The daycare uses the Tadpoles app to send pictures (and sometimes short video clips) to parents daily. The app also sends a daily report showing the times and details of feedings and diaper changes. As a first time parent, this technology made me feel more comfortable sending my infant here. The teachers encouraged me to visit my baby anytime, if I was feeling anxious. I would highly recommend this daycare.

After 5 wonderful years with Little Apple Daycare, I cannot recommend them highly enough…read more Entrusting someone with your children is one of the biggest decisions a parent can make, and the team at Little Apple has truly become like family to us. They have provided a safe, loving, nurturing, and educational environment where our children have grown, learned, and thrived. From celebrating milestones and birthdays to teaching kindness, confidence, and school readiness, they have played such an important role in our children's lives. The teachers genuinely care about every child and treat them with so much patience, love, and attention. As our youngest graduates, we are filled with gratitude for everything Little Apple has done for our family. Thank you for the countless hugs, lessons, smiles, and memories over the years. We will always cherish our time with you. If you are looking for a daycare in the Ellicott City area, Little Apple Daycare is truly a special place.

I am posting this as someone who did not send my child here (for personal reasons). That said, I…read morefeel obligated to post something based on my particularly positive experience with her. I was impressed with Celines flexibility about scheduling a tour. After touring many places over the years, I've noticed that when staff only want you to come at a specific time and refuse to allow you to come at other times it is a red flag. Even if kids are napping, I can peek through a window or at least just meet with a teacher. Celine seemed to understand that I was pressed for time, and worked with my neuroses! She was kind, understanding and flexible. I would, at the very least, schedule a tour and meet her/see her daycare.

He has already been through months of tutoring at another firm and did not preform well on the ACT. Harriett laid out a plan to help him be successful. his score went up 7 points in the ACT which is a difference maker in the college application process. Additionally, the skills around Reading that he now has will help him be more successful in college. I highly recommend Breakthrough Test Prep!

When our second kiddo started at 4 months, I was really struggling with returning to work. But the baby also wasn't sleeping well and we were all struggling.

For an entire year, my daughter was denied a vegetarian meal, despite my providing a doctor's note…read moreand repeatedly informing staff of her dietary needs. Gloria was the staff member responsible for not providing the meal, and this was not a matter of miscommunication--it was a consistent disregard for both medical and parental instructions. In addition, I have witnessed and experienced targeted treatment toward my children, particularly my youngest. For example, when another child physically harmed my 5-year-old, the incident was overlooked. However, if my daughter made a verbal remark, it was treated as a serious offense. This pattern of inconsistent discipline, favoritism toward certain children, and a dismissive attitude toward others raises serious concerns about inclusivity, fairness, and possible racial bias. In my observations, Gloria frequently displayed a rude and unwelcoming demeanor toward children she did not favor, while showing preferential treatment to others. This environment does not reflect the values of respect, equity, and inclusion that should be expected in a setting responsible for the well-being and development of children.

I had a lot a of anxiety bringing the baby to care but the management team and the infant teachers were nothing but supportive and welcoming which helped my family have a smooth transition back to work. I love the activities in both the infant classroom and the toddlers and twos programs. I have noticed my oldest picking up with his speech and other skills so fast and I owe it to this center. I also love the community feel of this school. Between events and other ways the school has gotten involved to help others, my family and I are just so happy to be apart of it. Ultimately, being able to wake up every morning and watch my oldest excited to go to school is priceless!
