About

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. Circle Time Child Care is a year-round center in Kensington, MD. We are open from 7:00am until 5:30pm and care for children as young as 6 weeks through 5 years old. We offer preschool and full time child care. We have a meal program and offer a peanut and tree-nut free environment. Circle Time Child Care is a Spanish immersion program.

Circle Time is wonderful. My daughter was with them from when she was 3 months until she finished Pre-school. They provide excellent care and help children progress in their skills so well. I will miss the teachers there too, as they're all wonderful.

Our one year old is currently enrolled at the family child care location through Circle Time and Miss Maria and Miss Sophia are her caretakers. They are both wonderful and I am so reassured leaving my daughter in their care because I know she is happy and well taken care of. Recently, she has started flapping her arms with excitement when we walk up to the center. Everyone is incredibly communicative and we are grateful to have found this... more

Circle Time is great. Our toddler was there for about 15 months. We have known many families in our neighborhood who all had positive experiences sending their kids there over the years. The staff is friendly, loving, and always demonstrates a commitment to doing what’s best for kids as they grow and move up through the age/developmentally progressive rooms. We can’t recommend them more highly!

My twin daughters have been at Circle Time for two years, since they were infants. We are relocating and leaving Circle Time is by far the hardest part of the move. I cannot say enough about what a magical place it has been for our family. My girls were born very prematurely and had significant delays. The staff at Circle Time worked with them as individuals, never pushing but encouraging them appropriately to progress towards milestones. The... more

Circle Time has been an AMAZING place for my two kids. We have been at both the Wheaton/Dawson Ave and the Kensington/ Farragut Ave location. The Kensington facilities are more extensive, but the teachers at both are loving and nurturing. Gigi, the owner and Karina, the director, are super responsive and open. Staff turnover is low. Everyone genuinely loves their work and the kids, and it SHOWS. My kids loved being there and learned a ton while... more

Review for Circle Time in Wheaton; we have had our daughter in the program for over a month now and have nothing but great things to say about Circle Time. Gigi and the staff are amazing. our daughter loves her time there, and the staff have helped my wife and I become well rounded first time parents with a few tips and tricks through their years of experience. You won't be disappointed.

We are so lucky to have found Circle Time. Our son has been going here for a year, since he was 3 months old. He is thriving here and is well looked after by his wonderful teachers. Circle Time feels like a family. There seems to be very little turnover among the teachers and they always warmly greet you when you arrive. Circle Time also offers weekend care upon request, which is great! It gives me peace of mind knowing my son is so well taken... more
