We consider our son's teachers part of our family, to which we owe a huge part of his success to. His little classmates are such wonderful little influences, and the their parents have been wonderful to interact with as well. The community at Kiddie Academy has made our lives better, and we could not be happier with the administration (who we still see and talk to EVERY day), the phenomenal teachers, the learning activities and opportunities, and the overall atmosphere. We put our complete trust in them every day, and it has been so nice to login on my phone ANY time and see what art project he's working on via their camera system, have videos sent to me of what he's doing via the Tadpoles app, and know exactly how long he napped for, how much he ate, how many times he went to the bathroom, what they learned in their curriculum that day, and the ability to read the books and learn the songs he is learning via the weblinks sent in the Tadpoles app. One of our son's favorite things is to come home and have us ask about his day, with all the little details we've read on the app. Sometimes, I'll learn the stories and songs before he comes home and surprise him with it before bed, and he's completely overjoyed that I know the songs and books he learned about that day. Even writing these experiences, it truly makes my heart smile. I'm sure this is all sounding like I was paid to write this, or I'm getting some type of compensation, but honestly, I'm not. Awesome daycare is EXTREMELY hard to find, and so I hope that through my review, you can see that this is one of the few that exist.

I give FELP a lot of credit for the curiosity and joy of learning that my son still exhibits as a middle schooler.

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.

As an employee of the Little School (6mo-5 years), I get to nurture and mold the youngest of the students on campus. My Toddler class loves to ride in the buggies around campus, say hello to students & staff, as well as enjoy the many views and sounds that they encounter along the way. This is a place of great tradition and quality. Many who are employed here, like myself, tend to stick around because the experience is hard to replace, and impossible to duplicate!

Alice's true authentic Montessori school was warm and inviting. Unfortunately due to distance from us we decided may not be the best fit, but assure any parent her attention to detail and sections for children to focus on math, cursive, and art was nothing less than a beautiful display. The children are able to water flowers and do arrangements, have access to beautiful grounds and nature. Highly recommend and if location / travel time from where we live in Columbia was more feasible would have enrolled our daughter. A must for any parent looking for AMI teaching!!!

Finding that all together is hard, but also so important. My toddler loves and is benefiting from practical life work, and so needs the grace and courtesy and independence that great Montessori primary programs can foster. I'm so, so grateful that Apple Ridge and Ms. Alice are here for him.

(It's closer to my work and I am not sure if all daycares are handling the precautions like this place during these times)! Highly recommend this daycare in Fed Hill.

We started my son here at 8 months old and my daughter at 3 months old (they are now 21 mo and…read more6mo). We couldn't be happier with the care they have been receiving. The teachers here have treated both of my children with so much love and warmth, it is obvious from the way my son happily sprints into the center every morning, and the huge smile on my 6 month olds face everytime she sees Ms. Mo, one of her providers. There is very little turnover, and the same people have been taking care of both of my kids the entire time they have been here. They have a curriculum in which the kids are doing something new and creative every day (with music, art, dancing, sign language, stories, etc), and even though the center doesn't have its own outdoor space, they go out to the park and local playground most days. There is also a very large indoor gymnasium so all winter the kids have a lot of active space to run and play. We really felt that the quality of the providers was exceptional, and even though we got off of a waitlist at a center that was logistically easier for us and closer to home, we chose to stay with MVPELC because our kids were so happy there. They are both developmentally thriving. The manager is also very responsive and clearly cares about the children and her staff. We are moving out of state and will be very sad to leave, as it is rare to find places like this that feel like part of your family. looking on yelp I see a lot of negative reviews, so it may be helpful to note that the place changed management around 2017 or 2018. We started in 2020 so I can't speak for how things were under the old management.

The New Century School is a great concept but is hampered by the admissions office…read more The school grounds is spacious for city standards. The separate gym building provides space for birthday parties. They have a indoor climbing apparatus (a somewhat dangerous one), bounce house, and large gym blocks. The space is open and a good size space for birthday parties for smaller kids. For the school itself, the main flaw is the New Century admissions process. It lacks structure, there is one person in charge. The person in charge, DS, is "disingenuous" as described by the first review. Since she alone runs the visits, the applicants are selected based off of her own personal evaluations and thus, her preferences and biases. Determining which 1-2 year old is more qualified than the next seems like a great skill, until its clear she does not look below the surface. Great space for a school, needs new administration, and the administration needs oversight.

Mid 1990's, after decades of being unchurched, I asked an Episcopalian friend to take me on a…read moreBaltimore church tour, hoping to find a church home where I might want to worship. I visited several churches that were not for me. But 5 minutes into the service at Grace and St. Peter's, I said "This is the one." I am a T.S. Eliot student, and thought that the great poet himself would have felt comfortable at G.A.S.P. In Eliot's words, a place "where prayer has been valid." The liturgy, the hymns, the very scent of the place reached my brain and awakened feelings of peace and contentment from long ago. If you want to walk into church chatting up your friends during the organ prelude, if you want to call your priest "Joe," if you want to take a long social break during the sign of peace, then G.A.S.P might not be the church for you.Yet the parishioners are friendly and a coffee hour follows the Sunday service. The priests are attentive. Please give this beautiful church a try! D. R. Borsella
