Jelly Beans Child Development Center

The staff at Jellybeans 2 in Waldorf helped our family out of a major bind when our current daycare situation became untenable. Having toured some of the major chain daycares (e.g., La Petite, Goddard School, Kindercare), I did not anticipate the warmth and personality imbued in this facility. The playground looked to be nearly half an acre, with a variety of nice (not all plastic like most places) equipment, including playhouses and a rock wall!
The teachers are all credentialed and work from a top-​flight curriculum, but are allowed to be creative as well. I loved the thoughtfully designed classroom and common areas and noted that the children all seemed very comfortable exploring the grounds and interacting with the staff. The fact that the director/​owner knew the children by name spoke to the fact that she is directly involved with the day-​to-​day routine — and apparently has been, since day one.
I am definitely looking forward to my toddler, Zachary, spending more time here. I am confident that the enriching environment and close-​knit staff will aid with his continual academic and social growth.
