I highly recommend this school for all the good reasons. They delivered as promised! Our son went from being nervous about attending school to loving school - thanks to the amazing learning environment that Quality Time Learning Center (QTLC) creates for children. The school came highly recommended by parents whose kids (most who are now teenagers) attended QTLC. The word of mouth testimony from these different sources convinced us to give it a try and we are glad that we did! Our son did learn and grow a lot! He was always excited about his teachers (Mrs. Creek and Ms Amy) and classmates. He transitioned into Kindergarten this Summer and we are excited to see him put into practice all that he learned here (QTLC’s curriculum is more advanced). We are still in touch with some of his classmates and their parents from Pre- K - thanks to the friendships cultivated here. Throughout our time at QTLC, the administrative staff and classroom teachers were very friendly and responsive. We really appreciate Mr. Crump and all the team members at QTLC. Please keep up the excellent work! God bless you all!

Honest review:This is one of most unorganized and dishonest centers I have ever stepped foot In. The lack of compassion and empathy is appalling and unacceptable. The leadership team do not have a clear method of communication amongst their staff and lack accountability. The owner and center director are not on the same page and seem to be more focused on their personally feelings than improving and bettering their center. They need to seriously reevaluate their systems and adopt a new approach. I do not recommend this to anyone!

Quality Time Early Learning Center is a GREAT choice for your child to attend. My daughter(Zaya) started at Quality Time at the age of 1 year of age and went there until she graduated from Kindergarten. I was/am well pleased with the school. My daughter is now in the 2nd grade and she is excelling in all of her classes thanks to Quality Time teaching them at a young age. Even though she started at 1 year of age they even then taught them educational things. They also taught them ahead of their grade level which I loved! I love the staff there because it was more than just "teachers and staff" but it's so close knit it's more like family.

Very convenient hours! I appreciated how they opened early and closed late. They were also open during snow and certain holidays. They are a good value. Excellent care for a reasonable cost.

All three of my children have attended QTLC. Their curriculum is far above any other day care. My husband and I loved it so much that we kept both our daughters there for Kindergarten and plan to do the same for our son. Our oldest daughter is in the third grade and has continued to stay above grade level and get straight A’s. QTLC builds the strong foundation every child needs to be successful both academically and socially.

Two boys matriculated through QTLC, oldest was there from 2yo through Kindergarten. Youngest is currently enrolled and will be there for as long as he can be. It's like sending them to an HBCU as an elementary school. They don't play games when it comes to educating and providing a safe and stimulating environment for the children. At times you may feel like the kids are more of a priority than you as a parent, that's fine with me. The administration and teachers have always treated me with respect and courtesy; they will let you know what's in the best interest for your child, whether you want to hear it or not. Their standard curriculum for your child will be one year ahead of the rest of the region... so my oldest son came out of the school leaps and bounds ahead of his peers...some of his friends went to public school and their families had to fight for more advanced work to stimulate their children...If you care about the quality of education and genuine commitment from administration and staff to care for and guide your young child, then this is the place. My wife and I tell other black parents that it's the 'hidden gem' of Silver Spring....I hesitated writing reviews for this place for years just so I can selfishly guarantee myself a spot for the following year........

Excellent! I can not say enough great things about this school. The teachers are amazing. They make learning fun. My son adores Mr Chris and Ms Creek. My 20 month old loves Ms Nani and Ms Antonnette. I was skeptical after reading some reviews, but having experienced it for myself, I am so glad we chose Quality Time. You won't be disappointed.

I’ve had three children at QTLC, and overall I’d say our experience has been very positive. While the administration is at times rather prickly, my children have had fantastic teachers and they enjoy their time there, and that is really what matters most. For instance, Ms. Etse, Ms. Jochebed, and Ms. Pearl truly exemplify the balance of fun, firmness, warmth, calmness, and cheerful positivity that we aspire to as parents. And while the curriculum for the preschool group (3+) is at the same time a bit too academic and a bit too technology-saturated for my tastes, I’m very pleased that my kids have developed a true love for learning. Highly reccommend.

Both of my children attend Quality Time, my daughter for the past 4 years and my son for the past 2. We have continued to send our children to QT because of the wonderful teachers and staff, and their dedication to quality care and education. I cannot say enough good things about the people who have taken care of my children at QT over the years, loving them as their own. Thank you Ms. Andrea, Ms. Lakisha and all of the wonderful and caring people at QT!

This is my son second year going to the school and we have been more than satisfied with his teachers both years. Last year he had Ms. Etsy and Ms. LaKeisha and this year he has Mr. Chris and Ms. Creek. I feel the teachers this year communicate daily about his progress and/or behavior. The teachers are on the same page with what they are telling either me or his dad. They are just a great team together. I have never seen them disagree or argue in front of their class and that speaks a lot. My son loves both his teachers and is exciting everyday when he gets to see them!

My daughter has been at QTLC since the age of 2. The biggest asset of the center are its teachers.She's had the privilege of having Ms. Etse in pre-K 3. Ms. Etse was nurturing but firm. Now in pre-K 4 , she as a dedicated and hard working teacher in Ms. Suman. The assistant- teacher Ms. Jochabed is a GEM. Both genuinely care for the students.I think QTLC needs to work more on meeting each child where they are, but, in general, it will provide your child with a good foundation.Also rules and policies need to be more effectively communicated.The administration is responsive to parental concerns.

Our son is in his 2nd year and is now in the pre-K 4's. Love his teachers and the work they have done with his increased vocabulary and focus. He loves the school, his teachers and his classmates. The detail at this early age on his study habits and group work will surely set them all up for success! Thanks!

My daughter has been at Quality Time for almost a year now and we love it so far. She started in the 3 year old class and is now in Pre-K. She reads very well and is great at math. She constantly amazes me! She loves her teachers Mr Chris and Ms Creek. I like how involved they are and they show genuine interest and concern.

Quality Time is Amazing ... Mrs Suman is a teacher you will never forget, my son has grown so much in socialization skills and he is reading and spelling on a first grade level. Ms Jochebed is also very loving and passionate. I highly recommend this school.

My daughter started school for the first time ever when she was three at quality time. She had not been exposed to other kids or people aside from family. Quality Time teachers were able to help her adjust very quickly. She is now in the Pre-K class and they are reading, writing, and giving presentations. Ms. Suman challenges the kids in a positive way. I'm very impressed and happy with the curriculum.

Our son has been at QTLC in the infant room since he was 12 weeks old (he's now 9 months) and we truly cannot imagine finding a more loving and caring environment for him. The teachers in the infant room obviously enjoy taking great care of the children. We also appreciate their creative ideas for parent engagement, including Halloween pumpkin painting and Valentine's Day songs, playtime, and handprint crafts. We look forward to learning baby sign language along with them as well. The office staff is pleasant and enforces the rules to keep the center running smoothly. Thank you QTLC for being such a wonderful part of our family!

Our child attended Quality Time for the 3-4 year old group, and is now in the PreK class. The teachers are friendly and very involved in the education of the children. The curriculum is fast-paced, which can be either good or bad depending on your child's needs and abilities. The uniform policy is far too strict in my opinion, with regard to sock color, etc. The leadership is becoming a bit more personable, which was a needed change. I am overall pleased with the facility.
