I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Kiddies is a great early childhood development center. My daughter is now 3 and have been attending kiddies kollege since the age of 1. My experience with them has been an amazing one for the last 3 years. It’s actually going to be a sad one when my baby girl starts school in the fall but we will truly mis all staff members when we go. I would recommend anyone to kiddies kollege on Varney Rd Washington DC. They are very active with each and every child and very attentive from the time the children walks in the door and out. Thanks in advance for everything and allowing my baby girl be apart of the kiddies kollege family on Varney Rd.

I wish there was an option for 0 stars.
This place is one big circus and the act needs to just stop. Conditions are unsanitary, roaches all over the kitchen, bedbugs in the classrooms, a blatant and continuous lack of appropriate staffing. Very rude upper management who is mean to the children, parents and from what I see and hear, the staff as well. Honestly her basic interactions are naturally disrespectful without any regard for others. I believe she may be suffering from some sort of social awkwardness disorder. honestly just very malicious for no apparent reason. Just throw the whole business away. This place needs to be seized by the government.

If you are looking for a school where the staff is not certified and new every week and your child gets hurts weekly without great explanation and incident reports are sent home every week, and office staff is rude and disrespectful this is the school and center for you. I have used this facility for all my children and I promise before my last child which is 2 leaves this school needs to be shut down and rebuilt starting with staffing and premises. I am so disappointed and will not send my worst enemy child to this facility for an hour.
