We had our daughter in this facility for about 2 months, owing to a brief period in which both of…read moreus parents had to work. The manager has a pleasant and optimistic demeanor, as does the assistant manager. We liked the information sheet idea, so we could clearly communicate the daily situation. The staff usually just put "She had a wonderful day! :-) " however, and it was hard to understand exactly what transpired, or why every day was so wonderful (like N. Korea!). Although well appointed with colorful and safe play furniture, the facility is badly in need of a deep cleaning. As you enter, the vestibule walls are smeared with what seems like years of residue from very young hands. The entry system is confusing and arbitrary: we were given a code to use until our personal code was ready, but we were never given the 2nd code, so we continued using the first one. There were supposed to be sign in sheets for each parent, but it took two weeks for that to be prepared. The sign-in system is entirely voluntary, which seems to be a liability issue for both parent and school! Often, upon entry, there was no one manning the front office. The staff was highly fluid even in the two months and our baby had no fewer than 5 different staff during that time, most of which seemed to be transferred or quit shortly after they worked in the place. A few annoying things we disliked included that staff often peeked out of the front window to see what parent was about to enter. Also, the infant room was divided into two sides, and our baby was often not visible through the room window. Infants were allowed to crawl away from the carpeted areas and on to the linoleum floor and this was not safe, nor were the three wooden rocking chairs, which were a danger to falling toddlers. Finally, it took a good month for our account to be set up so we could pay on line; this seemed to be a company-wide issue, however.

The director or owner kept finding ways to obtain extra money, such as Thanksgiving lunch and end of the year prom.

My child didn't even seem to be excited about going, which was a change from other school experiences. The work seemed unchallenging and dull. I saw and read the high reviews and I signed my child up with high expectations. I was disappointed with what our actual experience was.

They are so well organized and fill the kids days with fun and educational activities. They take the older kids on great field trips. The summer program is more like camp than day care, and my kids absolutely love it - water play or pool every week, a weekly theme, magic show, reptile show, etc. etc. They go out of their way to have family events throughout the year (Thanksgiving feast, Christmas program, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Kick Off to Summer, Fall Festival etc), which make you feel part of the family. They provide all the meals and snacks, usually including a hot and healthy lunch. I always feel confident going to work that my kids are safe and well cared for. It's not easy leaving your little ones all day, but Loving 2 Learn made it so much better! We're really going to miss this school and the staff and other kids now that my little ones are moving on. Recommend highly to anyone looking for child care in the area.

Kierra, who runs the daycare, treated her like family from Day One. It got to the point that my daughter didn't want to leave when I came to pick her up in the evening because she was having so much fun there! Loved the fact that Kierra used an app called Brightwheel so that we can stay in touch throughout the day with messages and pics to see what our little one was doing each day. Kierra also was totally flexible with our work schedules and nights we would get stuck in traffic on the way there. Located in a great neighborhood in Lanham, Md. it's very convenient to Route 495 and 50. My commute everyday was a half hour from Annapolis but it was well worth the drive to know my daughter would be taken care of. Truly one of the saddest days I can remember in a long time when Lily left here to go to Celebree earlier this year.

We love this daycare! Our daughter had been here since it opened when she was almost a year old. We…read moreabsolutely loved how Kierra treated our daughter like family. She was accommodating to our needs and our daughter's schedule. Complete open communication. We had a good trust and understanding that can be hard to build at other places but she made it so easy. Our daughter learned new things every day and we loved seeing that growth. She would come home with new words and eventually new phrases. She learned her colors, letters, numbers and more. She also learned polite manners and how to interact with others. Kierra uses the Brightwheel app and we loved seeing photos of our daughter during the day to see what she was up to. It was also easy to send messages or let her know if we were going to be early or late. The app also made it easy to pay her weekly. Our daughter always looked forward to going to "school" every day and sometimes we couldn't get her to leave! We HIGHLY recommend Kierra's daycare because of the "family" care, love and attention given to our daughter. :)

In our home, we often say that Yudith was a gift that fell from the sky. We used to travel quite…read morefar every day to a pretty good daycare to ensure our daughter was in safe hands. Then one day, by chance, I met Yudith at a park. We talked, and she invited me to visit her daycare, which happened to be close to where we live. When we walked in, we couldn't believe how beautiful, clean, and organized everything was. And on top of that, she seemed so honest and kind. Today, a year later, we can confidently say that Yudith isn't just as wonderful as she appeared--she's truly an incredible woman. My daughter adores her like an aunt, and Yudith has taught her so much! This month, our daughter started Pre-K and is well ahead for her age, thanks to her time with Yudith. Yudith follows the Montessori method, encouraging freedom of expression, fun, and friendship, while also maintaining a solid routine and impeccable transparency. It's a small daycare with only a few children, so the attention is highly personalized. You always know how your child is doing, what they're learning, how they're living--whether it's how they sleep, eat, or play. If you love your children dearly and can enroll them in this daycare, do it! It's a gift that will last them a lifetime. Yudith has been a blessing not only for my daughter but for our entire family. She has so much experience, is transparent, kind, and responsible. I can't emphasize enough how important these qualities are. She's organized and dedicated--we couldn't have been luckier. Our daughter was in the best hands we could have ever imagined. Oh, and the daycare is bilingual! The price is very reasonable, and we don't have a single complaint.

Ms. Melissa is attentive, engaging, and caring. She is a wonderful teacher and has a kind spirit and sweet disposition. My son looks forward to going to school everyday. With her help, he is meeting all of his developmental milestones as well as a second language.
