Northwood Kiddie Cove, Silver Spring

The caregiver is excellent! She loves and cares for my 4 year old son like he's her own. My son loves it there, and can't wait to go back every day! He comes home every day with new things he's learned, including ASL signs, and his confidence has just grown so much. The caregiver's home is so warm and inviting, we just can't say enough great things about this place:)

We feel so fortunate to have found this daycare. She is a caring and capable teacher who partners with caretakers to ensure everyone is working together in a child's development. Our son is always excited to go to school, and is in a great mood when we pick him up (though sometimes tired from all the fun he has!) We have recommended this daycare to several people and plan to continue doing so!

The caregiver had the biggest impact on my daughter’s development in her time at her facility. It was where my daughter started to talk, feed herself, start reading, and have immensely increased her socialization skills with her age group. All of this was possible by her dedication in creating a fun and learning environment for the kids. The school itself was a great place to be in and my child as well as a number of her cousins were attending there until they started kindergarten. My family always refer anyone to her facility and all reports have been positive and shows she goes above and beyond as a care giver and teacher for the little ones.

Overall, we have been having a great experience at this daycare. There are many wonderful things about this family daycare, such as the affordability, closeness of the families who go there and exposure to different cultures for kids. However, most importantly, we appreciate her, as the caregiver. She is not only a great and inspiring role model for the kids, but she also loves those kids dearly. And the love she gives is not just in verbal forms, she set clear rules for kids to follow and also correct their behaviors as a mom sort of figure. In addition, she does lots of extra things for the kids, such as making authentic Ethiopian food for them, making braids for my little girl and even share her amazing homemade food with us. Every year, she holds parent night where we connect with other families, chat and taste her making cooking’s. At winter holiday season, she hand packed gift bags for each kiddo. One year, she even crocheted hats for each kid. To conclude, if you are looking for a safe, loving, diverse and fun place for your little one, I would totally recommend this place!

She is warm and loving toward my 3 year old son. She provides safety, structure and has a great curriculum. She always has fun activities for them to do throughout the day. My son has been with her since he was 1 year old. He is a happy kid who enjoys going to daycare in the morning to play with friends.
