Buckley Downs Children's Place, Silver Spring

My daughter has been going to this daycare for 1 year now. The owner is a highly skilled, compassionate, and joyful person. The daycare itself is well equipped and clean. the children have seasonal activities and the daycare prioritizes outside play time with lots of outdoor play equipment and toys. We have had a great experience here and intend to use it as long as we can. This daycare is the best one we have used!

The daycare owner and her entire team are wonderful. We've had several different daycare providers, and she is the best. I wish we would've started with her sooner. Our daughter Holly has a speech delay and was diagnosed with autism, and she has shown such great improvement while in her care. She is warm, affectionate, and an excellent teacher of small children!!! Also, specialized therapy providers are able to provide services to Holly while at this daycare. She lets us know how the therapy is going and any concerns she has with the therapy. She is our eyes and ears over Holly during the day, and we are so grateful for how she has advocated for Holly, speaking up and ensuring that Holly is provided with the best possible therapy services. (My wife and I can't be present for these daytime autism therapy sessions, and her independent oversight of things has been fantastic and gives us real peace of mind.) It's very clear that she cares deeply about Holly and all of the kids in her care. Holly is always happy to arrive at this daycare in the morning, and she is always smiling and playing with the other kids when we pick her up in the afternoon. My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about her, and I'd be happy to answer any questions or speak more about her great daycare.

She is an amazing childcare professional. she is very supportive with my son’s care. I feel very safe and comfortable about the environment.

I am going to miss her, but not as much as my son will! I am so sad to leave her loving and wonderful Daycare Center because we are moving out of the state. She truly cares for all of her children she cares for and does a fantastic job helping the little ones grow up! She helped my almost 2 YO learn how to walk, talk, learn his colors, shapes, numbers, letters, how to share, and much more! You will be so missed!

My infant son has been going here for 2 months and I can’t say enough nice things. The caregiver is amazing - she loves the kids in her care and is great at communicating with parents. My son is thriving and hitting major development milestones with their help through play, tummy time, outdoor time, interaction with others, etc.

The owner is providing a wonderful environment for kids. She is always smiley and sweet and takes them to play outside a lot. Our daughter is always happy when she comes back from daycare and tells us all the nice games she played. I would definitely recommend this childcare to any family looking for a daycare in the area!
