At the tender age of two years old, i expect the teachers to be open to working with the children as they adjust from a daycare to a structured school. Instead the curriculum was forced and I was told my child was not a good fit. It was a blessing because we were able to find a school that allowed my child to flourish but it's disheartening when you believe your child was not given a fair opportunity. I would say to any parents follow your gut. If it doesn't feel right move on. There are other schools that may work. But still sad.

The Child Development Center at DOL is an absolutely wonderful facility. My daughter has attended…read moresince age 15 months and loves it. I have had nothing but positive experiences, and the incredible impact that the teachers and staff have had on our family is hard to put into words. The facility itself is so fun and I personally think they've got the best playground for a DC daycare by far! It's HUGE and dedicated just to the center. The teachers and staff are so caring and kind and friendly, and they really do participate in my child's growth and development every step of the way. Excellent communication, reasonable pricing, and very accommodating hours. They are the best!

My daughter started at DOL Kindercare when she was about 5 months old. From the first day, I felt…read morelike the center's leadership and her teachers were invested in her and knew how to properly meet her needs. I was always impressed with how involved the center's leadership team (Ms. Elba, Ms. Donneeka, and Ms. Donisha) was in each child's development and how they knew each family. My daughter was so happy in their care, and made little friends in her classroom. I would have kept my daughter in the center until she aged out, but we moved out of the area. The teachers and center leadership still keep in touch with us, which shows how much they care about the children and families in their care. I highly recommend DOL Kindercare!!

Our daughter has been at CHDS for two years and we love the community, the school's stable…read moreleadership, and the pedagogy. It's a little sad that a very small number of parents have taken to Yelp to air grievances, because in our experience the vast majority of parents - and students - are thrilled to be at the school. The idea that CHDS does not take bullying seriously is just plain wrong, as is the idea that the school does not listen to feedback. The truth is, the Head of School is wonderfully accessible (we know this from personal experience) and has a reputation as one of DC's best and longest-serving educational leaders. The teachers are devoted, respond quickly to questions and concerns, and focus on student-centered, inquiry-based learning. The parents get along with each other and build friendships outside of class. The field trips teach soft skills and critical thinking far more rapidly than everyday classroom learning. The building is beautiful, the student body is diverse, the faculty turnover is low, the communication robust, and the destinations for graduates impressive. Most important, our daughter comes home from school happy each day.

The teachers are very…read morekind and gentle and serious about making sure the children are well-prepared for elementary school. But what really sets the school apart is a sense of community - it's a 50+ year old, single-classroom non-profit school which makes for a great environment for the kids to become friends, and the parents too. The school does a great job of providing opportunities for parents who want to be involved in their children's education, from light tasks like helping supervise special crafts sessions to larger commitments like serving as a board member. My older son really did not like the idea of school at the beginning of the school year, but as his academic and social skills improved, now every day is "the best day" and he loves showing us what he learned. It's been great seeing my kiddos blossom in their independence and also enjoy a sense of belonging at this preschool.

In those 10 years, that went way too fast, there was never a day after dropping him off that I worried about his well-being, safety, education, social interactions, Christian development, or overall happiness. The very reasonable tuition was money well spent. Would that these reviews had no word limits. I would go into depth about our experiences in each grade. Everything begins with a stellar staff. From my very first interaction with the pre-k teacher and aide on my son's very first day of school ever, I was put at ease. From day one all the way through 8th grade graduation, I felt blessed to have found this gem. When we were there they offered hot lunch every day, before and after care, field trips, summer camp, CYO Athletics, a super fabulous science curriculum, and weekly Mass. With hindsight now I can see that St. Ambrose prepared my son for the rigors of high school with its looming academic and social challenges. St. Ambrose helped my son become a better student and a young man who lives by the Gospels but never too preachy. He made lifelong friends and had soooo much fun while learning. St. Ambrose, pray for us indeed.

We got a weekly email about what the class was doing. Beyond academics, I am impressed by my child's social and spiritual growth. The teachers model respect and celebrate diversity. Families are welcome to share their traditions and culture, such as Hanukkah and Lunar New Year. Many faculty members are parents of current students and/or alumni, so they care deeply about the school and it shows. The small community builds a priceless sense of safety and trust. My 4-year-old knew middle schoolers by name, and they were always kind role models to the little ones. Many parents are neighbors, so I knew someone would have my back if I had a drop-off or pick up emergency, or forgot show-and-tell day! The admin is hardworking, resourceful, and receptive to parent feedback. Our family is blessed to have St. Ambrose as our church and school.
