I would consider them the best childcare facility in QA county. They have ALWAYS provided clear lines of communication. They have held my child through tough days. His teachers are loving and involved in furthering his education. They are FANTASTIC and I recommend them. It would be nice to have a good provider other than Sysco, but I also understand the cost behind feeding many mouths while keeping prices affordable.

I agree completely with Ranak, there's something odd that positive reviews pop up about this…read moreplace....this center still gives me nightmares. They would put my child in equipment that was unsafe, they wouldn't give water to my child, every single week my child had a very very bad rash that would clear up every weekend. I would see babies sleeping with blankets over their head, which can cause smothering and death. The teachers would be asleep in the rooms when I would stop in at random day-times. They lied and told me that my child hurt their head on a gate, when another parent saw them drop my child. She also saw the teacher pushing my child. They would leave kids in strollers crying. I once saw just a teacher with one kid early in the morning and the kid was hyperventilating he was so upset and I asked why she didn't help the kid and asked for her to please help my child when crying...The director told me to leave her teachers alone. I would often times stop in for lunch and they wouldn't even encourage feeding...one kid they would just leave a pacifier in their mouth and then at the end of the 20-30 minutes they would just take their food away. The director is a bully and rude and because I didn't like how they operated she threatened to call social services on me? Why? Because I wanted my child to have water and be safe?! I think she didn't want me to call on her. I know she was angry I talked to another parent about what I saw. We all talk about our kids, if she had been running a better center then I would have been happy. The next place that I ended up told me that 5 of her teachers had interviewed that week for a job at their center...they wanted out too, unhappy workers. She took my last weeks payment and deposit and kicked my child out (after I was already moving to another center and put my notice in) I saw her months later at a grocery store, she did not even recognize me or my child even after trying to talk to my child casually. Neither of us even responded to her. I do not understand how this place is even open. It's not even accredited, please look that up, as a new parent I wasn't aware of how important that was.

We can't say enough about Premier. We moved our children from another local daycare in September…read moreand have seen a radical change in their happiness on a daily basis. After two weeks at their new school any hesitation of being dropped off in a new environment was gone. For the first time ever my 4 year old got in the car and began telling me about what she learned at school, this was after one week of attendance. The classrooms are very well maintained, the school has a curriculum and they share it with parents, there are lots of unique activities for kids, including horse rides every Friday, field trips, Spanish, music and movement classes. We are so happy we switched to Premier! If you are on the fence about a daycare we definitely recommend stopping by to visit the center!

I can not tell you how pleased I am with them. They are so patient and great with the children. My daughter is very particular on who she gets close with but took to them right away.

We have been *beyond* pleased with Guidepost Montessori! The staff are all loving and welcoming,…read moreand we feel our daughter is safe in their care. On the occasional morning when our toddler decides she does NOT want to go to school that day, I can usually hear her tears turn to laughter before I even leave the building. Separation anxiety is normal in small children, and the guides at Guidepost know what they're doing! We enjoy their frequent, clear communication as well as their hours, campus equipment, and the various specialty activities that they offer such as a yearly Saturday pool party or pajama days. If you're in the market for a daycare or preschool that will teach your child(ren) REAL life skills such as cleaning up after themselves as well as subjects such as math, science, and reading, Guidepost is the school for you.

Being in the military, we have moved around a lot and have experienced many different childcare…read morecenters. Guidepost BY FAR has been the best experience. I had 2 children enrolled for the past 2 years and have been blessed to interact with all the staff in the different programs from Nido to Childrens House. They are all absolutely wonderful, especially the Director Caroline and the Assistant Director Liza. Staff go out of their way to assist with difficult transitions and they even show up to birthday parties when invited! I was a sceptic of the Montessori based curriculum but after seeing my kids make huge progress, love learning and teaching us things they learned, and really THRIVE, I am an avid believer. This place is more than a childcare center, this is an extension of family/friends that I truly trust to care for my children. It has been an amazing experience.

The Learning Tree Daycare has been an absolute blessing for our family. Both of my children…read moreattended - my daughter from ages 2 to 4 and my son from 1 to 2 - and I cannot recommend them enough. From day one, the teachers at Learning Tree made my somewhat shy child feel safe, loved, and encouraged. My daughter had a speech delay, and the patience, support, and encouragement she received there helped her so so much. They don't just focus on academics or rigid schedules; they teach kindness, social skills, and everyday life lessons that are just as important as ABCs and 123s at this stage. More than anything, the kids are genuinely *LOVED* - and that makes all the difference. As a working parent, I truly could not have had my career without the trust and peace of mind that Learning Tree provided. They are very reasonably priced, and the new (in 2025) owners and management of the building are just as wonderful as the teachers - professional, kind, and supportive. In 2025 they did a ton of renovations with all brand new floors, classroom toys & supplies, and a brand new outdoor playground with a new fence. Payment is simple and stress-free through their online portal, and the app they use makes communication effortless. Getting pictures and videos throughout the day was such a gift...it warmed my heart to see my kids smiling, playing, and learning in real time. They use a key fob system to enter the building and you have to go through multiple check-points, it is very safe. Before finding Learning Tree, we tried other daycare options in Annapolis that felt cold, too strict, and more like a prison for toddlers than a nurturing environment. Learning Tree was the complete opposite - warm, family-oriented, and rooted in decades of experience. The teachers are unmatched, which is why they've been trusted by families for over 30 years. At the end of the day, these are children - they don't need to learn rocket science, they need to feel LOVED, supported and SAFE. Special shoutouts to Miss Yolanda and Miss Dominique, who went above and beyond every single day. Their dedication, warmth, and love are the heart of the Learning Tree community. If you're looking for a daycare that understands what children need, and will genuinely take care of them as if they were their own - then The Learning Tree is it. I cannot recommend them enough!

I can't say enough good things about our experience with The Learning Tree. From the moment we…read morewalked in, it just felt right. The teachers greet our daughter by name each morning, and it's clear they truly care about each child as an individual. She's come home each day brimming with stories, songs, and new things she's learned--not to mention the adorable art projects we now have proudly displayed all over the house. Watching her blossom socially and emotionally in such a nurturing space has been so reassuring. She's made real friendships and grown in confidence, and I credit so much of that to the gentle, encouraging environment this preschool provides. Communication with the staff has been amazing too--thoughtful updates, photos, and genuine interest in how she's doing. It's one thing to know your child is safe... it's another to know she's truly happy. This place gives us that peace of mind every single day.

Our children were 2 and 4 at the beginning and throughout our time at Goddard, teachers and the leadership team have been dedicated and strong partners in building a school community that is enriching, encouraging and educational for all students. Goddard teachers are exceptional, they make a concerted effort to develop relationships with their students and their families, and day to day activities are thoughtful, engaging, and focused on learning. Our kids often had much to say about what they did at school that day and we greatly enjoyed seeing their photos and the outline of their day through the Tadpoles application. The Goddard leadership team was always accessible and available. Their commitment to consistent and transparent communication was something we valued and certainly, as we progressed through different stages of the pandemic, their frequent updates and willingness to listen and discuss policies and actions taken speaks to their integrity and interest in keeping students in class and well. Beyond the staff, the Goddard facility is impeccable, it's clean and fully furnished with books, toys, and learning resources. While our time at Goddard is ending, we are so glad to share our family's experience, and encourage all seeking child care to visit, take a tour, and meet the staff.

She started when she was just 2 years old, and as an only child, she has flourished in ways I never imagined within just one year. The facility is super clean. Cleanliness is so important for preschoolers, and Goddard takes it seriously. But it's not just the space that's clean--the staff are cheerful, professional, and genuinely happy. And happy caregivers mean happy children. If you're a parent who sometimes struggles with "mom guilt" like I do, you'll appreciate that Goddard provides a real breakfast. Not just a snack, but a hearty morning meal. It takes the pressure off when mornings don't go as planned and you missed breakfast that morning. Goddard is not a daycare--it's a preschool. I didn't fully understand the difference until my daughter started here. The teachers are amazing, the leadership team is respectful and professional, and the owner is warm, approachable, and lovely to speak with. When I moved to the area, I toured more than a dozen childcare facilities, and while many were just "facilities," none came close to the level of care, professionalism, and joy at Goddard Gambrills.
