Kiddie Academy of Annapolis

We love Kiddie Academy of Annapolis and feel grateful every day that we have their support during the work week. After touring many area daycare centers for our infant son, we chose KAA because they were the only center that gave us the feeling that they're all here for the right reasons and genuinely care about families and children. From the owners to the directors, teachers and aides, they are all warm, compassionate, engaged, patient and kind. As our son grows and moves up classrooms, we remain happy and rest assured that he is getting great, personalized care. Bonus that I can watch on webcams any time I'm missing my son and want to just check in, and they send multiple photos throughout the day showing all the fun activities they're doing. We're very happy to be at KAA and will be sending our second son here too. Daycare can be a stressful choice and experience for many families, and we are so lucky we've had the opposite experience at KAA.

Dana, Dave and their staff are always wonderful. We definitely have a peace of mind knowing our kids are in a safe environment, that is so focused on having our children grow. The front desk staff and all the teachers are always warm and welcoming. My husband and I are business owners that have to put in alot of hours and knowing they are in the best hands makes it easier to be working parents. We love bringing our babies here!

Since Day 1 our daughter loves her school. I say love because during the weekends she wants to go to kiddie academy.
All the teachers are wonderful, engaged and have a positive attitude.
Access to cameras is a plus.
Kiddie academy provides morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack which is very convenient.
This is an excellent school. We drive from bowie to annapolis to D.C. and it is well worth our drive. My wife had a good feeling about this school and she was not wrong.

Our son has been at Kiddie Academy since they opened last Spring and I can't say enough great things. He has allergies and came to KA with some delays in walking and speech. His teachers are truly invested in his progress and push him to grow and try new things. We've seen so much progress over the last few months especially. I also feel confident they understand his dietary restrictions and keep him safe. All the staff from the owners, front desk, and teachers have been great to work with. Every morning he is excited to go to school and so happy to see his teacher! The facility is clean, safe and the web cams provide an extra layer of comfort and transparency, especially in those first few weeks when it's so hard to leave your babies in someone else's care. Thank you KA for helping our boy learn and grow every day!

We absolutely love Kiddie Academy of Annapolis. Our son loves it as well, and can't wait to go in each morning. The teachers and staff are attentive, caring, friendly, and genuinely care about all of the children. They do awesome art projects, activities, and even bring in special treats like an entire pumpkin patch! We can't say enough good things about KA of Annapolis. Special thanks to Dana, Julie, Ms. Precious, Ms. Kayla, Ms. Mykera, and Ms. Ebone!

School of Rock

Hayley the Keys instructor was great. We did our free trial with her and my 9 year old daughter had a great experience. So we signed up for the program.
At 9 she was placed in Rock 101. The kids were mostly younger than her, and it usually felt like glorified babysitting vs becoming a better musician.

Huge communication disconnect re:homework/expectations  between the private lesson, Rock 101 and the School of Rock app causing tears that could be avoided and much frustration for parents!

We also tried one of the summer camps, signed up both kids. The fees included “Recording: campers will record their songs with camp directors so that they can share with family and friends!”.
This was not so! I emailed to follow up to receive this keepsake of their song writing, and the school did not have a file to share.

We have encouraged our 3 boys to try every activity under the sun, from horseback riding to sports to martial arts, in hopes that they’d find something they were super excited about. Two out of three of our boys found their PASSIONS  with the School of Rock performance program. (third son enjoys SOR too, but music isn’t his major, MAJOR love.) They have done 1:1 lessons at other music schools with all different instruments and with really amazing teachers, but there is something about the format of SOR, with the opportunities to actually perform songs with a band, that makes it magic. My boys practice on their own and look forward to every lesson and every band rehearsal. Of course, SOR is also well-run and the teachers are incredible, but the kids’ joy is really the best indication of a top-notch experience. I have to say, we were very hesitant about spending the money because regular individual music lessons are less expensive, but I’m having a hard time putting a price on a true lifelong passion, skill, mood-elevator, confidence-booster, means for social-engagement, etc.

Our son has had a great experience with the staff and students at School of Rock Annapolis over the last two years. He's grown both as a musician and as a performer and is challenged in so many positive ways to stretch and get out of his comfort zone. Starting with Rock 101 and moving into the performance program has been so much fun and exposed him (and us) to some incredible music and truly talented kids! Thank you SOR Annapolis!

As a parent of four musically inclined children, I can say without a doubt that the School of Rock experience is fantastic! We have lived all over the world and we have yet to find another program that challenges its students through not only music, but performances. It builds a camaraderie amongst the students that emphasizes the creation of music as a holistic product instead of a the sum of parts you get through traditional lessons. The team building, as well as the quality of the teachers, is a combo that can’t be beat. Highly recommended!

The staff at the Annapolis School of Rock is amazing. They are talented, thoughtful and creative. And most importantly, they take a real interest in the development of each student. I could not recommend the program more.

Kiddie Academy of Arnold

The teachers are absolutely wonderful. During the past 2 years we’ve been with them, we’ve had 0% turnover in our classrooms. Ms. Sheree took care of our son when he was an infant and now she takes care of our daughter, so we’ve really been able to form a really close relationship with them. Stephanie, Janai, Rachel, April, and Dasani have all been a huge blessing to our family, they truly care for the well being of everyone.

Terrible management that does not invest in the center or the staff.  They are understaffed and the staff that is there is underpaid.  This center has multiple violations and is not worth the rates they are charging.  I recommend sending your children to a different daycare as this center is poorly run.

British Swim School of Brethren Village Retirement Community

The British Swim School has been fantastic for our daughter, she absolutely loves her classes there. She really liked her classes with Ronnie. The school itself is also very accommodating, they made sure she still got to swim a full class even when we were late due to my husband's work. Highly recommend for young children!

These are amazing swim/water survival lessons. I’m amazed at how quickly our daughters are learning new skills. Zoey is the BEST instructor followed by Luke; they are both phenomenal with the kids.

Fantastic swim school for kids. Started my munchkin at 3 months and at 6 months is loving her time in the water and isn’t scared and is learning and advancing. They move at the pace of each child and are fantastic.

My son is learning to feel confident in the pool. His instructors are AMAZING and have a way to make him understand how to do each different technique.  We love it here!

I love this school. I tried one before and it was a joke. The instructors are great. They're nice and professional along with everyone else. They are attentive and the lessons truly make a difference. I only wish there was more for infants instead of acclimation but I'm super happy with them and will be back in the fall.

Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air

Our child is in good hands here and that is truly peace of mind for our family.. Very welcoming staff! Everyone works together and always seems to be in great spirits. The center is huge and CLEAN and is set up like a school where you walk in the hallway to get to your child's classroom. Great communication system. Love the app that provides a very thorough shift report and open communication of my child's day! Highly recommend this center!!!

I love the curriculum! I love the character essentials, which is unique to Kiddie and not found at most daycares. They are fully accredited and even seeking national accreditation, which is huge. The gross motor skills, fine motor skills, feelings, and communication are all rock solid. I love the people - everyone is so caring and loving on my baby boy. My only complaint is that I would like to see healthier food. Cereal for breakfast is the WORST thing anyone can put in their body as it's already predigested nutrients and wrecks a kids's blood sugar, which can lead to diabetes, obesity and other metabolic issues throughout their lifetime. Less processed food overall - it's okay to do graham crackers for a snack, but white bread should never be involved as that's the same as handing a child a bowl full of sugar cubes. I have gotten both of my kids to love veggies , fruits, and healthy carbs by preparing them well. The app is Tadpoles, and that could be more developed for 2 way communication, but it works. I love that my son is learning Spanish. He's only 22 months and has been going here for 4 months, and he knows about 20 Spanish words and phrases, such as "lavarse los manos!"  The owners are so involved and incredibly warm and welcoming. They treat the kids as an extension of their own family. Overall, this is a great facility, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

The staff is topnotch. They are friendly, courteous, and have really gone out of their way to make my child feel welcomed. They have parent/teacher conferences. They use an app to provide daily reports of activities and meals along with pictures of my child. The facility is clean and well-organized. My child enjoys school days.

I was impressed with the location of this kiddie academy I met with assistance director Ashley she took on the tour of facilities I was impressed with how clean this kiddie academy was there was clear space of walkways and staff were on point with the caring of infants as well as toddlers.  Overall a wonderful place to enroll your children in this kiddie academy it within walking distance to a McDonald's as well as a waffle house.   I was impressed by assistance director Ashley  as well it was very accommodating to those with special needs as well too

We LOVE Kiddie Academy of North Bel Air, My son has been going there for over a year now, since he was 3 months old. All of the teachers are amazing and very hands on with the infants/toddlers/students. The owners and director are great to work with, everyone is very involved. They are extremely accommodating and you are always greeted with a smile. I love that i can check in at any moment throughout my day with the security cameras in every classroom (that is what basically sold me when making my decision), along with the daily reports & pictures. We have had an amazing experience and look forward to building an even stronger relationship with all.

British Swim School at The Aquatic Center at Willow Valley

Kiddie Academy of Abingdon

I love the fact that I have visual abilities to check on my child anytime of the day and know that she is safe and to see what she is doing throughout the day. I love that the teachers are so compassionate and attentive to my child. I love that the educational environment is warm, friendly and welcoming.

My children’s teachers are friendly and accommodating. Convenient hours for my childcare needs. Educational curriculum that keeps my three year old engaged and learning!

Kiddie Academy is a wonderful daycare for children. The teachers are amazing and so are the activities that they do every day. I feel like my child is learning all the time and becoming social with other children as well. I love the structure of it as well as the daily routines. I also love that I receive a daily report with pictures at the end of every day so I can keep in touch with my child learning!

As a parent and employee of Kiddie Academy, I have extremely high expectations of the care provided to my 4 yo and 1 yo each day.  There are many great things about the academy but we are most impressed with the security, healthy food and above all else the teachers. Many times when I pick up my children they don't want to leave which just shows how much they enjoy their time at Kiddie Academy. Also, we can see noticeable language advancements in my 4 year old in the six months she's been there. I know without a doubt she will be fully prepared for Kindergarten next year. The only recommendation I have is for Kiddie Academy to provide more opportunities for me to discuss my childrens' progress with the teachers and what we can do to help our children advance. Other than that, keep up the good work!!!

Poor oversight from the corporate office. Director unprofessional and generally unavailable.  Assistant director clearly overwhelmed with academy responsibilities. Lead teachers and assistants immature and poorly trained when handling difficult children. My child was injured and staff failed to contact me for 2 hours in hopes my child's injuries would get better. After 2 hours we were contacted and advised to pick up our child and take her for an xray.  Director never addressed me to apologize for her injuries nor inquired how my child was after seeking medical attention. If you need to contact the academy, it takes several attempts to reach staff. Lots of bells and whistles, very little safe and professional care. We left the academy June 2018 after 10 months and would not recommend. **Several of the positive reviews regarding this place are from employees of the corporate office- any business that forces its employees to post positive reviews to boost enrollment should be a MAJOR red flag.**

Kiddie Academy Corporate

I am not sure why Kiddie Academy even has a corporate office. We are a military family and I brought not only safety issues to their attention, but that fact that one of their centers stole $554 dollars from us. Their response was that they couldn’t do anything. Kiddie Academy in Stafford has infants sleeping face down in boppies, and there is no structured curriculum. Don’t bother calling the corporate office if you need help because they say “they can’t help you”. Do not send you children to Kiddie Academy.

British Swim School at Harford Community College

My grandson has been attending swim classes since March of this year. He has mad nice progress. The instructors are so nice & I love how they sing to the children to relax them. The instructor Megan has made great progress with Marik, he is building his skills & confidence.

Great swim school, with small classes and great instructors!  Our son has learned many skills and we feel he is safe in the water now.

My daughter has attended British Swim School at HCC since June 2022 and she loves it! Her progress and confidence in the water is amazing. She started out afraid to get in the pool and can now jump in, float, and swim using different strokes. The instructors are patient, motivating, and wonderful. They make the class fun and allow the kids to feel comfortable and safe at their own pace. Kathryn, the owner, is incredibly helpful, kind and encouraging. We love the program and I am so thankful for everyone who has helped my girl along the way! 🩷

Our son has been going to swim class since February 2023. It's been fun to watch his swimming skills improve along with his comfort with the water. The instructors are friendly and they do a good job of wrangling the toddlers in when they get distracted.

My grandson, Jerry, didn't get but one lesson in while visiting me last month. He will be back this summer, and we are looking forward to rejoining the class and Jerry swimming like a fish in no time.
