The New Century School is a great concept but is hampered by the admissions office…read more The school grounds is spacious for city standards. The separate gym building provides space for birthday parties. They have a indoor climbing apparatus (a somewhat dangerous one), bounce house, and large gym blocks. The space is open and a good size space for birthday parties for smaller kids. For the school itself, the main flaw is the New Century admissions process. It lacks structure, there is one person in charge. The person in charge, DS, is "disingenuous" as described by the first review. Since she alone runs the visits, the applicants are selected based off of her own personal evaluations and thus, her preferences and biases. Determining which 1-2 year old is more qualified than the next seems like a great skill, until its clear she does not look below the surface. Great space for a school, needs new administration, and the administration needs oversight.

Ask to visit places you're interested in and sit in the rooms.

(It's closer to my work and I am not sure if all daycares are handling the precautions like this place during these times)! Highly recommend this daycare in Fed Hill.

I can without a doubt say that Celebree is our best experience. My son started at Celebree just a few months before his 2nd birthday in the Toddler room with Miss Martinique, Miss Zaire, and Miss Alyssa. After a difficult experience in his last school, we were all nervous but these three women embraced him with open arms and created a safe place for him to flourish. Within days of his start we saw a huge improvement in his behavior (fewer tantrums) and within weeks we saw an explosion in his language. We felt like we finally had a team together for his development. He had us at home and his amazing providers at school helping him grow and thrive, so we were worried when it was time for him to graduate up to the two year old class. We should not have been. Ms. Tammy and Ms. Shabria took the incredible loving foundation we had in Toddler and built on top of it. I've seen my son's language and socialization take off with their care. He LOVES school. When I picked him up yesterday he didn't want to come home, and as he grabbed his stuff from his classroom he ran into his old room to give Miss Martinique a hug. The best part of Celebree though? These are not one-off experiences. It starts with the school's leadership. My son knows Ms. Tameka (Director) and Ms. Patricia (Assistant Director) by name and gets excited to greet them every day. Every single teacher knows every single kid's name. These kids are surrounded by love and care at all times, and every parent I've met at the school has had a comparable experience. We could not be more grateful, and I recommend the school to all parents looking for a safe and loving environment for their children.

I am sharing a firsthand experience so other parents can make an informed decision…read more While my 2-year-old daughter was crying in class, I observed a staff member snatch a toy from her and throw it against the wall. I witnessed this in real time through the classroom camera. I immediately entered the classroom, removed my daughter, and requested to terminate our enrollment. The school did not acknowledge the incident or offer an apology. Instead, they stated that I acted aggressively, which I disagree with--I addressed what I had just witnessed and asked for accountability. If my behavior had truly been aggressive or threatening, it is unclear why no authorities were contacted at the time. This raises questions about how that claim is being characterized after the fact. When I requested that the footage be reviewed, I was told that the cameras do not record and only provide live viewing. Despite the situation, they have continued to charge tuition through the notice period. I have also reported this incident to the appropriate agencies and organizations to ensure it is properly reviewed. Parents should be aware that without recorded footage, incidents like this cannot be independently verified after the fact.

We are very happy here. Our children started at 3 years old in the preschool class. The class size has ranged from 6-10. They have an excellent curriculum. I remember driving home one day and my 3 year old daughter was counting to 100 in the back seat. And a couple of weeks later, she was counting to 10 in Spanish! They have special programs too: library day once a week in the summer, splash day, field trips. There is an outdoor play area which they get to enjoy twice a day on nice days and plenty of education and fun to be had indoors. Did I mention yoga Thursdays? Truly we couldn't be happier with the culture there. And then there's the staff. These exceptional women helped me through one of my tougher moments as a mom: raising kids before/during/after surgery. They have answered my questions and allowed flexibility when I needed it. They have been undergoing administrative processes to standardize some of their back end. All-in-all an excellent center with excellent people. It is a place that I trust with my children and that's not a small thing to say.

As an added bonus, they will know Mandarin too! Our son, age 5 has been going there since age 2 and his independence, knowledge and creativity have skyrocketed. It started the first week he came home from school sweeping the floor, helping to put dishes in the dishwasher, and one morning, he even made me eggs for breakfast! He now teaches us Chinese at home. Our daughter also goes to school here now for about 9 months. She too has developed in her own right, learning about the world around her and interacting with others in a polite, social context. Having on more introverted child and one more extroverted one gave us pause at first, however the school has been more than adequate at helping them both grow in their own ways and at their own pace. If you're not familiar, we highly recommend you review the montessori method and see if it would fit with your family. If so, then Tong Le should definitely be top on your list!
