It was a…read moregreat experience and my little one tried things they were not comfortable with in the ninja course and had a great time! Coaches were super helpful, and liked that they respected the kids when helping. I was also happy to see that classes were not over packed like other establishments we have tried before. We will definitely be trying other classes after this one! I'll update as this was the first time we have taken a "class". It's still less structured than I anticipated but still loved that the coaches helped my little build confidence to try new things and didn't push them to try!

My daughter loves the classes and does not want me to cancel ever. She began coming her since Feb on her 9th birthday and was enrolled into beginner blooms. After 6 months they recommended her go into intermediate blooms. I love that. They evaluate the kids to see when they are ready to go to the next step and give you the option to switch classes when available. The goal is for them to get better so seeing this and what she can do validates that. I love the show cases they have for the parents. And on an everyday basis there is seating for parents when you are waiting for the class to be finished. If you have to makeup a class it's super easy! I didn't do it right the first time and Thaina assisted me virtually to make my experience pleasant . Great customer service here. I cannot wait to continue to see my child development here. Thank you all

My 3 year old started school at Clarksburg Little steps on opening day and he has grown into an independent, well-spoken, and determined 5 year old. He has been introduced to concepts in practical living that are life-long skills and will serve him well for years to come. He feels as he has the freedom to explore and extend his thinking in a safe, clean, and caring environment. At first I felt like the Montessori style seemed like magic that kids will roll out a mat and calmly work with a material, putting it away when they're done, etc. It of course takes time to teach them this, but I am a believer after seeing the progress our son has made. He also takes pride in the independence he has gained and when he successfully accomplishes a task. We feel so lucky to have found a school where our son seemed to be thriving at. We have been very pleased with Clarksburg Little steps. Thank you for everything!

I was able to park directly in front of the entrance and walk right in. The setup was really nice--plenty of tables and a huge area for dancing. The DJ was spinning not only the hits but also deep cuts and some previously unreleased versions of his songs. Behind her, a projector played clips from Prince's past performances, which added a great visual vibe to the night. There was a small cash bar offering Prince-themed cocktails, plus beer and wine. The staff were fantastic and even popped in a few times to dance and celebrate with us. The venue itself was absolutely gorgeous--cool and comfortable despite all the dancing. I never imagined this would be such a great place to host or attend a party, but I'd definitely come to another event here.

They hold monthly open leadline classes for children up to five years old…read more The leadline class is $5 per child and they take turns being led around the ring on the different horses and ponies. My daughter loved it the first time we went, and I was so happy to get the opportunity to expose her to a new experience and see the transformation from completely hysterical and freaked out to really enjoying herself. Of course for about a week afterwards, I had to endure questions like "Will we see Muffin, Rollo, and Peanut tomorrow?" and "Can you buy me Rollo for my backyard?" and "Why can't I have a horsey that is little just like me?" If you have a pre-schooler- this an hour a month of fun. I can't review the other aspects of the stable- since this is all I've done. PS: If you are going for the first time, you have to take a right at a big green sign into a long hidden driveway. You won't actually see 13431 on the side of the road.

I grew up riding at barns where the horses were already tacked up and you just hopped on for the lesson. I learned more about horsemanship at KVS in the year I've been riding here than 7 years of riding as a kid, not to mention how fast I improved my riding with Sara, the head trainer, in a year after a 10 year hiatus. KVS offers something for all ages, ability, and ambition. Cannot recommend this barn enough.

Not only have I sent 3…read moreemails about the additional days that MCPS closed their offices over winter break (it's been almost 2 weeks), I'm not even getting a reply to let me know they're looking in to the situation. The Poolesville location is like the forgotten campus....old toys, NO type of "extra" activities, like a moon bounce, turkey trot, or even the materials to do these activities (the pictures from all of the other campuses look lovely...they are not even a small representation of their Poolesville location). The staff are not all qualified, they don't know how to talk to the children correctly, and it's really a shame because they only have *maybe* 20-25 kids at any given time, which means they could be doing SO much with the kids and location, yet it's apparent that they don't care. Their staff is treated poorly (that's been made very clear by the fact that our location has new staff members multiple times EVERY school year) and the staff that do try, are basically just left to sink or swim with very little guidance. My child is only there because she has an incredible connection to 1 teacher, she is totally self sufficient, and because their enrollment is so low, she enjoys not having a million kids around. We've been at this location for 5 years, and nothing has changed. No matter the conversations had with their head office, the licensing violations, or any other parent complaints. I've given them 5 years to fix problems and they don't. Enough is enough. I'd enroll elsewhere, if you have the option.

I filled out some forms to then find out he wasn't eligible bc his medical forms at school weren't updated yet (apparently the nurse at school has been backed up on requesting these records) so we couldn't get him in. Later, I started receiving statements for tuition and for $150 registration form. I wrote an email to Jeimy at Tuition and she said the fee was for just registering my child. I explained to her that he never attended and we had canceled the registration and she said that the fee had to be paid anyway. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Their registration process was so tedious, their staff is rude, and rarely answer the phone, AND MY KID NEVER WENT THERE! Anyway, I kept getting harassed with emails weekly abt the registration fee of $150, I finally just paid for it bc I was getting bombarded. They literally stole $150 from me. BEWARE!

Shortly after we were warned by someone we met that it's not a good school, they were right. There are many families on grants and financial support (lower income),which we did not mind, though there is no system in place and the preschool lacks leadership and clear guidance from the director and corporate. Teachers don't seem to know when asked questions and do not make any decisions. Often, staff members were on their cell when I came to pickup. It is not Regio or Montessori teaching approach, and from what I've seen the teachers cut and glue the art projects, the children learn by repeating and being indoctrinated with information instead of exploring hands-on and being asked open-ended questions. We were not updated when there were issues that rose, and only found out after the fact that things were handled poorly and without any consent from the parents. This is our third child and I work in education, if you value your child's education and want them to thrive in a supportive, welcoming and communal environment, there are better options out there.
