Laurel Learning Center

"Best place ever! Grew up here and made life long friends. Great stuff and great learning place. And yes it ain’t gonna be perfect and you’ll have those hard days, but in the long way it’s worth it! Big Brent & Jose!"

"I have two daughters at laurel learning center (6 & 3) we have been coming to Laurel for almost 2 years this fall. I appreciate the inclusiveness, diversity, and warm welcoming reception that laurel offers. The staff are all amazing and hardworking!!!!! As a parent it’s always nice to see comfort and joy in your children and when I drop my girls off they truly feel just that. The staff and teachers truly care and they always take the initiative to make sure that as a parent you’re included in every experience your child has at the center. (I have a shoebox full of memories). This provides so much comfort as a single mom, to feel like I’m not missing anything during the day. I also love laurels determination when it comes to engaging the children with activities and introducing them to new adventures. From field trips, swimming pools, to Disney princesses, my girls always come home with stories to share and that warms my heart. The staff and Mrs. Courtney (Director of the center) have always been great with answering any questions or concerns, and if anything occurs with my children;(trips and falls) I have always been updated or given a phone call. I’ve never questioned the staff’s ability to provide a safe environment for my children. My gratitude and love for laurel comes from seeing how much my daughters enjoy going there and just the bond they have with their teachers and staff. That’s all you can ask for as a mom. I encouraged all parents to check out Laurel if their looking for childcare. It’s a safe environment full of growth, adventure, and love."

"After reading such rediculous reviews i would like to leave a real review. Yes accidents happen and children have a hard time adapting as they transition to other classrooms. I am a soldier a father and a husband and i have spent several off hours at this day care to see just how attentive and caring and constructive the agendas are for the kids. I now have a new born and he’s 2 weeks away from joining his brother there. Every class has proper paper work to be filled out on a child. Proper codes to follow by state, proper sanitation etc which i have seen first hand. This is a great institution and for most people a benefit since it is a non profit organization. I thank the staff from director Courtney to the teachers as well that all take good care of my son who has accelerated his ability to learn new things and always come home safe. For everyone that’s a parent and doesn’t write a honest review and only write about one bad moment please remember you chose the school for such a long time for a reason. If you felt the way you did it wouldn’t take you years to write a bad review. Respect the ment and women who take care of your children while your working or not. Thank you laurel learning center. I am 34 years old and i was a student under some of the same staff."

"The director is unprofessional, and uncaring to the children at this center. Her brother, Brent Park was working here September 20th,2018 when he left my son on their daycare bus for 2 hours after dropping kids off to Lake Anne ES because he did not check the bus as most typical bus procedures exist. My son was found in the parking lot of the daycare by a pre-school teacher who happened to grab something from her car and saw him in the parking lot. In reality, my son could have suffocated on the bus, been hit my a car, kidnapped, etc., prior to being found by this teacher. The director and owners of this daycare agreed it was okay for Brent Park to continue working around children while a CSP investigation was underway. A week after Brent Park left my son on the bus, he also thought it was okay to grab by son by the left arm along with Mr. Jose, pulling him from looking for me at the school age center window/door like he does everyday. These teachers left red marks up and down my sons arm which I found after dropping my daughter off first, and finding my son hiding, crying, and holding his arm in the school age room. After I demanded my son be removed from the school age section of the daycare for safety. Courtney Jam. Park considered me a liar to others even after showing her my sons arm. Finally, when Brent was fired for neglect, the director Ms. Courtney Jamborsky-Park, found it necessary to call the police on a death of our family pet in spite of her brother being fired without speaking to me directly on the matter, and exaggerating the situation to create havoc and more trama on my family. We have been at this daycare for over 2 years had minor issues until my son moved to the school age section. There are several irreplaceable and incredible pre-school and toddler age teachers, but do not give any trust to Courtney the director, or Fran, the assistant to. This daycare could be so much more if they upgraded to a professional, unselfish director and overall persons in charge. Your children deserve a safer environment, which includes walking into less than a 20+ kids to a 1 teacher ratio."

"Son broke femur bone here due to teachers not paying attention correctly. Staff didn't call 911 and were bouncing him on their laps while femur is broke and he was in pain. They gave me multiple stories about what happened. And we're never clear about the story. Multiple friends who have sent their kids here have also come to the light about injuries and incident reports and staff yelling at children (toddler room) . I've also eye witnessed this. Also not very constructive for the little guys. Not much stimulation or learning. Just a lot of running around while staff sit back. They also would keep calling me while I was at college or trying to study saying my son HAD to have a bottle when he already graduated to sippy cups. They are not good at adapting to the needs of children."
