recommend this center to another family looking for childcare in the area.

This school isn't that bad but it's not the best. Ive had some bad moments at the school. But…read moreoverall the school was ok. In this school we have some bad and good teacher. One time there was this teacher who just came and like after 3 days she thought that she ran the whole school. She would boss people around and tell kids her own rules that did not follow the school. There was also a parent who came as a recess teacher and she was telling everybody what to do. She told my class when we were in line treat me like how you treat your parents but some kids don't treat their parents that well. Plus, SHE IS NOT OUR PARENT. and all we did to her was just turn around and she said that we were disrespectful. Anyway, IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO BE IN A GOOD SCHOOL, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO SUFFER, OR HAVE A GOOD TIME. Have a good day or night.

There's a lot of parent involvement, too, which gives you this instant community. There are play groups on the weekend once a month, and you have the opportunity to attend many fun family events.

This was my son's first school. He did enjoy his time there and he did learn a lot. However one of…read morethe deciding factors in us leaving was that there was a teacher there that the kids were TERRIFIED of. When I saw multiple parents talking to their kids ( one of them being us) who were crying hysterically because they were too afraid to go into the class room with this teacher, that was it for us. We pulled him out right away. Discipline is one thing, but 3-5 year olds do not do anything to warrant that. It made us feel uneasy about the whole place to say the least. I normally don't review , but if I were a parent looking for a pre school I would want to know something like this ‍.

Each teacher there also made sure to know each child. My child every morning gave hugs to all the staff to start their day and a hug at the end as well. Field trips were arranged, the curriculum is awesome and fun. Not only did my child learn math and reading, but also culture lessons, Spanish, nutrition, but also had a physical ed class as well. During play the children were learning. The center reaches out to parents and gives the parents tools to help at home as well with educational growth. There is a nap time or quite time for those kiddos who no longer nap. I just can't say enough about how wonderful the staff really is because I never worried about my child while they were at the center.

The teachers are well qualified and Mrs. Gee, the director, is very involved in the enrichment of the staff, parents, and children alike. There was one experience that will never leave me that demonstrated the value of such a wonderful place like the Greenbelt Children's Center-one afternoon I had gone to pick up my sons and found that the children were next door in a recreational room at a concert that had been arranged by the staff. I went in the room and found Mrs.G on the floor with my son and her arm around him, comforting him after a long day. I could see from several feet away that she truly has a passion for what she does and she greatly cares for the children. The center enforces healthy meals and snacks, ensures proper hand-washing of the children constantly to prevent the spread of germs, and the security protocol implemented is comforting, knowing that my children are safe when I leave them in their care. The kids loved having swimming 3 times a week and swimming lessons as an option. My only concern was the price, especially when I had to pay double the tuition for 2, however you can't put a price on a quality facility like GCC. I love GCC and hope that I will be able to afford several more summers there for my children. The experience was unforgettable.
