Watchful Eye Daycare of Columbia 10453 Green Mountain Circle, Columbia, MD 21044

"Hands down the cleanest safest most structured caring daycare I’ve ever been around. The good reputation of Lisa and her team goes back to 2014 for me. (Mom of 7-30 to 14)So glad to be back in the area to allow my next generation (grand baby) to learn and grow!"

"Unfortunately we had quiet a bad experience with them. They do not work with families based on their needs and situations and they are not flexible nor supportive. They are full of rules and it feels like being in the army, not in a childcare environment. My baby had medical condition that often required medication and I was forced to give up my job and keep her home (even if those days were paid for!) just because I had to give her medicine during the day and They won’t allow me to come to the school two seconds to administrate it. On top of her condition, my baby was often sick with cold and flue and often neglected on diaper changes which would lead to terrible rashes that required lot of caring to heal. They are cold and distant, there’s no relationship between the family and them and you know nothing about their days unless you ask. The only thing you know is what you see through couple of photos they post in the app. We never felt like they cared and that we were basically just a paying number (keep in mind, there was only my baby and another one in the toddler class. It was Very strange since all the daycare visited, even those brand new, were always over booked and full of children. They kept saying more children were coming the next week but my baby stayed 2 months with only one friend in the class) Food wise, there were days they would leave my baby only with some snacks because “she would not eat” The reason she wouldn’t eat was the fact she is used to good food at home and gold fish and apple sauce were not her fav meals for sure. They served a lot of processed food and scolded me when I asked them to not give the can apple sauce and serve fresh fruit instead. They called me and in a very rude way, basically told me I could change school if I didn’t agree. Ps. At the beginning, there was a very good teacher in the toddler class and we had a good communication pattern with her and out of the blue she was gone. Two other young ladies were introduced as my daughter’s teacher and experience with them wasn’t good at all. Overall, we did not experience a positive journey into this daycare center and decided to remove our daughter from it. Our baby is now thriving, never sick, we know exactly how she spends her day and the food she eats is healthy! We absolutely not recommend this daycare center for your little one."

"As a teacher who worked at this location I wanted to talk about how amazing the staff is. Coming from a teachers prospective you have the freedom to create your lessons and you are cared about. Mrs.Lisa makes sure all of her staff are taken care of and provides all the tools you may need to be a successful in the classroom. For parents in knowing that the teachers are being well taken care of means your child is also being well taken care of. Each teacher works very hard to make lessons that are challenging and not too advanced for each child to learn. I have worked in a lot of daycares and I can honestly say that this is the only daycare I would every consider going back to. As a former daycare teacher now; I can assure you that if you send your child here they will be fully prepared for their next journey into school. Happy learning! Mrs.Mikey"

"We have our infant baby girl enrolled here and she loves it. I love that staff is so nice and helpful! I love seeing pictures from her activities during the day. They also offer Saturday care once a month which is a big plus."

"My 4yr old loves it here. His teacher is patient and amazing. He's always learning and discovering and talking about his whole day. The playground is awesome and I like that they let the kids just be kids and have fun."
