Celebree Experiences?

[Anonymous]

There is a new Celebree opening in Laurel, MD. From the website, it looks like the classroom design focuses on simplicity, order, and beauty. I am so turned off by typical bright and busy wall decorations that I see in most preschool programs and am wondering if these centers are different. Thanks.

If your children have been there for PK-4, I'd be grateful for any experiences with schedule and curriculum that you'd be willing to share.

Please don’t procreate.

I would worry more about teachers certifications and years of experience. Was not impressed by Celebree Crofton.

They are looking for a director at the Celebree Laurel. Wait until the director is hired so you can meet the director before you decide to enroll.

Another new one is opening up near Tysons Corner in an office buildings there. I like the look of their website and what they're trying to do. Some children are overstimulated by all the busy-ness and boisterous typical play-based environments. I think they're trying to tone it down a bit and might be Montessori-inspired.

I worked for Celebree and they offer a really good program for preschoolers. My children flourished there.

Wow, holy sock puppeting.

I'm the person who commented to wait for a director to be hired before committing - the director makes a HUGE difference.

My concern with Celebree, as well as with Kindercare, La Petite and other franchises, is that they are franchises - so they can be very different based on who is running them - the Owner and Director - because they are the ones who hire, etc.

Thanks for this. I’m trying to make some decisions for fall and it’s getting late. But I think you’re right.
