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

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.

Wow, holy sock puppeting.

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

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

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.
