We've had a great experience at Tiny City Academy with our infant. We've been there for about 3…read moremonths so far and he started around 4 months old. The teachers are so loving and clearly care deeply for the kids. My baby bursts into a big smile each morning when we drop him off with his teachers. We get daily updates on bottles/food and diaper changes, plus photos of him solo and him interacting with the other babies in the classroom. The facility is clean, and the admins are welcoming and also know the kids by name. We've loved TCA so far and would certainly recommend to other parents!

I was very nervous seeing as we had an issue at the last center my children attended. Ms. Lena and…read moreMs. Maria are fantastic. They were able to answer all my questions and put my mind at ease. They were also able to accommodate a start date several days earlier then anticipated. My kids have been here for almost 6 months! And my how they've grown! My daughter has blossomed into a beautiful toddler, helping take care of the other babies, saying good morning and good bye each day to all the teachers and Ms. Maria and Ms. Lena! We can't start the day without a hug. She loved her infant teachers, and her toddler teachers are amazing!!! And my son, he hates when I pick him up early. He enjoys Tiny City and is happy that his class has grown from only a few to many. He's "the man" in the preschool classroom in the evening when they are combined, which he loves. He enjoys helping the other kids.

We did our little boys 3rd birthday at Wonder and can't say enough good things about our…read moreexperience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a stunning welcome sign and balloons, which immediately made us feel both taken care of and truly celebrated. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, making the day not only stress-free but genuinely special for everyone. As a working mom juggling a side business, I cannot express how much I appreciated the simplicity and ease the team provided. Our guests were thrilled, especially since we were able to enjoy both indoor and outdoor playtime. It was fantastic watching the kids explore, laugh, and make memories in a space so well designed for fun and connection. We regularly visit Wonder for playdates with our littles, and it never fails to deliver a delightful experience. The staff is always warm and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages families to truly unplug and reconnect. If anyone is searching for a spot to bond with their kids and take a break from the distractions of daily life, Wonder is the place to be. Spending a few hours here, watching your children's eyes light up, is such a gift.

Wonder is an indoor & outdoor play area for younger kids (walkers to age 6, per their website). My…read morelittle one is 14 months and she loved it! We can't wait to come back - especially when the weather is nice and we can explore the outside area. Highly recommend a visit! There are 3 stories - first and second level have an assortment of play areas, toys, and activities. Level 3 had a craft set up (making pipe cleaner lollypops!). Level 2 also has free coffee for (tired) parents :). The downstairs restroom has a changing table and is fully stocked with wipes & diapers - so appreciated! We spent over an hour here and my LO didn't want to leave. We did a walk-in but you can book entry online. It's a bit pricy but you get what you pay for IMO. They do also sell 10 packs and memberships which brings the per visit price down. I could see this place getting crowded as it gets more popular (currently only been open for 1.5 months).

WOW! We LOVED our visit and have already booked another! This gym is really designed with…read moresensitivity in mind for kids who are sensory-seeking but is accessible for all levels of ability. My son kept repeating the phrase on the wall "the first playground where I never have to say sorry" or something to that effect. He had a huge smile on his face the whole time and it was so amazing to watch him have fun in a sensory safe, calm environment. For most of the visit, it was just me and my two kids so not too noisy which can be a barrier at indoor playgrounds at times for us. He did not want to leave to go home and that's rare for him! Open play is $22/child with $20/ additional siblings for two hour time slots that can easily be reserved online. Typical open play is Sunday 10am-6pm and Friday-Saturday 10am-7pm. Memberships are also available. The gym includes suspended equipment with various types of swings, crash mats and pillows, a zip slider, a trampoline, a small Mario-themed climbing wall, monkey bars, a climbing mountain, a rope bridge, a hammock swing, and a rolling bar slide. Outside of the equipment, there are imagination stations-a vet, a doctor, construction, a kitchen, and a Target store playset. Also a train set and an exercise bike. Lots of various balls scattered about and a separate area for infants and toddlers with lots of toys and a small slide. There is also a separate arts and crafts area and a book nook. In a separate room-the teen room-is a basketball game and air hockey plus lots of puzzles and games and additional sensory squares. Many indoor playgrounds become overwhelming for one of my kiddos and a unique feature here is a calming room with soft lights, weighted blankets, and large pillow chairs. The staff was so kind and helpful too. They were cleaning regularly and offered treats to the kids when they were upset our two hours were up. I wish there was a closer location but this is an amazing resource and we will visit again soon (as in tomorrow)!

Our pre-school teacher has been with the school over 26 years - we love her. As a matter of fact the teacher who has been here the shortest amount of time is 6+ years. Low turn over speaks volumes for the children's environment/programs. The school is located on 4 acres backing to a park. They have an awesome playground. The curriculum is literature based. They offer: pre-school, pre-K, full day kindergarten, afterschool care, mommy & me classes, & summer camp. If you are looking for a school, make an appointment. You won't be disappointed!

We absolutely love Winwood... After a terrible experience with our old daycare center through…read moreCovid, we decided to reach out to Winwood. I am so glad and only wish that we had all the kids there from the start. You can tell that they truly care about the kids and the family and not just the money .

In addition to the good value with all the nice perks included with tuition, the teachers here are good at connecting with their students and prioritizing learning in the classrooms. They also genuinely care about the families they support, going to extra mile to connect with you and your child. Another area I felt was important to note that I liked about this daycare versus some others in the area that it feels more representative of our community as it is closer to home and has both local feel while also celebrates our diversity. I am confident we made the right choice to send our kids to Kindercare at Sterling Park.

The type of environment you select for your little ones, is one of the most important decisions to…read morebe made! At KRK, they treat every little one like their own. From the time you step in the (secure) door, until the time you come to retrieve your child, you can trust that they are in great hands. KRK offers live video feed for you to check-in at any time during normal operating hours, as a perk. The teachers/staff here are highly rated. The amount of care, enrichment, and level of details offered can't be beat!! I have witnessed the amount of attention paid to kids from the infant room and above. To see them have a conversation with an infant using sign language was a true highlight. One of the things I love most is that they have several ways to be a part of their growing family, even if you are not currently a daily visitor. They offer after-school and summer camps, before school care, and monthly parents-night-out (PNO) activities. The PNO's are amazing! KRK is like the coolest party in town on these nights. The kids are welcomed and loaded with tons of fun and learning activities. From movies to bounce houses, the kids LOVE it all. Dinner is included with the PNO fee and they typically offer about five (5) hours of care. If that isn't enough, Kids R Kids have the cutest little boo-boo room should your little one fall ill, etc. It's a temporary spot that's set up to care for a sick child. Private bed, initial medical equip (bandages, etc.), and trained staff. This is still a child-care facility, so if you think 'things' will not happen, you are wrong. Kids are kids. They push, they bite, they bicker, they scream, and they kick. The difference is having staff and leadership who will act promptly and appropriately when these things happen. I can attest to being able to address issues to staff and teachers directly. One must be understanding that although their ratios of students:teachers suffice, eyes can not be everywhere at every minute. If you see something, say something. KRK staff offers a REAL open door policy. Talk to them at any time...even if you are just a 'visiting' family. If you are looking for child-care, camps, before/after school care, date night supervision, or private kindergarten, KRK is what you want! Take some time to pay them a visit or call for more information. The staff would love to help answer any questions.

Even though the teachers were amazing towards my son, the culture of any business starts from…read moreleadership down. Leadership seems to be trying to scam parents to recover losses due to their business risk of staying open during COVID-19 after LCPS had closed. Ultimately the facility was closed for two weeks in March 2020 due to an exposure to COVID-19. I have been in contact with the executive director, Debbie Davis on trying to receive a refund for an overpayment I made back in April. I received two different reasons as why a refund would not be issued; both of which did not make any sense. Reason #1: "We are not able to issue refunds for April as our company has suffered a great loss in enrollment. We can howerver, offer you a credit should you choose to use it. The credit is good for an entire year. " Reason #2: "Item 5 says NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN." I asked for further clarification on this statement and Debbie has stopped all communication. Item 5 clearly states the scenarios on when refunds will not be issued. However, she somehow twisted the clause into no refunds will be given under any circumstances.
