Dear KinderCare, My son was at Woodridge Station Edgewood KinderCare in MD for 2 years. We had such an amazing experience there. The staff were wonderful to my son. He started going there when he was 3. We were hestate to have him start because he has autism and we weren't sure if the center would be able to meet his needs. Boy, were we wrong! Our song grew so attached to the staff there. They were so patient and kind with him and us. At some point he wasn't sleeping at night because he was napping during the day. We asked KinderCare to stop his naps so that he would sleep at night, and they made that adjustment. After speaking to friends with children in other centers, we found out that this request is not always granted. We appreciated everything the staff did fo us to accomodate our needs. We also heard that day care centers have a lot of staff turnover, and that was a concern to us. The KinderCare that we attended had an extremely stable staff. My son loved all of them and still asks for them. The only reason we stopped going to KinderCare is because we moved. They gave us such a nice send-off. Ms. Regina made us a scrapbook of his time there. this was great becase it included pictures of him getting onto and off of the bus, which we never to to see in person. It also showed a tupical day for him at KinderCare. Ms. Alexus made us a poster with pictures of him through the years and included quotes of silly things that he would say. Ms. Zhana bought him gifts, including things that are his favorites, like apple juice. We really could not have asked for a better center. We love and miss everyone there. They all went above and beyond to ensure that my son and our family had a great experience. They should be commended for their dedication to the families which they serve.

Every teacher my daughter has had at the center has been amazing. They are truly dedicated to my daughters well-being and care. i have always felt completely safe and comfortable leaving my daughter in their care. She has been there since she was three and she is about to turn seven. She was at the center when Maryland had an earthquake and I was totally secure in here well-being the entire time. During Prekindergarten, I worried that they were pushing her too hard on school work and development until I got her Kindergarten teacher's report that said how well she was doing due to all her work and preparation the year before. Now that she is school-age, during the summer, they have non-stop activities and field trips. We have planned our vacations to ensure she didn't miss any of the field trips. My daughter looks forward to her time there and her interaction with the teachers and the extra programs they offer. I could not be happier that she is at KinderCare and I sing the center's praises whenever I can.

This letter is to formally state the exemplary service my husband and I have received for my daughter, Johannah. She has been attending KinderCare since she was three years old beginning with Ms. Towanda, Regina (phenomenal teacher), and Ms. Crystal and now she is the capable hands of the dynamic duo of Ms. Allysa and Ms. Tennille. I cannot say enough about the level of care that the staff provides my daughter especially Ms. Allysa and Ms. Termille. The annual talent shows twice a year foster my daughter's hidden talents. One of my favorite projects was the spaghetti dinner night in which my daughter and the rest of the School Age kids were host/hostesses or waiters/waitress and served spaghetti dinner and raised $350 to go to Alex’s Lemonade Stand charity. I was raised with an after school program and my husband I agreed that Ms. Alyssa and Ms. Tennille are teaching the core values that we believe in and are better than a Boys and Girls Club or YMCA. You are helping to develop future dancers, scientists, activists, educators and presidents. One thing I can say is the key component to the success to your teachers at the Edgewood location, versus when my daughter was at Celebree, was consistency. She had the same teachers and could count and trust that those teachers were going to be there. All of her teachers are truly dedicated to children and love children and now that Johannah is in school I see it in her love for learning. Thank you so much! It is the quality not the quantity that means the most to my husband and I. Thank you for keeping my daughter smiling.
