He's currently in the infant room, where Cherice and Abby serve as his primary teachers. They are both phenomenal and have played a pivotal role in his growth and development. From day one, we felt completely at ease with them, and over time they've come to feel like an extension of our family. Our son absolutely loves them -- something that's clear not only in person, but also in the daily photos we receive through their app. His comfort and attachment to them is very obvious, and it's incredibly reassuring to see. Beyond just Cherice and Abby, the entire staff at Chesterbrook has always been warm, professional, and attentive. It's clear that everyone there genuinely cares about the children. The daycare is clean and thoughtfully structured to support each stage of development. Another bonus: Chesterbrook provides all diapers, wipes, and food, which has made the day-to-day routine for my wife and I much easier.

Over 5 years later with that baby in kindergarten, I can say with confidence that Everbrook is all that and more. Angela, the principal, is one of best early childhood educators out there. She's put together an amazing team, and they support both you and your child (ren) through every stage. I have consulted Angie and her staff on how best to help my kiddo through everything from potty training and sleep regressions to reward systems. My kiddo (and the entire Junior Kindergarten class) graduated into Kindergarten not only with all the skills they needed to succeed in Kindergarten, but also understanding phonics and able to read simple books! Now part of LCPS, we are thrilled to continue at Everbrook as part of the School Age offerings and summer camp. I cannot reccomend Angela, her team, and Everbrook strongly enough.

EXTREME CAUTION: They will take your money and disappear…read more I am writing this to warn any parent considering Guidepost Montessori: Do not trust them with your deposit. My son stopped attending this school in November. Since then, Guidepost has been sitting on a full month's tuition deposit with absolutely no intention of returning it. For four months, I have been met with nothing but "manual processing" excuses, "60-90 day" delay tactics, and empty apologies from the regional leadership team and the campus leadership team. Despite providing regional leadership with clear deadlines and rejecting their vague explanations, they have completely ghosted me. My deadline passed with zero follow-up and zero transfer. It is now clear that their "apologies" are a scripted stall tactic. Whether this is due to the company's widely reported financial instability or sheer administrative incompetence, the result is the same: They are withholding thousands of dollars from a family while providing zero service. If you value your hard-earned money and want to avoid months of stressful, fruitless hovering over an unresponsive billing department, stay far away. A school that lacks the integrity to return a simple deposit cannot be trusted with the care and education of your child. Guidepost Leadership: Give me my money back.

We enrolled our twin girls here at 16 months old. They had never been to a daycare. We left…read moreBeantree after 3 months. I initially decided not to post a review, but my husband convinced me that other parents may find my feedback valuable. Starting with the first week, our girls were consistently sick. We expected common colds, but they repeatedly got pink eye, ear infections, and one of our girls caught the flu. My husband thought it was too much but I convinced him to stay and that it was to be expected. However, since starting at our new school, our girls have not been sick once (granted, it has only been one month). The many rooms they rotate throughout the day is great for learning experiences, but I think it also helps facilitate germs between the different age groups. The adjustment was rough. Every drop off was filled with lots of tears and leg holding, but I fully expected this. This was the norm, even 3 months after starting. Overall, their teachers were very nice and seemed caring, but I believe it was hard to adjust because we could not depend on the same teachers being in the classroom at drop off. I tend to drop my girls off between 8am and 8:30am and sometimes there would be the usual teachers and sometimes not. This did not help with the adjustment. My girls thrive on consistency - I knew which teachers each of my girls "preferred" and when they were there for drop off, it made things a little smoother. They have monitors in the reception area that let you watch your child's classroom. I would typically make a cup of coffee (great perk!) and then go look at the cameras. After about 5 minutes, they would settle down and I would leave for work. One particular day, I made my usual cup of coffee and looked at the cameras. One of my girls was standing in the corner looking at the wall. It was very unusual. I stood there watching and just waiting for someone to go see if she was okay. No one did. It was heart wrenching. I watched for 9 minutes until my heart could not take it anymore and I asked the receptionist to come look at the monitor. As I was talking to her, one of the teachers went to my daughter, but only because they were gathering all the students to move to a different room. I left that morning and cried all the way to work. I felt so bad for my daughter and I felt like a horrible mom for having to leave her there and go to work. I decided at that moment I could not leave my children there anymore. They do not have the capability to watch your children remotely (which I was fine with - hacking is real!), but I need to be able to trust that my children are being taken care of and that trust was gone. That evening at pickup, their teacher did apologize and stated that it probably appeared worse than it was and that she was talking to my daughter from a distance. Maybe that's true, maybe not. Even if true, I want my children to attend a place where if they go stand in a corner facing a wall for 10 minutes, someone walks up to them to ensure they are okay. After we notified them we were leaving, the director asked for a meeting. We met with her and one of the teachers. If I wasn't already set on leaving, this meeting would have settled it. To further explain the corner incident, they said they typically leave Twin A alone in moments like this and she eventually comes around. During this meeting, they also decided to diagnose Twin A with anxiety. I was angry. To be clear, she does not have anxiety but she does take time to adjust to new people - as many toddlers do. They should leave the medical diagnoses for doctors. Additionally, they provided us daily reports and not once did a daily report or teacher say Twin A stands in corners or that they think she has anxiety. I also watched the monitor every morning and never observed this either. They proposed putting my twins in separate classrooms. I am a lawyer, also not a doctor, but it seems like that would worsen a twin's anxiety if they'd been together all day every day for 18 months. We started at a new school days later and to say they are thriving would be an understatement. Within a week, Twin A, with her supposed anxiety, was smiling during drop offs. Seeing my girls grow and enjoy their new school as happy AND healthy toddlers made me realize they don't have to be sick all the time and they don't have to be sad at drop offs. I feel awf They did have a lot of positives too - They have great perks like coffee for the parents in the morning and to go snacks for the kids in the afternoons. They also provide diapers, wipes, and diaper cream which is really nice. I think this is to be expected for the cost you pay, but price aside, not having to regularly haul a ton of diapers in for 2 toddlers (they go through a lot!) is a huge convenience for this busy mom. It was one less thing to remember in the morning. During our time there, they had a spirit week which was really fun - we enjoyed dressing the girls up for the different themed days.

And as most of you know time is fleeting when you see your child grow. It doesn't hit you at once. It slowly envelopes you and brings realization that he's quickly growing up. This morning as I do I walk him to his school entrance door at 7:30 bc he wants to be the first one in. Just yesterday we did our usual routine of talking outside and me asking for one last hug and kiss. He walks thru the door and stands along the wall with some classmates and tells me not leave but to watch him walk down the hall...a city block long... every couple of feet he turns and waves, smiles and continues down until he is just a yellow fleece sleeve waving at me. Then this morning the door opens and he turns quickly and says "daddy, quick last hug and kiss" then through the door starts his walk. This time all alone. Walking confidently, so self assured, he was 6' tall like he was going to work. How does this happen? He's only 5. Just yesterday he was a tiny baby, we napped in the hot summer afternoon and now he doesn't need my hand.....I cherish every moment with him as if it were the last, telling stories under the covers, of two bluebirds that watch him play and talk about him....." We attribute his self assured level headed maturity to you and your program over his 1st 5 years. He is mow the sweetest boy, a good healthy 5 yr old. His passion for reading and creativity continues to grow every day. Thank you.

Like an overachieving aspiring tiger mom, I did my due diligence and toured 5+ schools! Winwood won our hearts. Pros for Winwood are 1) their flexibility with variations of 2-5 half/full day schedules and 2-week payment vs inflexible options of other places 2) Ms Tish is super welcoming and understanding while giving the right level of authority that even my Monkey listens to 3) All the validation to show that my child is cared for, socializing, and having fun (there are daily reports, photos, a video camera access). 4) Covid-conscious - the staff does all necessary protocol and teachers are properly masked. 5) My kiddo is super happy between learning about volcanos and chasing around his besties trio as dinosaurs 6) While we have moved away since but Ms Katie and Ms Nimisha still are at the tip of my kiddo's tongue for being such caring educators. In summary, Ashburn truthfully has a lot of great and affordable child care options (in comparison to where we are now), but we made the best choice with Winwood.
