  Phenomenally excellent center. My grandson has been a student for almost a year now. I pick him up every Wednesday afternoon for grandad play time. I am also on the email list which gives me access to multiple pictures and videos of his daily activities. I am very impressed with the center and its staff. From the front desk to his room, to staff members you ran into walking around, every one is friendly and accommodating. Miss Lei, lead instructor in his room, clearly loves my grandson. The extensive number of learning activities offered is quite impressive. It is amazing how much my grandson retains and emulates when we follow up on the activities. The variety of play activities and socialization opportunities is remarkable. My grandson’s progress is impressive. Knowledge Beginnings is a safe, friendly, nurturing environment .

  My son has been here for 2 years and absolutely loves it. The communication from management and teachers alike is prompt, detailed and clear. I’m super happy we ended up at KB!

  My children, 5 and 3, have been at Laurel KB for just over two years. Everyone there is extremely friendly, helpful, and patient. We've been happy with all of the teachers as well as the front desk and support staff. We get multiple updates per day about what our children are doing, which is comforting. This school also doesn't seem to have as bad of a teacher turnover problem as we experienced at a previous center.

  Beware!!! Absolutely horrible!!! Don't waste your time! We removed our son after just over one month. I work from home, have a flexible schedule and was able to spend a significant amount of time (several hours per day) as our son began attending this day care. I personally witnessed one of the assistant "teachers" calling a newly enrolled 15- 18 month old baby a racist and verbally abusing the child by yelling profusely in her face all because the child did not like the teacher. When the director, Gena "reported" the incident to the child's parents she lied about why the child was being moved to another class and did not share with them what had actually happened. The parents had no idea what happened until I told them. The director informed myself and the parents that the "teacher" would not be caring for the child again. I informed her that I also do not want this woman caring for my son and she informed me that she would not be working in my son's classroom. The director was very protective of the "teacher" told me that other parents like this teacher. I shared with her if the other parents had the luxury of time, were able to spend the amount of time i did in the classroom and witnessed what i did, they would not want her caring for their child either. She then said "Well, my son likes her too". I responded by saying "It is this woman's job to make sure that the son of her boss likes her"! Shortly after as I was dropping my son off, there the "teacher" was in my son's classroom. As soon as I noticed her in the room, I picked my son up and exited the building. This was my son's last day, never to return again!!! Also, I witnessed two children in our son's class biting other children and nothing was done. Eventually, it was our son's turn to be victimized as he too was bit and the matter was handled horribly. The director, Gena cared more about protecting the privacy of the aggressor than she cared about ensuring our son's well being. I then asked "What are you going to do to prevent this aggressive behavior" and she responded by saying "Biting is not aggression, it is learned behavior". I responded by saying "Even if it is learned, it is an aggressive form of learned behavior". Her response to a horrified mother who was left to console her traumatized son was "We can't prevent this from happening...we can't watch them every second". When asked about the health/ immunization status of the child, she refused to provide such information. We had to call the police while standing in front of her before she agreed to share with us whether the child was up to date on immunizations. Don't waste your time nor money!!! This place is overpriced and a complete waste!!!

  Seemed like a nice daycare. A little pricey for us though.
