GAP Community Child Development Center 209 Upshur Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20011

"My son loves to tell me about his day and is reading at 3. Teachers are lovely and I trust the leadership here."

"I love the teachers! And you can tell how much the teachers love the kids. They engage with the parents everyday (even during COVID when parents couldn’t go back to the classroom they would stop & talk to the parents about the baby’s day). They were always so excited to see the little ones at drop off and everyone came to say goodbye to the baby at pick up. The support staff is very friendly as well; it has that neighborhood family center feel which has been so comforting during this timeframe."

"Both my kids have attended this daycare since 2-3 months of age; both will likely be here through preschool. My spouse and I love it and can't imagine our little ones being anywhere else. The staff are caring and seem to be trained in the most current best practices. The administrations are friendly to and communicate well with the parents and also have caring relationships with the kids. This place comes highly recommended."

"The gap is truly a great place for your child. My daughter started at 6 weeks old, by far the earliest I have ever placed my child in daycare, so understand how new it was. They took her in with much love, respect and understanding of my situation which was very important. My daughter grew out of her baby months into her now toddler year with the great help of Ms. Kelly and Ms. Howi (sorry if i misspelled) . She absolutely loved walking through those doors, smiling and running into Ms. Kelly or Barbara's arms :) Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have told a lot of parents about The Gap and given my recommendations."

"My son has been at GAP for 2 years—during which he was loved and nurtured. I find this daycare to be a real gem in the neighborhood, with some real amazing women and teachers. I am grateful to them for all the care and attention they gave to my son: it's a pleasure to see his emotional development as a result of it."
