Bel Pre Playhouse, Silver Spring

We have a total of three children ranging from teenager to toddler. Finding a place that is reputable, caring, and safe is not new to us. The first thing we noticed different (and reassuring TBH) was the communication. The owner and all the teachers utilize an app to communicate with us. They tell/show us what they are doing, eating, and if she had any outside throughout the day. It almost feels like we are there enjoying the day with them. In the pictures/videos you can see safety is a priority for them. We feel happy and secure bringing our daughter here.

This is the only daycare I feel comfortable sending my infant daughter. she is blossoming because of the planned curriculum, attentive providers/teachers, and daycare friends! The caregiver is extremely knowledgeable about programs that are available to kids in MD and has helped with early recognition of some services that might be needed. We love this daycare and can’t wait to see how much more our daughter will flourish!

We had a wonderful experience sending our 3 month old to this daycare. She has a very nice set up for the kids. She is extremely nice, accommodating, and seems to truly love the children. While we went to her daycare knowing it was temporary (waiting for spot to open at our 3 year old's daycare), we are very sad to be leaving. The care that our baby received was second to none. She gave her lots of attention, including tummy time, stretching, and outside walks, among others. She also sends several updates and pictures throughout the day, which us parents always appreciate! We also loved how the older kids were encouraged to interact with our baby (and the other baby there), which led to some of our favorite cute video updates. We would send our kids back there, or recommend her to any of our family or friends, without hesitation. We will absolutely miss having our baby there.

I enjoy the joy that this provider and staff bring to Raine’s day to day. She has blossom to a very communicative and and even more expressive child because of it.

We love the progress we have seen since our child has started. The environment is warm, nurturing and with a diverse set of families. Our child is always happy and the teachers stay engaged with the parents and the students. wonderful place overall.

This provider is a breath of fresh air. She is so organized, professional, and poised. I know my children are getting the best care possible. My older son came from another daycare and quickly felt right at home in her care. He tells us she’s his best friend. We know he’s getting the specialized, focused, attention that he needs.

This provider has taking care of my 2 sons on multiple occasions. Having them with her gives me a sense of peace. Not only do they have an amazing time with her, but she teaches them new skills and provides great food options. One of my kids is a picky eater and we sometimes struggle yo get him to eat. But this provider is good at encouraging him and getting excited to try new foods.

This family childcare is simply excellent. When I came for my walkthrough, I was immediately impressed with how CLEAN, organized and child-proofed the facilities were. I knew instantly that my children would be safe at this place. I also appreciate this provider's commitment to early-childhood development, which shows in the types of activities and programming the kids engage in. My daughter spoke very few words when she started at this place; now her vocabulary has expanded considerably, and she is more confident and outgoing.
