NASTIEST DAYCARE IVE EVER SEEN ! I would not recommend this daycare to other parents. The staff are unprofessional and unorganized, and communication was very poor. I often felt that my child’s needs were not being met, and updates about their day were either rushed or not given at all. The facility did not appear very clean or well-maintained, which made me feel uneasy. My daughter caught hands foot and mouth disease within 2-3 months apart from this facility Overall, I expected a safe, nurturing environment, but unfortunately, this daycare fell far short of that. DO NOT SEND YOU’RE CHILD HERE !

Unprofessional and uneducated staff. Daycare is ran like a school which seems “ok” in the beginning until the policies start affecting parents who actually do something with their time. They cater to kids with developmental issues so it seems like a good center though that’s not the determining factor. They don’t have a diverse set of students and are definitely using dc government money to the fullest extent!

The center is nice and is making renovations and improvements. Staff members are being held to the highest regard at this time to achieve smart goals for the children. If this school had Scabies as someone has commented, DC health department would shutdown immediate. I am a parent, and suggest that you pop in with inquiry to see the center at work on your own.

Amazing services, compassionate teachers, solid principles and formats. Consistency was excellent as was the concern for the children. The programs were excellent and the funding was good. I was very pleased. It was safe, clean, food was good and my daughter and I adored her teachers and caregivers. Loved it!

I recently had both children there and Ms. Courtney in room 318 cannot teach because she does not know how to work with her kids as her class size is too big and she lacks patience. She does not have the ability to work with kids that she deems to have behavior issues and will gather up in my case false documentation to act as if she did her job to work with the family to address those needs. She hides behind the new director for support and is unprofessional. Working at the agency is the only place that will allow her to teach because she has no skills and she along with other staff is just a babysitter. Don't allow any of your kids to attend this school as I am now working with an educational lawyer. The biased and vendictive staff that have at this point scheduled surprised meeting to pretty much gather evidence to just kick my son out that is not justifiable. They do what they need to do to cover their tracks.
