Testimonials

My son attended Mary Hart Center since he was 3. I was worried about the transition from home to school, but the Maryland Child Services staff are so dedicated that helped him feel like if he were at home. He is now in Kindergarten but never forgets Mrs. Gloria and her staff. Now and then we stop at the center to say Hi. I would highly recommend this center to other parents!

 

I enrolled my two daughters in the before and after school programs at the Colesville location about 4 years ago. I am a mother who works full time and worried about my daughters when they were not at home. My worries ended when I found this center. My daughters receive enough help and support to complete their homework and additional projects and have the chance to socialize with other children of their age. They have made longtime friends!. I will always be grateful to all the staff for their time and dedication.”

Summer camp programs at Maryland Child Centers are amazing!. My daughter Annie attended summer camps. The centers have programs full of activities and field trips to the zoo, museums, water parks, you name it!. My daughter begs me to go to school during summer :). The staff is great. Always dedicated and responsible. I cannot wait for summer to start!

 

I am very proud of the progress my son has made at the school. He started the year having difficulties talking even though he was already 3. Together with the adequate therapy and the dedication of the teachers my son has made huge improvements. We are lucky to have these centers as part of our communities.
