First Learning Stages Daycare Center

"This daycare is absolutely amazing. The entire staff is dedicated to their craft on making sure our children has the best learning experience while nurturing them like their own. My daughter is so in love with this daycare that she can't wait until mornings to go see her friends. The staff embrace her each morning with love that I am proud to call this daycare home away from home. Don't mistake this awesome daycare facility with the terrible daycare in Oxon Hill where the teacher abuses the innocent children. No not that daycare. First Learning Stages Daycare rocks!!!"

"ZERO STARS. They abuse children here. Allowed their “teachers” to hit, push, pull and scream at the kids. Like they were nothing but gym stuck at the bottom of their shoe. It’s heartbreaking that people get these jobs without proper care and love for children in general. Disgusting staff. Will never never recommend a parent to pay for their child to be abused here daily. My heart goes out to the other parents that have experienced what myself and others have. Avoid at all costs."

"This daycare is amazing. All the staff took so much time to help my babies adjust, learn, and grow. Both of my babies left potty-trained ( youngest is 2) Both children had much better communication skills after leaving their care! They were truly a blessing. There was never an issue with communication or updates either. 10/10 would recommend!"

"My son attended First Learning Stages for 2 weeks. The teachers seemed well-intentioned and I believe he was well cared for in that time, however, when we spoke on the phone with the owner before he started we were told that we would be receiving daily updates via their app (Brightwheel). We did not receive updates at all about naps, meals, or diaper changes. After complaining about the lack of updates the next day we got 3 pictures, but after that it went back to almost nothing. When I would pick him up, there would be a brief conversation, but not as much as I'd like and key things would be missing. For example, if he didn't eat much that day, that affects what time we would do dinner at home (I could even call my husband and ask him to have my child's dinner ready when we got home) and I would have appreciated a heads up from his teacher, but I would end up finding out when I got home and there were full food containers. We decided to withdraw him and move to a different center and our experience has been markedly different. When we informed the owner that we were leaving she did express that she would be making changes, but we decided we did not want to stay long enough to see if things would get better."

"I love the staff at First Learning Stages. My kids have been there since there were 3 months and 6 weeks old, they are now 2 and 4 years old. It is such a nurturing and clean environment for children. The staff's devotion and experience with infants, toddlers, and young children is unmatched! They treat our little ones as their own all the while teaching and mentoring them for future success. I have watched my children grow at a tremendous rate and owe all the thanks to Nana and the rest of the team!"
