I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our daughter was at Circle Time for about 15 months. We only switched to a different place due to changing logistics with our older child. Everyone there is very friendly. They greet the children excitedly and by name in the morning, mix in fun activities like a day of water play in the summer, fun art projects, and there’s a nice playground on site for the kids. They group the kids roughly by age and developmental progress so that’s also good especially for the younger ones (ours was 1 when she started there). They also offer meals, but since we are vegan we chose to send our own. However they have been very accommodating and even adapting some recipes to “veganize” them so she could also enjoy. Definitely worth considering Circle Time!

About the Provider

Advertisement

For over 55 years, Circle Time Child Care Inc. has prepared children for success. Our goal is to provide exceptional child care while preparing children for kindergarten. Circle Time believes that a child's infant and toddler years are a period of significant cognitive, emotional, and social development, a time where exploration, socialization, communication, and play are a critical center-point in a child's life. For that reason, we strive to implement curriculums that will individually enhance a child's natural ability to learn and create. Proudly, 70% of our children graduate with almost first-grade reading levels, while the remaining 30% of graduates achieve kindergarten level reading skills. On occasion, some students graduate reading at a second-grade level. These statistics are a solid testament to the hard work and dedication we put towards our children and the impacts Circle Time has on the future of our community through education. We are a beloved institution dedicated to the growth and success of our children as we endeavor to assist them in reaching their full potential. 

Additional Information:

Circle Time Child Care Inc. also has an in home family day care located in Silver Spring, MD and an Infant & Toddler Center in Wheaton, Md. Please call 301-933-4811 to inquire about all locations. Thank you!
