The Joy of Learning Center Milford Mill 3609 Milford Mill Road, Milford Mill, MD 21244

"I really had high hopes for this center, because of the great reviews, but management was difficult. They started making ridiculous demands for the amount of food my six month old child needed. Every day I dropped him off, it was something new with how much food to bring. It was almost as if they were stocking supplies for themselves or wasting it. It went from 3 bottles, 3 jars of food and water per day to 5 bottles, not including the emergency of food. I know my child and my child sleeps half of the day and in no way eats this much. I ended up pulling him out after 3 weeks because the director was aggressive."

"Parents and possible employees beware!!!! My 17 year old daughter started working at this daycare center in March 2023. Within the first two week she got a raise but it was all down hill from there. The first thing that was very disturbing is when the teacher Ms. Shamin said to her that she does not like children. I could not not believe my ears. She also treats certain kids really mean. The next thing that happened was a disagreement between my daughter and Ms. Shamin where this grown woman stood in front of my daughter and told her she does not like her (right in front of the owner). Although she had been being treated very disrespectfully up until that point, it was time for me to step in at that point. When I met with the owner he admitted that Ms. Shamin had in fact said that she did not like kids and that she told my daughter that she did not like her. He said he spoke to Ms.Shamin and agreed that it was not appropriate for her to say those things. From there my daughter was constantly harassed and even told that she had to put in two weeks notice for an emergency wisdom teeth surgery and went on to tell that it is only an emergency if she was admitted into the hospital. Next they began to cut her hours twice. First they cut her hours from 1 pm to 6 pm. To 2:30 to 5:30. Then the told her she was on call and did not put her on the schedule for days so she was forced to put in two weeks notice. When she did that they never called her again. When she called to find out if she was an on call worker now they told her they would have to get back to her on that, which is why she put in her notice. This is the most unprofessional daycare I have ever seen. I would not work there because the male owner is so disrespectful and does not even know his own policies from there handbook. You will find out things as you go Ali g and they will act as if you were informed previously which is not the case. Take your children here or get a job here at your own risk."

"Awesome teaching and grooming on my son,he does things independently not wanting assistance."

"Best learning center for toodler and babies they took good care of my son. Would recommend to any mum. Love the place"

"My son has attend this center for going on two years now. He has just started in the 4 year old room and I must say he amazes me every time he come home. Since he first attend I have seen a huge improvement in his education far as him knowing his colors, writing, spelling, and also learning different languages. His Teacher in the first year was Miss Cierra she did wonderful with helping adapt to a new environment and teaching him the fundamentals. He loved her as his teacher and was excited to go to her class everyday. I would recommended this Center to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, education driven atmosphere for your child."
