  Can't say enough good things about my kiddo's time here. I had no experience with "daycare," but have learned that these professionals are best in class. From the infant "class" to the "toddlers" program, I have been very impressed by what my child learns and does daily and the exceptional care received (shout out to the wonderfully kind, patient, caring, fun, and experienced teachers (Tabitha, Judy, Tiombe, Kayla, Destiny, Gabie, Michelle, Monica, Helen, Kim, Ben, Loretta, who I feel so good about leaving my heart with for so many hours of the week. I have toured other daycare centers in DC and this one feels the best (spacious, clean, natural light, lots of toys and books, etc.) - maybe a "get what you pay for" situation, but when I walk in and leave my favorite person there, I know it's safe and great for her development and growth. I see my child thriving and happy with the other kids, staff, and many activities. The director and assiatant director are present and phenomenal -- attentive, know everyone, and accessible. The catered food for the kids comes from The Good Food Company, and there is an onsite contained outdoor play area (even an inddor play rolm.for when they cant go outside) the kids seem to love. The photos and videos they post in the app make my day, and even the security guards are friendly as you walk into the secure building. Highly recommend here and to my own colleagues and friends.

  We have been a Fingerprints family for three years. Our first is about to age out of the program and we are enrolling our second child early next year. The Center has been a place where our child has thrived. The teachers are incredible, it is a great mix of teachers with literally decades of experience at the center, as well as fabulous new teachers who are so dedicated to the kids. I know several parents who have kids that are grown (in their 20’s) and their children had some of the same (WONDERFUL) teachers our child has now. It is a very special place and community with an established core team. The space is light-filled and happy, the kids have their own large personal playground in the Interior building courtyard, as well as a great “movement matters” large place space down the hall from where the classrooms are located. They have a good mix of classroom time, outside time, “water play days” where we send our kids in suits and they make the playground a little water park. The kids mix with other classes a decent amount, which has been very fun because it exposed our kid to playtime with all different ages (and there is nothing cooler to a toddler than playing with a preschooler). But really, the thing that makes this place special are the staff and teachers. We feel so lucky we are able to send our kiddos here where they are so loved and cherished by the entire team.

  We've been at Fingerprints for the past 4 years and couldn't be happier. We've sent both our kids there, starting in the infant room and graduating on up to their Kindergarten-Prep class. The teachers are fantastic and keep an open line of communication on growth and developmental milestones. They also serve as my go-to resource when dealing with age-specific challenges at home. My parents have been so impressed at what my kids have learned at school-- from basic life skills & emotional intelligence to elementary addition/subtraction, writing and reading before kindergarten. The school has a new playground which the kids love and is heavily utilized. We feel safe and secure inside the Dept. of Interior building. The school is bright, airy, colorful and welcoming to all. They have also been strictly following all COVID-19 protocols. I highly recommend to any prospective family looking for childcare in downtown DC.
