The Academy Of Maryland Farms

We attended this daycare for about five months with our child. We genuinely enjoyed getting to know his teachers, and our child was generally happy at drop-off and especially enjoyed playing outdoors. Unfortunately, our overall experience was overshadowed by a serious ongoing issue with biting. Our son, who was around one year old at the time, was bitten repeatedly, approximately 10 times over the course of our enrollment. Each time, we were notified through the parent portal and asked to sign an incident form at pickup, but there was little to no follow-up beyond that. When my husband and I raised concerns separately with upper management, the response was consistently along the lines of “kids will be kids” and “there’s not a lot you can do at this age.” When I asked about their biting policy, I was told that a child would only be sent home after biting three times in one day. After the first few incidents, the director mentioned possibly reading a “no biting” book and looking into moving children around, but we never received any further communication about whether those steps were actually taken. As the biting continued, we were never given reassurance that the other child’s parents were being actively engaged or that a plan was in place to reduce the behavior. I also requested a meeting with the assistant director to express my concerns and disappointment with how the situation was handled. I ultimately felt that either closer supervision or more proactive intervention was lacking, as the incidents continued without meaningful change. I wish I had known ahead of time how limited the response would be to a repeated safety issue. For this reason, I would not recommend this daycare to other parents, particularly those with younger children who cannot advocate for themselves.

The staff is great here. My daughter has been enrolled since she was 4 months old since we don't have family in the area. The staff helped get her through milestones and move her to the next class as she progresses. I love that the facility makes it a point for every staff member to remember each child's name. It really helped her to learn her name. There's an app that tells what time she's napped, eaten, had diaper changes, and daily photos. They provide breakfast in the morning to socialize and meet other folks. My baby always comes home happy!

My Grandchild was repeatedly bitten at the school. One bite was so severe it broke the skin and required antibiotics. Dr. report stated Human assault. Despite many complain to the Director. The school did nothing to stop the continued, harassment and assault going on in the school. The State of Tennessee is currently investigating this school. The Director called me this morning and said, we have disenrolled -the victim- my grandson instead of protecting him from the bully. Safety is not a priority here. If you are considering enrolling your child, think twice...........................................................................................................

I am so grateful for AOMF, my daughter has so many amazing teachers who have loved on her so well and she is only a year and a half! Each teacher has been so kind and supportive, I truly feel like I have a tribe helping me raise my daughter. In addition to this, my daughter is enrolled in therapy services, and the directors have been very flexible in working with staff to accommodate these services. My child's developmental therapist was amazed at the staff and support at AOMF when she last visited. She specifically highlighted the staff's kindness, collaboration and care for my daughter. In addition to this, my family has witnessed the kindness, warmth and support firsthand.

The Academy of Maryland Farms has been an amazing experience for us and I highly recommend! Teka and Heather are excellent directors, and our daughter’s primary daycare teachers (Melissa, Marquelette, Sabrina, Alexis) have been wonderful- they have all been highly communicative, kind, and caring. This place will forever hold a special place in our hearts- if you are considering infant care options, I highly recommend Academy of Maryland Farms.
