I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I have 2 children in this facility, they have bith been going there Monday to Friday for over 2 years now and we could not be any happier. We started taking our son there when he was 10 months old, today he is potty trained, he eats on the table by himself, knows his abcs, numbers, colors and shapes. He is right now at the kindergarten level at 3 years old. Our 5year and 5 months old was transferred from another daycare. At the former daycare she use to cry when I drop her off, it took less than 1 week for her to feel at home @ABC. She looks forward to weekdays, she even wished her teachers from ABC could go with her to her "Big school". She is able to write her name, knows all she is suppose to know at kindergarten level. Everyone at ABC is very loving and welcoming. My husband and I are glad we made the decision to take them to ABC. We have referred many parents to ABC.

We were nervous about putting our 1 year old in a daycare but as soon as we arrived we were welcomed with opened arms and happy faces. After learning about the curriculum and lesson plans we knew we would enroll our son. It has been over a year and they have helped him tremendously through the early learning process.

My son has been going to this facility for quite some time. And has been in two different age group classes. We have never had any problems with this facility. Teachers and staffs are kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. My son loves the school and his teachers. He is always excited to go to school. I would recommend this facility to anyone I know.

ABC Learning Center is a wonderful facility that truly cares about the children and families. I have 2 girls and have used their service for both of them. My girls have always been loved, and at times spoiled (a little) by the amazing staff. The educational program is enriching to the girls, they teach behavior through nurture, and the meals are well balanced ABC Learning Center has been a great service to my family. I truly appreciate all the staff's hard work and dedication and would highly recommend them if you are looking for a loving and safe environment for your children.

I have had my son in ABC Learning Center for quite some time. I have not had any complaints at all. It's a wonderful facility. My son is always excited to go to daycare and loves all of the teacher there. They are caring and work with him to reach new milestones. I feel safe leaving him in their care.

After reading the negative reviews above all I can say is something doesn't seem right. There are always plenty of staff members and I have never seen any strange people around the facility that shouldn't be there.

I would recommend this facility to anyone I know.

I love the staff at ABC Learning Center - Silver Spring. They treat my infant very well and provide a clean and safe environment for her. She loves her teachers. She gets a big smile and giggles when they greet her each morning. They also accomadated some special feeding needs she had when she was younger.
